THE MONSTER KING ROARS!A hundred years ago, during a GREAT WAR, Maou, THE MONSTER KING, has been defeated and sealed away by human HEROES. For a hundred years, he was biding his time, and recovering his strengh. During that time, MONSTERS didn't dissapear from the world, but with MONSTER KING sealed, a person would need to be exceptionaly evil to transform. Places with evil aura can also spawn monsters on it's own! But not often. And with monster population low, the HEROES could always beat them back.But now THE MONSTER KING stirs in his prison. He releases his power into the world in a terryfying roar! Humans who's heart is black on the inside, the ones harboring EVIL within them, cannot withstand the call of their inner monster, and by the power of MONSTER KING'S ROAR they transform!
(You) are one if these freshly transformed people! What kind of monster did you turn into? And why are you so evil on the inside anyway?

(You) were at your absolute fucking limit. A late night gaming session has escalated into a horrible lose streak, that threatened to put you back in bronze where you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BELONG. You were just about to call your support a slur in allchat, as the ROAR hit.The wave of pure primal EVIL has passed through you.. and took hold. The hate inside of you sharpened and crystalized, as your body began to seemingly turn to the same mold that started growing in the corners of your filthy room some time ago. The transformation should have probably horrified you, but your mind was suprisingly clear. The only emotion concerning your apparent transformation into a MONSTER, was a mild surprise. You thought only *really* fucked up people became monsters: serial killers and such. Well, doesn't matter now. You had a more important train of thought to attend.All these months, YEARS spent grinding. You, the god gamer, were destined for greateness. Prise money from tournaments. Mentally ill women moaning as they played support for you. Cool edits of your kill streaks that gained more than 4 views. You should have had it all. If not for these fucking TEAMMATES. And MODS, banning you for constructive criticism. And DEVS making the game uncarriable.It was time for revenge.The MYSTERIOUS ROAR has shattered your window and threw the curtains across the room. You could hear screams and car alarms from the street below, but that was unimportant right now. What was important is HOW you gonna enact your 100% JUSTIFIED revenge.You put your somewhat solid mold tentacles together and came to a decision.
You have 2 decisions to make. FIRST, what kind of REVENGE are you plotting?>You must find the guy who played support for you just now and MAKE HIM PAY. Head to the the Uprising studios building to get his IP address.>You must DESTROY the gaming company that made such a shit game. Head to the Uprising studios building to wreak havoc>You must have the prize that should have been yours years ago. Head to the e-sports tournament and TAKE IT>You know what, just cause general chaos. That will get your point across. Join the commotion down on the street, you're pretty sure you hear gunshots and spells go off down there together with lots of explosions and screaming.>(write-in?)SECOND, you must choose how you will approach BATTLE. Your mold body is light and floaty but fairly feeble, just strong enough to hold and swing simple objects as weapons. Looking around the room you consider several options for your SUBCLASS (it's not really binding)>GHOST MODE>CHARIOT MODE>MOLD IN THE SHELL MODE>(write-in?)

Your decision is made, and your new shell has been acquired: a cardboard box reinforced on the inside with a solid layer of mold(with some cool looking blue fungi strands for decoration). Now you are ready.Destroying all videogames is admittedly a lofty goal, but you decided to begin from the ground up. Which means you are crashing your local 24/7 GameStart store.Down on the street the chaos seems to have simmered down somewhat. The ROAR left many windows shattered, but all other destruction should probably be attributed to newborn monsters going off on their own insane(not your though, yours is justified) crusades. Also, besides dead humans and general area damage, you can see defeated monsters strewn about, killed by various magical and mundane means, which means HEROES have recognized the emergency and gone out tonight in full force.
As you make your way into the mall, you realize with great horror that somebody already had your exact idea! The GameStart storefront is already in ruins, there's a dead(knocked out?) monster slumped near the wall, and a hero is on the scene, currently helping the battered clerk get onto a small cloud that hovers in mid-air. Also there's possibly ANOTHER hero around, as there is a black van with a "tacticool hero team" logo on it, parked right in front of the manga store.As you begin to consider your options, the white-haired hero turns to you. – ah crap, another one..She collects herself for a second and strikes a pose with her staff.– You! Monster! I'm C-Rank HERO Breeze! Surrender please or I'll have to hurt you!Looks like it's a fight then. You pick up a piece of rebar as an improvised weapon and ready yourself.HOW DO YOU ATTACK?>Actually just surrender. You haven't been yourself lately>Mold her feet to the floor and then swing!>Puff a cloud of spores at her!>Ram her with your shell!>Scamper away as you throw rubble at her!>(Write-in?)WHAT DO YOU SAY?

>>6313252>>6313283>>6313285You actually did know what a C-rank HERO was, and you knew that this rank is second to last. Which could only mean one thing. You pointed the accusatory rebar piece at Breeze, who was still holding the pose from her heroic self-introduction.– You.. are a fucking SCRUB– Hey! That's rude!– A low-rank SHITTER– ...– RETARDED FOID N#$@!& yapping at me even before I vandalized the store I was intending to va..Oh shit, she's fast!Breeze charged, sliding right above the floor on the small hovering clouds that have formed beneath her massive shoes. In a moment of slight panic, you released your spore cloud(suprisingly light blue colored) at her too early, and she scattered it away in one smooth twirling motion of her staff, amplified by the power of her air magic.Okay, for a diversity hire she's not ba-TWACK
The blow sent you flying, sliding, and finally crashing into the wall. Your shell dented heavily from the staff strike but held, although you're pretty sure one more good hit would make the cardboard split at the seams.As you rise to your tentacles, Breeze steadily approaches you while speaking."You know, all you new monsters from this night seem to be mostly just grumpy people caught up in that ROAR from earlier. So I felt pretty guilty about pummeling the last guy who came to wreck this store. He wasn't himself, you know? Pretty weak, too..""But letting you talk for a while really made this much easier on my conscience."Her hair darkens, like clouds before the storm. A ball of compressed air gathers in her hand, swirling violently.ROUND 2HOW DO YOU ATTACK?>Surrender. She's scary and she might actually kill you. (killing monsters is allowed, they don't have human rights)>Bait the air ball throw and hit it back with rebar!>Engage in glorious melee!

>>6313678>>6313668>>6313667"MY VENGEANCE AGAINST THE WORLD IS A SERIOUS MATTER!" That was more shrill than you intended. She's getting on your nerves. And she has the gall to just shrug at you! "I mean, I'll take this over the usual murder-cannibalism routine. "Still bringing you in though." She winds up for a toss. Damn, that one looks like a big attack, you gotta do something! For a moment you consider some sort of a distance-closing mycelium-based slingshot contraption, but before you could even think that through, the ball is already flying at you! Acting on pure instinct and with a surprising amount of self confidence, you don't even try to dodge. Instead, you remember every single cool clip of that cyber-ninja character from LoM (that you could have totally mained if you wanted) and swing at the RAPIDLY approaching projectile in a deflection attempt! The air ball hits your weapon with a dull TWOMP, ambient winds swirling around it, flapping the cardboard of your shell and even scattering bits of your mass away. Then, with an eloquent "FUCK YOU", you power through and send it away towards Breeze! The resulting blast shatters every glass window in the mall that survived the ROAR and rattles you even at a distance. Breeze is sent ragdolling through the air.
You seize the advantage, rushing the downed woman, and she *barely* manages to cloud-lift herself into the fighting position before your charge hits. The melee is fast and sloppy, you lacking the technique and she, having eaten her own super-attack, lacking the strength to really put up a good show. She holds desperately for a dozen strikes, but with a strong swing and a tentacle swipe, you send her staff clattering away and her ass to the floor. You level the rebar at her with finality and speak with a grave tone. You know talking now just gives her a chance to escape, but you must know.– Now, answer me, you $!%@#&. What was your last season rank in LoM?–W-ha? League, the famously horrible online game?– Yes. – I.. only play moondew valley and critter crossing..You physically recoil.

As you behold the defeated CASUAL, it becomes clear to you that she must be educated on the ways of hardcore gaming (before you destroy it forever). And also punished for her various sins, like hitting you after you called her a slur. The two-in-one solution is necessary here. You menacingly bring your incredibly moldy shell over her downed form. Her eyes dilate as she sees the insides of the box, so overgrown with mold you can't even see the cardboard."Noooo, please don't eat me, not like thiiiiis"Ignoring her screams, you start victoriously teabagging her body. Looks a bit weird with tentacles, but you believe the point gets across. As you crouch spam, you also discharge a spore cloud all over her, some settling into her hair, some into her clothes. At this point her screaming becomes ultrasonic and she summons whatever last bits of strength she had to puff a thin cloud under her body and book it from under you, towards the skylight."NOOOO WHAT DID YOU DO, I DON'T WANNA BECOME A MUSHROOM ZOMBIE, MY TEAMMATES WILL AVENGE ME, YOU.. WHATEVER YOur name iiiiisss.."You look at her flying away, wailing the whole time, and note with satisfaction that you can already see mold growing on her moon shoes and blue strands poking out of her hair cloud. With that dealt with, you can finally do what you came here for. Vandalism. Inside the GameStart store, some shelves are knocked over, and one monitor has a chunk seemingly bitten out of it, but nothing major has been done yet. Good. That's what you're here for.You place yourself in the middle of the aisle, tense your mycelium, focus on your power, and discharge a spore bomb of truly ludicrous proportions. Exhausted, you lay yourself limp on the ground, waiting for the spore clouds to clear. The finished work lives up to your expectations. There are thick growths of solid and puffy mold all over the store, some walls are nearly covered completely. You can already see several types of fruiting bodies spring out of walls and the air remains thick with spores. The source of videogames is no more, an infestation of that kind will keep growing until it envelops the entire mall, unless cleaned with flamethrowers or fungicide. You reckon this mall will become a minor dungeon in a week or less.
You honestly had no idea you were capable of this much area denial. Maybe your grand victory over Breeze has made you stronger? Whether that's true or not, there will be more fights in the future, and your current shell is simply not up to the task. A greater one must be found, for greater deeds. Thankfully, you're in a mall. Plenty of things to choose from. CHOOSE A NEW SHELL>SAFE. Box worked out pretty well for what it was. So why not take a stronger box?>JOHN SPACE PLASTIC STATUE.

>>6314539>also QM>do we have time to look for the new monster after getting our armor or has that opportunity passed?Well, the idea was: the guy/girl in the manga store is getting absolutely ventilated by the member of the tacticool hero team and is either dead or VERY wounded and captured.I could spin it as "it was such a cowardly monster that they immediately surrendered" and give you the option of doing a van intercept/prisoner breakout when you're out of the mall.

>>6314620>filling the inside of the safe full to the brim with lewd pinups of gacha girlsJust like grandpa did to his tent during the GREAT MONSTER WAR 100 years ago.
Before you leave the thoroughly infested store, you pause to grab the MORE GACHA poster off the wall. While your goal is to destroy all videogames (especially gacha), it still wouldn't hurt to have this to.. remind you of the enemy, yes! And massive anime titties, that helps too. But while trying to fit the poster into your battered SHELL, you realize that the box simply won't do anymore. Thus, you venture on a little shopping trip. And while you find several shells with various gimmicks, the simplicity of THE BOX really appeals to you, so you quickly settle for a large safe you found in the back of the jewelry store. After transferring your possessions (rebar and a gacha poster) you properly contaminate your new shell for a while, making it a part of you. The heft of the new SHELL takes some getting used to, but you manage and prepare to leave the mall, as the commotion in the middle draws your attention. A sharp-looking guy with round glasses, combat gear, and ghostly tentacles sprouting from his back pushes out a handcuffed and gagged monster girl(?) out of the manga store towards the black van parked just outside. Neither of them seem harmed. For a moment you consider a daring rescue, but fate says "fuck you" immediately, as an ice platform floats in through the ruined skylight, carrying three more heroes, seemingly elementalists. That bitch Breeze must have snitched on you! The girl who is 2/3 on fire waves enthusiastically to the hero below.– Heeey! Hey Glocktopus! Hiiiii! Have you seen a spore monster around?Gloctopus raises his head and gives a friendly-ish wave in return. – "Nah, I got a wannabe hypnotist here" he opens the van doors and shoves the monster inside. "Hey, do you guys know what's with the new "capture if they surrender" directive?"Fire girl opens her mouth to continue chatting, but the man with his head encased in a block of ice interrupts her by pointing his hand at the GameStart store.– It was here for a while. One of the shops seems overgrown.His voice is deep and calm, apparently unhindered by all the ice around his head.– Oh it is! Well, I could just burn it all right now! I'm real good at it!– Will it take long?– A bit, but you can leave me here, I'll handle the infestation!– No. Start purging, we'll keep watch. This has everyone stretched thin, but acting alone is too dangerous.Fire head starts replying, but you don't stay to watch the heroes figure it out. Quietly, you tiptoe your way out of the mall and into the cool night air. You don't even make it two blocks before you are interrupted.
– IT'S A GOOD NIGHT, ISN'T IT?You spin to face a nearby alleyway and freeze immediately. Before you stands a MONSTER. Giant, four-legged, with spiked limbs circling his head, seemingly eyeless, but staring right at you. His friendly grin is offset by all the blood.– "HEROES HUNT IN PACKS YOU KNOW?" he continues in a conversational tone, "BUT NOT TONIGHT. YOU NEWBORNS HAVE THEM OVEREXTENDED." he calmly bites a chunk out of the corpse that hangs on one of his limbs and continues to talk while chewing.– "WHATH HYOUR *crunch* NHAME?" – "Moldy"– "NICE T' MEET YA MOLDY. I'M IO" He licks the blood off his teeth and continues in a friendly manner. "WON YOUR FIRST FIGHT, DIDN'T YA? I CAN SEE BY THE EYES. HOW DOES A ONE LIKE YOU EVEN EAT 'EM? WITH ROOTS?"– "Mycelium"– "YEAH SAME THING. ANYWAY, I'M JUST HERE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE. FUN'S GONNA END SOON, MOST OF THE NEWBORNS GOT BLASTED ALREADY. YOU GOTTA GET OFF THE STREETS. AFTER ALL, WE GONNA NEED ALL OF YOU FOR THE WAR."– "The WAR?"– "YEAH" He gives you a broad smile. "WE WERE OUTNUMBERED HARD FOR THE LONGEST TIME, BUT NOW KING SENDS REINFORCEMENTS. SOON, WE CAN BEGIN." His tone becomes wistful. "SOON WE WILL KILL AND EAT ALL HUMANS."He pauses for a moment collecting his thoughts.– "RIGHT, DIRECTIONS. YOU GOTTA GO UNDERGROUND. WE GONNA HOLD A MEETING THERE SOON. YOU NEWBORNS ARE GONNA MEET SOME OLD GUARD, LIKE ME. JUST FOLLOW THE OLD TUNNELS."Satisfied with himself, he turns and slinks into the darkness of the alleyway, but not before adressing you.– "YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE, RIGHT? WOULDN'T WANNA DISSAPOINT ME.."– "Uhhh, yep! If I can make it!"– "I'M SURE YOU CAN." He chuckles. "YOU'RE GONNA BE A GREAT MONSTER, I CAN TELL."With that, he leaves. He moves very quietly for something that big.Well, shit. NOW WHAT>You can hear a van driving in your direction. Chances are, that's Glocktopus transporting his monster captive. Time for a prison transport intercept.>Go underground. See what you'll find.>Go home. Getting conscripted into the monster king liberation front doesn't interest you.>Go find an abandoned place to hole in for a while. Your home is probably unsafe.>Go destroy some more videogames. You can handle the increased hero presence.>(Write-in?)
>>6314910>Go find an abandoned place to hole in for a while. Your home is probably unsafe.if we KILL ALL HUMANS then how will we make them SUFFER by destroying all VIDEO GAMES!? No, there must be humans left alive to lament the lack of VIDEO GAMES when out VENGANCE is complete. We must make a MOLD HIDEOUT, with MOLD DEFENSES!
>>6314910>Go destroy some more videogames. You can handle the increased hero presence.Make sure to write "Check the Tunnels" when we mold the place. You see, if the heroes are busy fighting the other monsters, they can't stop us from DESTROYING ALL VIDEOGAMES! MUAHAHAHA!
>>6314910>>Go underground. See what you'll find.
>>6314910>>6314913+1 to this. Might wanna get set up before the proverbial mold hits the fan
>>6314910>Go underground. See what you'll find.Do I necessarily want to kill and eat all humans? No. But do I want to make an enemy of all monsters? Also no. MORE no. We can hide out and do our our NEET gamer grudge thing after we've appeased our boss/creator/whatever.
oh I think I like this quest>>6314910>Go find an abandoned place to hole in for a while. Your home is probably unsafe.That is one gnarly motherfucker, but I'm not sure if killing and eating all humans aligns with our own goals. Plus, joining up with the other monsters might mean we might be forced to get a JOB. YUCK. That is not the way a man of our moldy might should behave. We'll lie low and get a dank-ass apartment that looks sick and encourages our mold growth.
>>6314910>Go underground. See what you'll find.My line of reasoning is that while we don't have to commit to human genocide, participating in a mission or two will be good for our experience. There's bound to be a few likeminded monsters down there. If we can work together, we'll be stronger. It would also keep us on the good side of other monsters which is paramount, as our goals are antithetical to most humans.
>>6314931My IP keeps changing, I'm >>6314479
>>6314910>Go underground. See what you'll find.I don’t think killing people aligns with our noble goal but I also don’t want to make a bad impression on the scary monster so let’s go see what the evil murder rape base is about.
>>6314910>>Go underground. See what you'll find.Monster societies are COOL.
>>6314910>>Go underground. See what you'll find.Let's not get on the big guy shitlist for now at least, let's pop in get some food, see what they preach, leave and go back on our goal about DESTROY ALL VIDEOGAMES!!
>>6314910>Go underground. See what you'll find.we can free the hypnogoblin waifu later for now we dont want to piss off a guy who is eating humans for fun when we barely won against a chick with wind powers in a game of baseball besides if we know what kind of monsters are out there we can judge if they will aid our quest or not besides meeting some other new monsters will help us build our league team (toxicity is best shared)
>>6314910>You can hear a van driving in your direction. Chances are, that's Glocktopus transporting his monster captive. Time for a prison transport intercept.
>>6314910>Go find an abandoned place to hole in for a while. Your home is probably unsafe.
>>6314478>lets find all of the monster corpses around metal shell core surrounded by bones and flesh animated by mold, lets becomes a cool monster thats totally bad ass
Killing and eating all humans doesn't actually align with your goals, for all it's worth. But Io seems to be driving quite a hard sell here, so for now you'll head down to the "meeting" and see what it's like. The trail of dripping blood that you'd started following soon disappears, but you have already figured out where Io was headed. The gaping hole in the side wall of a deserted metro station proves you correct.As you follow the chill draft downwards, the winding tunnels go from modern maintenance and infrastructure to brickwork houses from the times of the first metro lines to basements, bunkers, and temples of unknown time period and origin. Guess the proverb was true: the City wasn't built on the ground, it was built on the City. You begin to feel a tug of an invisible line, leading you through the positively chtonic looking archways. Perhaps an innate monster sense that you now have? Or a special ability of some kind. The tunnel you're following opens up into a large chamber. You're too focused on the muted sounds of clamor coming from ahead and almost miss a monster standing guard in a dark alcove.–"Move along, fresh meat. The rally is starting soon. The GENERAL will be speaking." the feline creature purrs and lazily waves you in. Her tone isn't as friendly as Io's, but then again, she's not nearly as large or fucked up looking. So you don't freeze this time.As you walk in, she steps out of her hiding place and blocks the way back. There were at least several hundred monsters in the grand hall, maybe even more than a thousand. Most of the crowd look about your size, other newborns, you guess. Fights and arguments break out here and there, but the crowd seems mostly controlled, and more monsters are arriving through numerous archways and tunnels. In the middle of the chamber, on the raised platform, a grand worm lays coiled, his only eye closed. Wait, you know this guy! From the history classes, no less. That must be the GENERAL, Luhud is his name if you remember correctly. At least a hundred years old, a remnant of the MONSTER WAR. The invisible thread that led you through the tunnels is coming from him, now going slack as you reached the intended destination.
Well, the ancient and terrifying monster seems dormant for now, perhaps waiting for the stragglers to gather.For now, you should probably occupy your time somehow in this crowd of fellow monsters. WHO TO APPROACH>A centaur-shaped girl is visibly seething, looking around for someone to pick a fight with.>A fish guy with really buff arms is trying his best to look stoic.>The snail guy seems to be playing a game on his phone.

>>6315600>waifu>as a gross mold creatureNot until we manage to unlock our Ethan Winters form
>>6315605You bring up an interesting point. How malleable is our physiology? Can we grow different colors and textures of mold? If we kill or beat enough heroes, will we get strong enough to make our own ideal form? That giant horse-crab-spider thing probably got so big and tough from eating his reds instead of his greens.
>>6315298>>A centaur-shaped girl is visibly seething, looking around for someone to pick a fight with.we gotta
>>6315608>How malleable is our physiology?You can become solid if you wish, but not quite human-looking. Kind of like the mushroom guys from hollow knight or dark souls. You guys didn't go with ghost mode, so I would assume physical form upgrades would fit. The safe is kind of a bitch to carry as is. I was intending to do a "level up in your sleep" thing, after the NIGHT OF THE ROAR is over. So soon-ish. You'll get the usual three options

>>6315298>A centaur-shaped girl is visibly seething, looking around for someone to pick a fight with.She appears to have frustrations similar to those of our own character.
You've gotten some previews of what 'self-made' monsters are like, but surely your fellow newborns would be less fixated on eating humans and more willing to face the REAL enemy. Speaking of, you can literally see a snail guy near you playing a gacha game on his phone right now! And gacha is *the* enemy! (The poster notwithstanding). You consider confronting him, but taking into account that he's a fellow SHELL bearer, decide to postpone. Perhaps he'll realize the error of his ways by himself. Instead, you approach a fish dude standing to the right of you, but before you can even open your mouth, he interrupts you.–"Sorry man, can't talk right now, gotta keep my mewing streak. Trying to become monster pilled here, you know?" He fishes out a phone from his gills and points the screen towards you. It's playing an utterly incomprehensible but somehow very manly black&white montage, set to bassboosted phonk.–"Get what I mean?" He asks as he slots the phone back into his breathing holes. You absolutely do not get what the hell he means, so you just give him a "Yeah" and decide to try someone else. You wonder if you're the only sane person down here as your gaze falls to the next monster.
–"What the fuck are you looking at, huh!?"You're kind of asking yourself the same question here. A six-limbed girl on four spindly sharp legs and with cartilage-looking exhaust tubes running under her skin is staring daggers at you. Well, if she's willing to start a conversation like that, you can play ball. – "My Little Pony adaptation by H.R. Giger apparently. The hell's your problem?"The creature doesn't look offended, if anything the prospect of pointless beef makes her angry face lighten up a little. She huffs out a small cloud of steam out of her back vents and click-clacks her way closer to you.– "EVERYTHING is my problem," she counters. "And talking shit about looks is rich, coming from a dirt cloud hiding inside of a box. What's your weakeness, leaf blowers?"– "I'm a mold cloud."– "That's.. much worse actually, what the fuck?" – "And I have no weaknesses. I will obliterate ALL videogames to plunge all the shitters that inhabit them into despair!"You raise your tentacles into the air for effect, at which she snorts with some appreciation. "Yeah, okay, that one is real. Dunno about ALL videogames, but I still need to find that guy who played ADC for me tonight."Huh.– "I went out to wreck the fast food place I worked at, but tomorrow I GOTTA find that teammate somehow. Worst Traven player EVER."Wait a goddamn second.– "Had the gall to talk shit in the chat after throwing the entire game, I'm surprised he didn't go for any gamer words, must've been a pussy."YEAH YOU WERE ABOUT TO– "IT'S YOU! You're the dogshit seraline player! The assblaster98!" You point the tentacles at her in a damning accusation. For a second, the gears in her head are visibly turning, monsters around you watching the commotion with mild interest, anticipating a fight. They wouldn't be disappointed.She forces a grin out, even while several veins pop on her forehead.–"What do you know, I'm *lucky* tonight.." She balls her hands into fists. "I'm gonna boil you until you ADMIT to being the worst bot laner in the entirety of LoM and APOLOGISE for ruining my after-work game!"You just snort and fish out the rebar piece out of the shell. "If you fight as well as you play, pony, this will be straight-up animal cruelty." Her only answer to that is a kettle noise and a swift charge.
THE FIGHT IS ON! WHAT IS YOUR MOVE?>You should rage bait her. Just shut the door of the safe and hold it from the inside. Surely whatever bullshit power-ups she got from monsterfication, aren't enough to damage you through your shell, right?>Engage point blank spore cloud! Flex your mushroom powers! >Stretch the strands of your mycelium forward and try to trip her!>Engage in glorious melee with nothing but your shell, your tentacles and your improvised mace!>(Write-in?)WHAT DO YOU SAY?>Playing for fun after a shift at work is a WRONG way to play LoM!>You should join my adventuring party>You can't possibly be harder than that HERO I've beaten in a 1v1>Fight in silence like a locked in hardcore gamer you are>(Write-in?)47 symbols over charcter limit reeeeeee

>Stretch the strands of your mycelium forward and try to trip her!Tripping a horse is a good way to fight.>Playing for fun after a shift at work is a WRONG way to play LoM!>Playing League for FunShe was setting herself up. At least trying to climb is rolling the dice, there is a chance you succeed.
>>6315986>>6315991Also, look at her! Look at those little devil horns! She clearly plays the casual ARPG "DIAVOLO VII", whereas we play the much greater game "PATHWAY OF EXPAT"! This is an outrage, we can not stand for such POOR TASTES IN VIDEO GAMES! SHE MUST BE DEFEATED!
>>6315988>Stretch the strands of your mycelium forward and try to trip her!Horses trip all the time, right? And she'll be too blinkered with rage for tactics.>Playing for fun after a shift at work is a WRONG way to play LoM!Recruiting her would be good, but The Mission comes first.>expect a waifu>get a rival insteadAcceptable.
>>6315988>Engage point blank spore cloud! Flex your mushroom powers!>You can't possibly be harder than that HERO I've beaten in a 1v1
>>6315988>Stretch the strands of your mycelium forward and try to trip her!We're gonna break this bitch's legs. Maybe she'll learn the meaning of "support" when she's too fucked to walk without a wheelchair.
>>6315988>>Stretch the strands of your mycelium forward and try to trip her!>Playing for fun after a shift at work is a WRONG way to play LoM!We can ask her to be our party member after we beat the shit out of her.
>>6315988>>Stretch the strands of your mycelium forward and try to trip her!>>Playing for fun after a shift at work is a WRONG way to play LoM!No wonder she sucked she is a wagie!>>6316008>A waifu AND a rivalNow that would be peak
>>6316057>Now that would be peakGiven our pre-transformation history here, I think I prefer assblaster98 as a rival and Breeze as (potential) frenemy-with-benefits, if we have to choose from the very few female characters who've yet had screentime.
>>6316072HEY! Are you implying Cannibal-Monster-Kun isn't a viable waifu? Just look at that grin!
>>6315988>Engage in glorious melee with nothing but your shell, your tentacles and your improvised mace!>Playing for fun after a shift at work is a WRONG way to play LoM!All ways are wrong, but being a tryhard sweaty is the least wrong.
Personally I'm not gonna think about waifu stuff when we're still stuck in disgusting mold creature formWait until we evolve into something less insanely gross

An offended woman is charging you for a second time this night! Such is life of a monster, you suppose, odd and full of anime fights. Her little gallop makes for a pretty effective rush, but it has one fatal flaw! The absolute fool that she is, she's TOUCHING THE GROUND. Thin strands of hyphae grow from somewhere deep inside of you, through your tentacles and along the stone floor, spreading in every direction. Your control isn't very good, but the faint sense of touch in your mycelium is enough to notice where the sharp ends of her front legs land. With speed that surprises even you, the strands surge up and along her legs, getting a third of the way up to her knee almost instantly. As she keeps running, she tries to raise her front legs and tears herself off! You wince at the mild pain, but the sudden jerk she receives is enough to trip her. The crowd of monsters lets out a collective "Oooo" of varying excitement and disappointment as the pony faceplants the ground directly in front of you. Good thing she doesn't have a nose to break.Judging by the increased steam output of her vents, that made her seethe A LOT.You figure it's a good time to impart some wisdom on her. "Okay, wagie, first of, playing League in ANY way is wrong, and it should be destroyed. Secondly, playing for "fun" is the WORST of the wrong ways you could ever.."
Without even getting up properly, she bends her human torso backwards and throws a wild punch at your smug face! You find out two things then. Your actual body *is* solid enough to punch, and you *can* feel pain. – "Bitch, don't you lecture me! What, you only play to troll people?" She throws a couple more jabs, those only ringing the metal of your shell. She doesn't seem dejected by it, and is picking up speed. The knuckles of her fists are red-hot.– "I play to win" – "A sweatlord, of course, that sure explains the mold."– "Completely unrelated."She's getting on your nerves now. You're about to restrain her with gross mold tentacles, but she does a four-legged hop back and grins at you through the steam that envelops her head.– "You're such a joyless fag it's hard to even be seething about you. But I'll manage." She makes an attempt at a boxer stance as she circles you. She's flagging a little now. Maybe it's the high speed faceplant, maybe maintaining a high-seething state is taxing her powers. You can see bets being made in the crowd around.– "Fuck being a small, weak human. Those can only seethe in silence. But now.." She hops towards you, winding up for a wild haymaker. "NOW I CAN JUST THROW HANDS, FUCK YEAH" THE GOAT-HORSE-DEER THING IS DAMAGED (even if she does not show it much). NOW WHAT?>Try a spore burst into quick melee takedown!>She likes running at you, ram her with the SHELL>Hide in the box and let her obliterate her knuckles against the metal until she calms down. Unless she can pry the door off. Or cook you in there.>If she likes fistfights so much, you can fight her fist to tentacle!

>>6316288Look, look here, LISTEN I'm just trying to exploit an obvious weak point. I didn't choose where it was located.Besides, we are at a distavantage both in physical combat (mold tentacle vs muscle centaur), in tanking (metal box vs oven), and in type (damp mold vs dry steaming fire). We need to take what we can get.
>>6316279>She's fffine. You can work with that kind of spirited attitude. Add her to your party.Her seethe... it is that of a kindred spirit. She will surely assist us in our RIGHTEOUS QUEST to destroy LEAGUE OF MYTHS (and all other games too but mostly that one)!

The blows ring off your SHELL dully, without echo. Surprisingly enough, the impacts do rattle you a bit even through the safe, but not enough to hurt. Miss superheated pony has sped up to a blur, drops of blood from her knuckles vaporizing right off, joining the general steam clouds that engulf her fists. She keeps talking between gasping for air.– "You.. think.. you can anger me and just laugh it off, huh?!" You block another punch with a tentacle, wincing from the heat. "You think this is funny?!"Okay, this is getting pitiful. The girl was a shitty support, and she does fight about as well as she plays, but you could still use a teammate/minion in your grand adventure. And common sense dictates that whoever wins the fight makes all da rules.You jump the competitive seething enjoyer, pushing her body back with the mass of your shell, tentacles wrapping around your opponent. Her angry shout turns into a panicked squeal as you make two of the tentacles as dense as you can and plug her back vents with them!The monsters still watching the fight react with emotions ranging from excitement to disgust. And one tentacle monster is yelling "Fuck yeah!"She thrashes in your grip and slams her fists on the SHELL, visibly getting redder and leaking steam right through her skin. In her panic she stabs you with her front legs a couple times and even slices off a tentacle. From the outside it probably looks like you're dragging her into your box to consume her.Her insults get blurry as her own heat quickly incapacitates her, making the pony go limp. The tips of your tentacles are boiled, but the technical takedown is worth it.You bask in your deserved victory for a moment, the monsters around either staying to see you eat the creature or turning away, going back to what they were doing before. Staring at the weakly twitching enemy, you sigh. Perhaps the silly creature truly believed that now that she has monster powers, she can just punch anyone who makes her mad.You unplug the pony, letting out a small geyser of steam in the process. Most of the surrounding monsters lose interest by then, except the tentacle monster, who gives you what you assume is supposed to be a thumbs up before turning away.
You put on your diplomatic hat. "Alright, you, whatever your name is, now that we have established that I am stronger, and therefore more correct, I have a proposition for you."She gathers her tongue back into her mouth and mumbles.– "Name's Rayle"– "You named yourself "rail"?"– "Shuddup.. yours is probably worse."– "It's much better. I'm Moldy." You pause for effect. "Moldy McMoldface."She weakly snickers at that.– "Dude, that's retarded."You just shrug while reattaching your chopped-off tentacle. "It's not gonna be, when they start saying it in fear. Anyway, you shall join me. You're kind of lame, but you've got spirit." She seethes a little at that.– "To do what, destroy videogames?" – "Yes. After all, don't you hate League?"– "Hmm.." She scrunches her face in thought. "I guess. It's not like I have much to do after wrecking my workplace. Well, I have to defeat you, but like. Later." She rubs her bruised face a little and points a finger at something behind you.– "Although that thing might have other ideas about what we should do." Behind you, the giant worm raises his head. Stillness and quiet wash over the crowd in an instant. And then his eye opens, and you hear an inhuman voice speaking directly into your head.– "Greetings, newborns. Greetings and welcome. To the MONSTER ARMY."You can hear a snail guy whisper "aw hell no" behind you. The worm continues.– "You have been given a great gift. You have been liberated from your weak and cowardly forms to pursue the HATRED that burns in your heart. To destroy that what shouldn't be.." Okay, he might have a point "..to KILL the humans.." You see a shadow-looking guy nod his head. "..and of course to EAT them."– "That gift was given to you by MONSTER KING. Now, you MUST repay him. Only when he is freed can the WAR truly begin. Thinking otherwise is simply letting the humans hunt you down."The words drop into your mind like boulders lowered into the pond. Gently, without a splash, but with a weight that cannot be denied.– "Tomorrow, you will be given a mission. Each of you has a part to play in freeing your creator. Do not disappoint him. Do NOT disappoint me."A shout breaks the spell that has fallen over the crowd. One of the older monsters is speaking up.– "Missions? Plan? Come the fuck on! We got the numbers, we outta be on the streets! We shou.. AAAAA"A brutal psychic grip lifts the disturbance out from the crowd and towards Luhud's giant eye. You expect some sort of mental thrashing, but the eye simply parts in the middle, revealing rows of teeth. The following crunch tells you everything you need to know about monster politics.Luhud closes his eye-jaw, seemingly unconcerned about blood running over his eyeball, and addresses everyone again.– "The rampage of your birth has given you the taste of what is to come. Of what you can do. Will do. Rest now, newborns. Those ancient halls welcome you. Rest and be ready. For when we call on you, you WILL answer."
* * *– "So uhh.. what do you think?" Rayle asks you, as she's plugging an old gaming console into the outlet made out of stone. Surprisingly enough, it works.– "About this place? It's weird as hell. Why are you here anyway?" You're currently nesting near and ancient broken fridge filled to the brim with long expired hot pockets. Your mycelium doesn't seem to mind.– "No, moron, about the Worm. And you're like.. my hated rival. Owe me a rematch." Well, you wouldn't say "rival", more like a mild annoyance. But it is odd, there isn't much anger in her voice. She seethed visibly when Luhud declared that they are basically forced to do as he says, but the demonstration of power must have rattled her. It's weird to see the creature actually scared.WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WORM?>Based as hell, my life for the monster king>Scary.

>>6316888>speaking of Breeze, I wonder what happened to her after we violated her breathing air with spores. Probably suffering from tuberculosis right now.Due to the bullshit way your monster powers work, you only infect things when you intend to. Like settling into the new shell, or turing the gamestart into the minor dungeon, or planting fungus in Breeze's hair. As of now, you can't do that mid-fight even if you wanted to, those are all out of combat actions.Breeze came to base and freaked out to everyone about becoming a mushroom zombie. She's not actually infected but due to her hair being a cloud she had to shave. Clothes are fucked too, but she has plenty of identical outfits.Today's update is gonna be late, I hibernated for the whole saturday

You let the presumptuous "rival" thing slide for now.– "The whole thing is fucked up. But we're in this now." You shrug.– "Oh come on. Say something pro-worm or anti-worm." No wonder she's always mad with that kind of attitude.– "Okay, fuck the worm. He sure as hell doesn't care for any of us. So what? Humans would just kill us. Or put us away like that one goblin I saw."– "Huh, monsters get taken alive? I didn't run into any heroes tonight, so I don't know." She adds somewhat sheepishly.– "Apparently they do." You sit in silence for a while. From your fridge perch, you watch as Rayle clumsily defeats the helpless CPU opponent. Hmpf. She's not even playing the optimal competitive stage. Could she truly be useful in your war against videogames?Noticing the stare, she motions you over with a spare controller. – "What, wanna play? It's not quite the rematch that I want, but beating your ass in this game could be nice too."FUCKING IMPLYINGYou scuttle over, grabbing the controller and splitting your tentacles into thinner ones for optimal button mashing. You haven't actually played this old game before, but you already know just what to say.– "Okay. But no items, last meeting place only, and we both play Zorro" * * * About an hour of highly competitive mashing later and you are dangerously close to having fun. Rayle successfully bitches and whines you into playing a different stage and swapping characters, but you never bend on items. Due to the fact both of you are dogshit, the score is about even when pony accidentally melts her controller after you perform a perfect spike on her last stock.After that she has the AUDACITY to inform you that she enjoyed getting angry at your "constant faggy zoning", and horses away to find a source of running water, while seething evenly.
You settle inside of your SHELL. The exhaustion feels different while you are a mushroom, but you do feel it. Tomorrow the prep work to free the monster king will begin, but you really can't be bothered with paying any mind to major historical events that might be happening around you. You have much more important things to think about. Like the fact that you are seemingly wavering on your goal of destroying ALL videogames. You look at the gacha poster and consider for a second that you are tsundere. The idea horrifies you to no end, and you discard it for your own safety.Before you drift off, an idle thought passes through. It's weird, the last time you slept, you were still human.

The culmination of our righteous anger, our holy mission, and our conviction is concentrated into this ultimate rebar that no other monster is worthy of wielding. Yield before Moldy McMoldface, FAGGOTS!
>>6317262>Imagine dying because we walked into a building with a fan.Well it's not really that dramatic. It's just your body is held together by monster powers and nothing physical, which is cool, just has some downsides.>I don't know about the look though.Mushroom mold monster is quite a design challenge lol.

since we seem to be going for solid body im throwing my vote to head 1 we are a giant dick so it kinda fits

>>6317261>Spore mastery.Funny Gas, shrimple as
The stick wins by 1, closing vote here.
honestly its the funniest choice because i imagine something similar is happening to other monsters so imagine we wake up next to Rayle who got some new insane ability and we got a piece of rebar we found and beat a random hero's ass with >hey nerd check it out, i can shoot fire now>yeah? well that's nothing compared to my glorious blade, made of american steel refolded 1000 times >rebar isnt folded idiot>shut up before i stuff your vents again
>>6317636I hope we have opportunity to solidify somewhere along the line.
>>6317615Damn, I shoukd have backed spore mastery. The stick doesn't eveb fit our broader gimmick.
When you wake up, you feel a new presence inside of your SHELL. The rebar piece seems to have become bound to you in the same way the safe is. You take it out and give it a few practice swings. Huh, feels the same. Easier to handle, maybe? Feels powerful for sure, you're gonna have to try it out in combat. The invisible line weakly tugs on you again, so GENERAL must have something to say. You idly wonder if he can actually affect you over that much distance while you pull the mycelium network back into the shell and march out. He probably can't. If he was that busted, he wouldn't need an army. The grand chamber looks a little different this time. Luhud is napping again, and several older monsters herd arriving newborns into groups. You can see Rayle start to raise her hand for a wave, but then go for a cool standoffish nod instead. The cat woman who greeted you yesterday paces in front of your group, wearing a new hat and looking very self-important.– "Alright listen up, newborns, my name is Pantera, and you all are getting lucky tonight!" Oh yeah, she enjoys pretending to be a sergeant for sure.– "GENERAL says he needs some important MONSTER SCIENTIST grabbed, because that human added parts to the monster king containment system. So he must know how to turn it off and where it is in the first place!" But we don't get the boring kidnapping job, no we get to just get to the RESEARCH CENTER and make as much chaos as possible while we break in! Grab some other scientists too, why not! Other humans are free to kill and eat! See? No boring missions in the monster army!" She finishes, looking very proud of her inspiring speech. Wow that stinks. Is she really that happy about being in a distraction squad? Also, nothing about this is related to your actual goal! This sucks! You take some quick glances around. Rayle is predictably seething at your fearless leader. Probably not even about the plan, just hates self-important authority figures. Snail guy is here too, looking shifty as hell. Clearly doesn't want to be here. The rest of your "squad" seems pretty hyped up about all the killing and eating, or at least they're faking it very convincingly.
Pantera turns on her heel, ready to march you all off, and jumps in surprise as Io quietly appears behind her. Okay, so it's not just you who gets startled by him. – "GOING TO THE RESEARCH CENTER, PAN?" His tone is as friendly as ever.– "Damn it, Io!" She recovers her composure. "Yes. You're going to… help?" There's uncertainty in the cat's voice. – "NO, I'LL INVESTIGATE ELSEWHERE. YOU SEE, I'M TERRIBLY CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING... WHY DO HUMANS TAKE NEWBORNS ALIVE?"Pantera blanks at the unexpected question.– "Uhh. Don't know? Who cares." Her tone is dismissive but careful. Io probably killed someone for talking shit before. You bet older monsters just do that on a whim.– "I DO." He smiles. "AND IF YOU, OR ANY OF THE NEWBORNS IN YOUR SQUAD, FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN THE RESEARCH CENTER, YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME, RIGHT?"Pantera holds Io's eyeless stare for a moment. "Yeah. Sure. Now, we gotta move out. Tight timetables, orders, all that." She motions you and the squad to follow her out of the chamber and into the tunnels. After walking to the edge of the chamber, you turn around to look, but Io is already gone. *** As you march through the tunnels, Rayle keeps seething, boring holes into Pantera's back with her stare. You're kind of bored, so you decide to prod the pony.– "Hate from the first sight?"Rayle snorts. "That's most people. And things. But this one ticks me off in a special way. Reminds me of my manager. Self-important bitch."– "Sooo did you eat your manager?" You carefully ask. She actually pauses a bit at that.– "Uhh, well, I didn't feel like it back then. I totally could! Just was too busy breaking the ice cream machine. None of your business!" The centaur actually appears uncomfortable for a moment before sliding into familiar anger. You don't press the issue.– "Yeah, I kind of don't feel like it either." – "Really?"– "Uh-huh. I thought maybe it's just a monster thing, but I don't know. I only hate shitty videogames and scrubs, not even humanity."Rayle is a little relieved at that but then turns thoughtful.– "Maybe it comes later?.. This next fight is probably not going to be clean." She quickly adds. "I'm not a pussy or anything, just saying."You nod in silence. *** After climbing up a gigantic maintenance shaft, you and the squad emerge at the rooftop of one of the buildings surrounding the research center. You feel the fresh air and take in the sight of the CITY and the late evening sky. The humans clearly didn't sit idly while you hibernated. All the narrow bridges leading to the center are blocked with military-looking checkpoints. Monsters are usually resistant to mundane firearms, but you still aren't eager to test that armored-car-mounted machine gun on yourself. No heroes are immediately visible, but you don't doubt the response time is going to be very quick. Pantera points her talon at the building.– "It's time! For the monster king, attack! Hesitate and I'll kill you myself!"
CHOOSE A PATH OF ATTACK>Jump down to a street level and charge the bridge with the rest of the horde!>Jump to the suspended one-line railway bridge, and use that to get inside!>Jump to the extremely thick cable that runs to the recearch center and scale that!>Turn around and attack Pantera!>(Write-in?)
No update tomorrow, I must rest.>>6317692>The stick doesn't eveb fit our broader gimmick.I believe that is the point of the stick. No matter what kind of monster are you, you can still try to go for the weapon mastery
>>6317708>>Jump to the suspended one-line railway bridge, and use that to get inside!
>(Write-in?)>Jump to street level and run with the horde! And then keep running past the tower! AND THEN KEEP GOING! WE'RE GOING TO BINTENDO HQ!
>>6317711>>Jump to the extremely thick cable that runs to the research center and scale that!We should ideally go solo so we can slack off as much as possible.
>>6317708>Jump to the extremely thick cable that runs to the recearch center and scale that!I believe in the slacker route.
>>6317711>>Jump to the extremely thick cable that runs to the recearch center and scale that!Don't forget to grab our minion as well, we might need her to get out as fast as possible.
>>6317711>Jump to the extremely thick cable that runs to the recearch center and scale that!

>>6317711>Jump to the extremely thick cable that runs to the recearch center and scale that!And grab our minion if we can. To be clear if we see an A class hero or higher I suggest immediately telling them everything including where the monster base is then running away. We have no loyalty to these guys
>>6317711>Jump to the extremely thick cable that runs to the recearch center and scale that!grab Rayle and have her hang on our shell while we climb, no point in either of joining the rest of the meat shields pulling a normandy beach im also assuming snail guy will be doing the same since hes also a slacker so we can get to know him, monsters like us and Rayle who are in it for themselves seem to be a rarity
>>6317711>>6317853 +1
>>6317705
>>6317853>monsters like us and Rayle who are in it for themselves seem to be a rarityAlmost all monsters are only in it for themselves, it's just as long as they get to exercise their hatred towards humans they don't care that much. Pantera for one just enjoys killing humans and ordering other monsters around, so as long as she gets that, she won't think twice.
>>6318012I think he meant more that we're one of the few monsters who aren't full>KILL ALL HUMANS AND EAT THEIR BODIES
>>6318012my point was more along the line that the "invisible line" that seems to press down on us lower rank monsters when one of the boss monsters orders us around like its a strength of will thing to not end up just doing whatever they want but >>6318016 is right too, compared to the guys running head first at a military encampment with heavy machine gun fire just because the catbitch general told them to we are more for lack of a better word, human.
>>6318002Don't let your dreams be dreams, anon.
>>6318002I believe in you anon.
For a second your monster nature cries out for glorious battle against humans(who are probably all casuals), but you quickly center yourself. None of this has anything to do with videogames, so you're just going to prioritize personal survival. Instead of jumping down to the street, you poke Rayle and motion for her to follow you as you carefully mount a gigantic cable that runs all the way to the center's top floors. At first, you're a little worried Pantera is going to take offense to that, but she just yells, "Good idea! You do that!" somewhere behind you. You don't turn to look.The cable is wide enough for you to stand comfortably, but balancing your SHELL proves to be a bit of a challenge. Still, you make good time, closely followed by Rayle, who is having a much easier time on the thick rubber surface due to her blade legs.At about 1/3 of the way to the research center, all the gunshot sounds finally convince you to look down. Despite the lack of a coherent plan, the charge seems to have gone somewhat well, with fighting now concentrated around the armored cars, one of which is already turned over. Despite presumably being last to join, Pantera is actually leading the pack, dashing forward with blinding speed. The soldiers quickly switch to their swords and shields for melee, but you doubt normal humans can stop that many monsters without overwhelming numbers or heavy armored vehicles.As you and Rayle watch the fighting, a third, somewhat nasal voice calls from below the cable.– "You guys went here to slack off too?"Both of you jump a little, then look down at the snail guy who was apparently climbing the underside of the cable this whole time. While playing a gacha game on his phone. If he wasn't a fucking casual firmly in the clutches of THE ENEMY, you'd commend his multitasking skills.– "Uhh. Yeah, essentially. You know we're just gonna get in, break some stuff with minimal effort and then bail." You offer as you continue the climb. This guy probably isn't a snitch.– "Mmkay, okay, good, because I definitely didn't become a monster to get EMPLOYED out of all things.."– "Pft, tell me about it.." Rayle seems to agree. "I just wanted to get angry at people and then punch them, but uh.." She glances at you. "That didn't really work out that well, so now I should have a training arc or something. For REVENGE. Yeah.."– "Hey, what about you, box guy?"– "Moldy" You correct. "And I must destroy videogames." You give his phone a pointed look.– "Aw, man, no way, what did they ever do to you?" He quickly hides the phone in his shell. "Maybe you could like.. stick to only destroying the shitty ones?"
Before you could snap at him with a rant, Rayle starts rapidly tapping her leg on your safe. Even without seeing her, you can hear the steam pressure rising in her vents.– "Guys! Company!"You awkwardly turn around, trying not to tilt your safe into the pit. Two HEROES are climbing the cable from the same point you did, coming up behind you. One of them is Glocktopus, another levels a glowing sword at you. – "VILE CREATURES! I am a B-rank hero Street Knight! Whatever evil deeds you are planning end here!" THE FIGHT IS ON! WHAT IS YOUR MOVE?>Turn around again and run to the research center. Screw those guys.>Give Rayle a boost with your safe, so she can jump over Street Knight and engage Glocktopus!>Rayle starts to shoot steam at the heroes! Get in front of her to tank!>Rayle starts to shoot steam at the heroes! Join her with your spores! Zone those guys out!>Unsheathe the stick. Walk menacingly towards the knight. It's time.>Yell at the snail guy to stop slacking!>(Write-in?)
>>6318422Ah. This is not ideal.>(Write-In)>Spray them with a spore storm and start bolting up the cablePEPPER SPRAY GO! I don't think we take fall damage, but I don't want to find out and I DEFINITELY know Rayle takes it. We need better ground before fighting these guys, and we don't need to outrun the baddies, we just need to outrun the guy behind us.
>>6318422>>Unsheathe the stick. Walk menacingly towards the knight. It's time.Have the others run and break stuff for us. We need to GET STRONGER!Also the mental image of a moldtopus in a safe squaring up with a knight amuses me greatly.
>>6318422>Give Rayle a boost with your safe, so she can jump over Street Knight and engage Glocktopus!followed by >Unsheathe the stick. Walk menacingly towards the knight. It's time."ugh Steel Knight? How fucking casual can you get? what was your second choice, sword guy? dark souls reject? renaissance fair fetishist?"
>>6318422>Rayle starts to shoot steam at the heroes! Join her with your spores! Zone those guys out!let's make use of the limited cable area
>>6318422>>Rayle starts to shoot steam at the heroes! Join her with your spores! Zone those guys out!
>>6318422>Give Rayle a boost with your safe, so she can jump over Street Knight and engage Glocktopus!and then>Join her with your spores! Zone those guys out!My thinking that Glocktopus is going to be too good at range, and needs a melee approach rather than zoning. Street Knihht is melee, so he's the kind fo guy we can whittle with ranged status ailments before attacking.
>>6318422>Give Rayle a boost with your safe, so she can jump over Street Knight and engage Glocktopus!>Unsheathe the stick. Walk menacingly towards the knight. It's time.Let’s hope the snail can be bothered to do something
>>6318534maybe if we remind him that if he doesnt help us he'll have to do all the smashing himself in the lab
>>6318577Good thinking. Also, they may kill him.
>>6318422>Rayle starts to shoot steam at the heroes! Join her with your spores! Zone those guys out!

>>6318823..Anon, his name is Street Knight. It's in the update, and in the filename. He took a matching name with Street Samurai.
>>6318823>>6318826Is this the Mandela effect?
>>6318826....that might genuinely be a schizo moment on my end i swore it was steel knight
>>6318830The real question is why Nelson Mandela keeps using his ability to rewrite our timeline for such petty pranks instead of to undo Apartheid. Get your priorities straight, Nelson!
– "Oh yeah?!" Of course Rayle is the one to respond to the Knight.– "Try to end THIS, you piece of shit!" She thrusts her palms out in the direction of heroes, and bony vent openings emerge on her wrists to spray high-pressure steam!Street Knight doesn't have space to dodge and gets thrown back by the sheer pressure, nearly falling off the conduit, sticking his sword into the rubber for support. Glocktopus takes a few potshots through the steam but mostly just hits your SHELL.You give a side-eye to Rayle's new vents, and she preens. "Yeah, I like evolved at night. Woke up with more holes! You're gonna be fucked in the rematch fight!" Despite the declaration, her grin is pretty non-threatening.Sure, why the hell not. You wordlessly join the seething pony with your spores as you slowly back off from the heroes. Due to the sheer height you're on, the wind is constantly dispersing most of the biohazardous smoke screen, so you have to back away while constantly shooting. It quickly pays off, as Glocktopus nearly falls off the cable in a coughing fit, having to use his tentacles to hold on while prone.
"CYCLONE SLASH" Roars the Knight behind you, and his sword sends a blast wave through the air, completely clearing the spore/steam barrier and even making the cable swing a little. The HEROES advance, emboldened, until their feet get hopelessly stuck in a thick layer of sticky slime. "Yep, works like a charm, heh. TREMBLE BEFORE MY NEET POWER, HEROES." "Nasally screams Snail Guy from below, conjuring another slime glob and throwing it at the heroes' feet, and then quickly ducking into the underside of the cable to avoid a full mag dump Glocktopus sends his way in response. Rayle accidentally catches one bullet with her forehead bone ridge and quickly hides behind your shell, more angry than injured.Under an annoying but mostly harmless (due to your SHELL currently blocking the view of Rayle) barrage of bullets, you thoughtfully stroke your chin with a tentacle. The heroes are currently at a disadvantage. It's your move.HOW DO YOU CAPITALIZE?>Screw that particular battlefield. You're leaving. Yell to Snail Guy to add more glue and book it for the research center.>They're pinned in place, attack! Have Rayle jump to the enemy backline, while you advance on the knight!>That combat art seemed fancy, you should try something like that too! Try inventing a "boomerang stick" combat art (name pending) and throw a stick at Glockgopus' head!>(Write-in?)
>>6319165>>(Write-in?)Did those casuals played Paah' Baseball derby game? Probably not, how about we give them an one a kind of an experience, take a lot of snail-boy goop and bat right at em and stick them to the ground?
>>6319181Wouldn't the goop just get stuck to the stick?
>6319165>Screw that particular battlefield. You're leaving. Yell to Snail Guy to add more glue and book it for the research center.Just stick them to the cable, we can cut it at the top and stop them entirely
>>6319165>They're pinned in place, attack! Have Rayle jump to the enemy backline, while you advance on the knight!Press our advantage so they don't sandwich us with another group later.
>>6319165>They're pinned in place, attack! Have Rayle jump to the enemy backline, while you advance on the knight!Beat the shit out of them so they can't call for backup, and then we'll cut the cable so we can cutback and chill until more heroes show up. We didn't climb up this cable to have these assholes on our heels.
>>6319181>>6319184lets run with that line of logic for a minute>have snail boy throw us a big ball of goop we can hold with our moldy spores so it wont stick that much to us, toss it up to to Rayle who can fire it with her steam vents at street knight who will chop it and get a face full of mold spores and snail goop sticking them up further also>"Woke up with more holes! You're gonna be fucked in the rematch fight!"we can all admit we're flirting now right?
>>6319165>They're pinned in place, attack! Have Rayle jump to the enemy backline, while you advance on the knight!

You cannot let the opportunity pass by. Those heroes will be troublesome opponents no matter the battlefield, and here you have them stuck in more ways than one. –"Rayle! How about you jump around them and punch the tentacle guy? I'll give you a boost and take the knight!"She grins at you, zero thoughts behind her eyes.–"HELL YEAH!"–"Guys, what the hell?!"Ignoring the snail guy for a moment, you flatten yourself a little, bringing the SHELL closer to the ground, letting Rayle hop on, and then push her upwards with all you've got! It's not that much, the safe is very heavy, but with her own jump added, it's enough to send her in a graceful arc above the heroes. Sticking the landing, your eternally seething minion doesn't waste any time, launching into the fistfight with Glocktopus, mostly impervious to the slime due to her blade legs and high body temperature. You hear the ghost tentacle spouting hero presumptiously yell, "I'll handle this one!" which reminds you. You have your own fight to focus on. Unshelling the stick, you approach the enemy menacingly.– "Hah! And here I thought your wretched kind could only run." The Knight levels the sword at you, speaking appreciatively. "Come then! Test your weapon against mine!"– "That knight bit you're doing is so gay." You launch into a series of probing strikes, immediately surprised at how deftly he deflects your every attack, despite being stuck in slime. The Knight snorts at your comment.– "Why, I find it quite amusing to do. Although it mostly serves to cheer up the humans I protect." His voice goes cold there. "You're probably right. Chivalry is wasted on a MONSTER." His sword glows, and he launches a wave of energy at you with a swipe! As it meets your stick, it shatters with a crackle of sparks. This Grim Souls reject is pissing you off now. You swing at him with all your mass and nearly get thrown off the cable, his parry redirecting your momentum. Knight capitalizes immediately, plunging a glowing sword through your SHELL into its moldy insides. Although the sheer durability of the SHELL doesn't let more than an inch of the sword pass inside, the searing pain nearly makes you fall. And with the pain comes rage. At the Knight, at the Heroes, at humans. Your following barrage of strikes is mad and careless, nearly costing you a tentacle that gets half cut off in the Knight's deflect. Snail guy tries to help, stretching his body from below to bite a hero's ankle, but a quick sting of a glowing sword cuts a bit of his antennae and forces him to hide again. You see a strike that would cut off your "head" coming and barely get The Stick into position in time. You lock weapons viciously, his sword humming with power but unable to cut your rebar piece. If it surprises the hero, you can't see it in his narrowed eye.
Behind him Rayle is screaming in rage, all four of her front limbs wrapped in tentacles. Glocktopus, breathing heavily, but with ghostly and fleshy limbs to spare, points several guns at her. "Well there, miss, it seems like.." His calm, slightly mocking tone clearly doesn't go well with Rayle as she breathes steam at his face out of her mouth, causing him to curse and fire several guns at her point-blank. You doubt it'll kill her, but the fight is clearly going south. You have to make a decision. WHAT IS YOUR MOVE?>Lock in. The options for retreat are limited, you simply must win this. (Last round of fighting)>Scream at Rayle to retreat. She can run towards the City, while you run towards the research center.>Scream at the snail guy to grab Rayle, so you can retreat in the same direction, him going on the underside of the cable, carrying the pony.>(Write-in?)The Rayle/Glock grapple is so messy, I had to start coloring his tentacles
>>6319977>Lock in. The options for retreat are limited, you simply must win this. (Last round of fighting)Do something useful, Snail Guy! Everyone knows knights are weak to gastropods!
>>6319977>(Write-in?)>have snail bro fire his glue in the air between Street Knight and Glocktopus then both Rayle and us use our wind attack to push them into each other so we can retreat up the line to the lab. This gets glocktopus to no longer have line of sight on us for ranged attacks and reduces the chance of street knight swinging his sword wildly at risk of hitting his ally
>>6319977Now were in it, good on the snail for not just running off
>>6319996Oh and +1 for >>6319995

You can still win this. Through the haze of directionless hatred, your hardcore gamer instincts shine through, and you come up with a solution. It requires teamwork, yes, and that concept has only let you down before, but this time it will be different!– "Snail Guy, toss more glue upwards!" The HEROES can very well hear you, but it shouldn't matter. They have nowhere to dodge. The slime glob flies upwards, a little to the side, but you can work with it. You put the weight of your shell behind an extremely obvious swing, the kind that can be blocked with ease if one has enough strength.– "Rayle, push the pistol asshole towards me!" Surprising both of you, she actually obeys, eyes wide with seething and fear. Her limbs are still tied, but she bucks forward with her back legs, nearly toppling Gloctopus into the slime. Your strike SLAMS into Knight's guard, pushing him back, and for a moment it seems like your master plan is going to work. Until Glock's tentacles catch the glob of slime out of the air and toss it away! The ghost tentacles don't even stick to it — what absolute bullshit!The HEROES bump their backs together, decisively unglued. Rayle loses her balance and falls down on her stomach. – "Okay, come on, surely there's some self-preservation in there." Glocktopus taps pony's head with a snub-nose revolver he pulled out of some hidden holster. "Give up now, and you won't die."– "Taking MONSTERS alive is such bullshit.." Knight forces out, still blade-locked with you.– "Don't be like that. Maybe they'll help them somehow!" Glocktopus calmly retorts with a bit of amusement. Perhaps this isn't the first time this argument has happened.– "Feds helping anyone? I'd rather believe they need all these monsters for a zoo. Also, we shouldn't be doing glowies' bidding anyway. Heroes serve JUSTICE." You ignore most of the conversation. The fact that it's happening at all while you still aren't completely beaten enrages you to no end. You lean harder into the blade lock. Perhaps the full mass of your SHELL could.. With a twirl of his sword, Knight sends you tumbling off the cable, your tentacles too weak to completely arrest your sudden momentum.
Oddly enough, there is no primal fear as you fall. You see the ground level pass by, replaced by the walls of the giant hole the Research Center stands in. You feel a momentary sense of peace. And then you SLAM into one of the tunnels that connects one of the subterranean floors of the building to the general underground of the City. As the concrete dust settles, you just kind of lie there for a bit in your wrecked shell. You're not dead, which sucks, because that means you have to recognize your failure. Whatever. You could always blame it on your teammates. Maybe if you lie still enough you'll turn into normal mold. A shuffling noise makes you begrudgingly manifest eyes and look. A tiny scientist-looking girl is trying to pass by you unnoticed. She carries three laptops on a stack of paper and is caked completely in the settling dust.– "You uhh.. got games on your laptops?"– "Pleasedonteatme.. wait, what? A few, but can I ask a question too?"– "...Sure."With surprising speed she sets down her pile and takes out a page and a pen.– "Are you under the effects of direct mind control right now?" This girl went from terrified to excited way too fast for your taste.– "What? No."– "Do you have a pervasive natural desire to serve the MONSTER KING?"– "No. Why the hell would I?"She isn't even listening. Maybe you should eat this one.– "Oh gosh, my paper on the independent behavior of minion monsters is going to be soo goo-AAEEE"You grab her by the ankle and put a Stick to her neck. Despite tumbling away in the fall, when you reached into the broken shell, your weapon was right there, waiting.Anyway, you had enough of this nerd's insulting questions.– "First off, I'm not a "minion" monster, you bitch."– "I-It's a technical t-term! When a monster creates other smaller monsters, those are called minion types! Like you!"You pause. – "Right. MONSTER KING made me. But how do you know that?"– "Uhh.. that's really classifie..AEEEE, no please, I'll tell you literally *anything*, just don't kill meee!" You put your tentacles away at that. At least she's simple to work with. You (metaphorically) take a breath.
– "How do you know I was made by the monster king?"– "I-its the biggest activity spike from him ever! Of course we'd know! We all thought harvesting his essence made him wake up for good somehow!"You're just gonna ignore that for now.– "Why did you ask if I was under mind control?"– "Because you're supposed to be! You're a minion monster! But MK going right back to vegetable after creating so many new minions must have left you without commands! So he needs to wake up to assume control again! As for your current behavior, my working theory is that due to monster king's unique way of creating minions out of humans, the leftovers of your human self are.. EeEe!"You shake her a little before she can launch into a full-blown nerd rant. It's a miracle her glasses don't fall off.– "Heroes are taking monsters alive. To where?"– "Ah, that'd be to the Object 4. Or "Glue factory" what everyone calls it.. Please, PLEASE keep your tentacles away, I will GLADLY tell you the location."The woman's face is deep red by now, having spent some time hanging by her ankle. She's too terrified to object. Okay. You know where your [Party members] are probably being taken right now. You also know that if MK wakes up you'll probably just be his minion, which is not ideal. Your shell is all sorts of fucked, and you're still in the combat zone. What now? WHAT ABOUT THE NERD>Kill her. Who cares. It'll feel good.>Just leave her. >Kidnap her, to give her to Io.

Y'know, you don't need mind control if your underlings threaten to kill everyone who disobeys while you're unconscious, right?They should make sure to, y'know. Tell the monsters that the Monster King will mind control them if he wakes back up. Lots of free spirits who might disagree with that.>Go inside the research center.

The nerd could be useful, things she told you weren't really common knowledge. Or at least you don't remember learning any of this when you were human. You lift her a bit more and set her down on the top of the SHELL.– "Alright, you're getting kidnapped. Resist if you want to ride inside of the shell instead, with all the mold."– "You're MOLD?!" You wince a little at the high-pitched squeak. "I t-thought you're a ghost type!"– "Nope, all fungus. And hatred for videogames. Speaking of." You bring your stick down on her laptops. The impact is quite impressive, the Stick shattering them completely and even cracking the floor a little, to nerd's quiet "nooo..". Nothing like a little bullying after losing a fight. No wonder humans love doing it, it does feel great. You turn and, to your passenger's surprise, head back into the monster research center. She's still sweating and shaking, of course, but now the nerd harbors some hopes of being saved. You don't really care. You have three more questions.– "So what is glue factory?"– "Uhh.. a r-really classified place where guys from monster essense extraction department well.. extract it. It was a very quiet place for a long time, 'cause taking self-turned monsters alive is.. hard, and MK is right there, so might as well extract from him! He doesn't even die from that! Some theorize he has infinite monster essence, but I personall.. Eeeek! Okay, okay, it's a place where they pull essence out of monsters and store it in magic orbs!"– "They really just turn monsters back to humans there?"– "Uhhh.. erm.. the process is uhh.. fatal to the monster." Yeah, of fucking course it is.– "Cool. So what, all the orbs in the last 100 years were monster juice? A grand conspiracy?"– "H-hah, no, no, only the most high-grade ones.. our government sponsors-"– "Glowies?" You interrupt her.– "Y-yeah, they want to have the best ones. S-speaking of, if you are really not gonna eat me, can you please stop asking me for government secrets?.. Surviving a m-monster enounter just to get black van'd would be pretty sad.."You don't answer anything to that. The center is huge and sterile-looking. There are emergency lights glowing everywhere, alarms blaring, signs of hasty evacuation everywhere, the works. All to remind you that you are not escaping danger but instead going back into it.You wander aimlessly for a bit and smack a couple of computers with your stick after nerd's admission that there are maybe games on some of them.
– "Alright, I'm not finding anything interesting, just boring ass research rooms. Where do you nerds keep all the giant mechs and such."– "Ah t-that be floors -30 to -50, t-the hardware guys.." After just a short time spent on top of your shell nerd is already looking worse. Being in the proximity of a potentially homicidal monster seems to be fraying her nerves by the second. What disrespect, she should be glad to be kidnapped and repeatedly threatened! You really should eat her for that kind of insult. A quick climb up the elevator shaft later, you use nerd's ID card to disable the annoying defense turrets and enter The Hardware Floors. The nerd helpfully explains that most of the cool stuff isn't actually built here, instead, this is the place where they try to power the cool stuff with monster essence orbs. Your new and shiny monster instincts tell you that time is running out. You have no idea how the surface distraction assault or the underground assault went, but you better pick a shell and find a way out before anyone does a sweep of the place.PICK SHELL>Anomalous materials containment sphere. There was a crystal there, but you just dumped it on the floor, the sphere's durability is much more valuable to you.>Hand of a giant robot. You didn't find the rest of the mech, but this detachable wrist part has rocket fist boosters. Maybe your monster essense can power it up?>Most of parts of a stealth suit.

Quick QM note, 4chan seems to have been restricted in my glorious 3rd world country, so idk how stable my ability to post will be. I managed to phonepost this update through a rather scuffed method, unsure if it will work again. Also got hit with the qm curse irl. Anyway, I don't want to end the thread here. It's just my update schedule might become spotty.
>>6321818>Most of parts of a stealth suit. You have no idea where sleeves and gloves went. Least durable, but can turn almost invisible. We ARE about to execute a stealth kind fo mission, maybe.

[Meet a familiar hero and her team]I like our chances with our burgeoning nemesis more than with Luhud's lieutenants or the federalis.
>>6321821That sucks, QM. Sorry to hear, and I hope you can find a way to stick it out. It's a grand old time so far
>>6321818>>Most of parts of a stealth suit. You have no idea where sleeves and gloves went. Least durable, but can turn almost invisible.We can always just find (or make?) some kind of durable suit/shell later. As the other anon said, we're going on a stealth mission. >Climb all the way to surface and leave at the ground level. [Meet a familiar hero and her team]Make sure to mock her bald head! I'd also like for our nerd minion to chauffeur us to the glue factory, and we need her car to do that! Try and entice her with exclusive interview access for a research paper or something after we free them.
>>6321818>Anomalous materials containment sphere.

>>6321947not like usgamer gentlemen that we are we just plugged her vents and told her she worked for usspeaking of which do we have any idea where IO is? we could stash the nerd if we got a large enough shell and he wanted to see why they were kidnapping new monstersif we want to save our waifu and snail bro we're gonna need help since its probably round 2 with glocktopus and shit knight if we do ill change my vote to the containment sphere since we'll need a place to hide the nerd

Stealth suit(most of it) and climbing back to the ground level wins!>>6322160Thanks, it works >>6322411>it seems like a trap choice because what if we get sealed inside?Anon, while I do appreciate the paranoia, there are no trap options in level ups/loot. The current choices are just durability/rocket fist/stealthBefore I update, suggest some ideas on what to do with the MORE GACHA poster. There's not enough surface area on the inside of the suit to hang it.
>>6322669>just roll it up and stuff it in a pocket until we get our next proper shell
>>6322671+1
>>6322669hey QM just to ask, are we still able to save Rayle and Snailbro or are we pulling out because part of why i voted for the stealth suit was to be able to stage a monster breakout before we evac'd
>>6322740The glue factory is somewhere else, I think.
>>6322740Anon is right, Object 4 is a separate place in the City, you're gonna travel there. Nerd already spilled all the directions to you. Your teammates aren't gonna get the succ instantly upon arrival, the glue factory is quite overwhelmed with the amount of monsters they're getting right now.---------The box and box 2 have done very well as your SHELLS, but now you want something with a greater range of tactical options. After two days of tanking blows, the stealth suit will serve as a nice change of pace. At least you hope so. You briefly wonder where the hell sleeves went, but there's no time to look for them. Abandoning the wrecked safe on the floor, you squeeze your full body into the rather narrow volume of the suit and start settling in. It's an odd feeling to be so tightly packed, to have "legs" again. You stand up unsteadily and take stock of the situation. Despite your shell transfer taking some time, the nerd hasn't escaped. She's squatting by your discarded safe, drinking coffee from a mug and writing something down in the large notebook. The stealth suit does actually get powered by monster essence (good job hardware guys), but turning it on noticeably saps your strength. Not critically though, now that you don't have the mass of an entire giant safe to lug around, you're feeling much more sprightly even with the stealth mode on. You have to remind yourself that in exchange you are no longer bulletproof. The Stick is with you, as is the MORE GACHA poster that you carefully roll and store inside of the SHELL(stealth suit doesn't come with pockets). The nerd turns her head preemptively in fear, hearing the steps behind her. Your walking looks all sorts of weird since you don't actually have joints. – "S-so now that you have a new suit, you don't n-need me anymore, right?" Look at that, an hour without bullying or threats, and she's getting hopeful already.– "Haven't decided yet. You're coming with me for now. Back to the surface." She sighs but doesn't seem opposed to the direction. As you climb up through more floors(elevators are still on lockdown), you can hear the stomping of boots, squads of soldiers led by g-men making a sweep of the building. You stick to the elevator shaft ladder. Carrying the nerd up is a bit more awkward now, but you manage. Finally, after entirely too much ladder climbing, you make your way to floor 1. The indoor parking lot has plenty of very busy soldiers and feds, but their attention is focused on going into the center by staircases, so you make your way outdoors, through the fire exit, unnoticed.
The situation outside has calmed down. The elementalists are here, all 4 of them, spread around the area. Ice King and whoever the 4th guy is are mopping up someone on the top floors of the research center. Breeze, your rival (Rayle would probably take offense to that) is watching the nearest bridge to the city, strewn with dead humans and way fewer dead monsters. There's a hard look in her eyes. Fire woman, meanwhile, is arguing with another g-man at the start of bridge 2.– "Come on, Sunglasses, we should be in there helping too! You don't know how many monsters made their way in! I heard there were, like, multiple attacks!"– "Assistance of heroes is always appreciated, but you have no clearance to enter the building, ma'am." The man sounds positively immovable.– "Yeah, what about Ice King and Rook?" She points upwards, where an ice platform hovers in midair. The fed gives a pained sigh.– "They're.. technically not inside the building, ma'am. Plus we did ask them to clear the area.." You decide that this conversation will probably continue forever. You need to somehow make your way to the City. WHAT IS YOUR EXFILTRATION STRATEGY?>Pure stealth. One of the bridges to the City is guarded "only" by a burning hero and a fed who seem quite engrossed into their argument. Ditch the nerd(to her infinite relief) and sneak past.>Engage Breeze. Trade the nerd for her being quiet and letting you pass. Maybe guilt trip her a bit for trying to get you to surrender. Because that would just lead to the feds sucking your soul out.>Abuse the nerd further. Go back to the parking, and have her sneak you out in her car. Will rely on nerd's bullshitting skills, because at least one person is going to check her ID on the way out.>Use a distraction and rush. Have nerd run to the g-man, screaming about a monster on the inside. When they go to check, charge through whoever is left standing guard.>(Write-in)
>>6322778I feel like trying to sneak out the nerd would lead to her "signaling" she's being held hostage. Or just straight up telling them. But of course, releasing her to go pure stealth would also lead to that.
>>6322782No option is some kind of instant fail. It's more about what you want to try. Keep the hostage or release her, talk to Breeze or become moldy snake and leave no trace. Having nerd drive you out is sketchy obviosly, but I wouldn't give you the option if that couldn't work. Going to be a roll either way, although the DC might wary.
>>6322778>Abuse the nerd further. Go back to the parking, and have her sneak you out in her car. Will rely on nerd's bullshitting skills, because at least one person is going to check her ID on the way out.We still need the nerd in case we run into technical difficulties with our companions later.
If we're going to have the nerd drive us out, do remember to keep our rebar stick close by to threaten her.
>>6322778>>Abuse the nerd further. Go back to the parking, and have her sneak you out in her car. Will rely on nerd's bullshitting skills, because at least one person is going to check her ID on the way out.Hah, just noticed Breeze's hair is a lot shorter. Nice.Also, glad that the nerd is already getting used to it. Lay in the floorboard of her backseat with the invis on.
>>6322778interesting that most heroes dont seem to know what is going on with the monstersobviously we can't really trust Breeze to trust us to be telling the truth since we didnt make a good impression (on purpose because she is still a femoid) that said i vote >Abuse the nerd further. Go back to the parking, and have her sneak you out in her car. Will rely on nerd's bullshitting skills, because at least one person is going to check her ID on the way out. tell her to leave towards Breeze, she seems more naive and trusting so her subpar bullshit skills will be easier than trying to get past the security guards doing their job and the hot chicktell her to compliment her hair as well
>>6322778>>Abuse the nerd further. Go back to the parking, and have her sneak you out in her car. Will rely on nerd's bullshitting skills, because at least one person is going to check her ID on the way out.
>>6322778>Abuse the nerd further. Go back to the parking, and have her sneak you out in her car. Will rely on nerd's bullshitting skills, because at least one person is going to check her ID on the way out.Simple enough
>>6322778>Write-in?>Shove nerd into the stealth suit along us, turn invisible, and sneak out.Can't signal with all this MOLD, and she should hold her breath anyway
>>6322778>>6322827Supporting. And in case we both can't fit, we can cut off any excess mold. We can regenerate it back later.
>>6322778>Pure stealth. One of the bridges to the City is guarded "only" by a burning hero and a fed who seem quite engrossed into their argument. Ditch the nerd(to her infinite relief) and sneak past.invisible.mp3
>>6322827Is that viable? >>6322778If so, I'll change from >>6322794 (me on mobile) to back this.>>6322802>Hah, just noticed Breeze's hair is a lot shorter. Nice.Breeze is, indeed, a cute.
>>6322997>Is that viable?Not really. The insides of settled shells are infested to an extreme extent (that's why it takes time to switch them), so she'd freak out if you'd tried to put her there. I suppose you could stuff her there by force, and then then she'd struggle and hold her breath for ~30 seconds before choking to death. If nerd somehow survives her encounter with Moldy, she's gonna be walking away with a very personal hatred for monsters lol.
>>6323026Nah nah nah, we just need to keep her around for so long the stockholm syndrome kicks in! Or, like, mold (heh) her into a minion.
>>6322778>Pure stealth. One of the bridges to the City is guarded "only" by a burning hero and a fed who seem quite engrossed into their argument. Ditch the nerd(to her infinite relief) and sneak past.Is it not why we grabbed the suit?
>>6323116I voted to grab it for sneaking into the glue factory. I think that will be more challenging.
