https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#q77911557"Oh Esca clan, like Yulia, does make a lot of sense, hope you're enjoying the more northern areas, which funnily, are warmer I think?">She doesn't bring up anything regarding possible grievances "Might end up wandering over myself eventually, though my exploring hasn't brought me that far south much yet, world's a big place after all">Looking over at the pig"Well there's absolutely no way I can succeed here unless I shift back into my more natural form, but frankly that would be cheating, even with Mastema's influence it'd be hard for it to shake of something that small">Her eyes shift for a moment into a much more fae form before shifting back"Anycase, nice to meet you, going to give the other events a try as well? Pig racing should be fun">https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#q77913065>Alice laughs"Come now, everyone knows about snake mating balls""Grabbing onto that pig should be easy by comparison""Bet you're taking it home, try not to swallow it whole">The not quite pixie is forgetting she can't just dodge thrown objects right nowhttps://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#q77915395>Following her nose she finds a dragon and overhears things... partially"Yeaaaup it's me, shifted form, bit like dragons taking human form but you know, different size direction""Something about fireworks? Shame I can't use my illusions for that, powderfree fireworks is always a spectacle but not with Mastema forbidding it""What kinda meat you have?"https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#q77911864>Spotting the giant in the distance she wonders for a moment what it would look like if he tried to ride a pig
>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#q77933573>The fields were filled with various undead, spirits and monsters. Lesser vampires were common, as well as zombies. At this distance it was difficult to tell specifics. Except for the one leaping repeatedly beneath the fruit trees. That was pretty obviously a Jiangshi. An unusually large number of Mushi seemed to be congregating in the area as well.>The only light in sight seemed to be leaking out of the shut windows and door of a large farmhouse.>Every now and then one of the workers went from the fields and into the building.>Inside the building was quite crowded, a mix of living and dead all within the walls. The table is laid with meals catered to vampires, while it provided no sustenance a skilled cook could still create a meal that tasted more satisfying.>Some of the living wore white bands tied to their arm, marking them as willing donors, mostly young lads and ladies still swept up in the romantic notions surrounding creatures of the night. Though there were a few more sensible types that seemed to be upholding things out of an odd sense of tradition.>The other rooms seemed to be for relaxation and payment to those who could not enjoy the banquet. If their sense of taste was barred then the locals would do their best to serve the others.>In the main room there was the glimmer of a fading illusion as one act segued into another. Two Yuki Onna are playing in the corner. The sounds of a drum and acoustic guitar bringing life to the room as the two played. Yulia was tapping out a beat on the drum, her chest rippling with the rhythm. Each had an armband tied on their sleeve though Yulia's was red instead of white.
[Day 1]>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77915395 (Rynn/Meru)>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77930753 (Emily)Although Bene fails to see a familiar maid, she does see the towering Dragonkin duo. Content with staring up until Whisper's attempt begins, she just offhandedly waves hello.>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77933533 (Brenna)It's clear to the elapid that this frigid woman has no interest in even being hospitable. She can't quite determine how she wronged her directly, so she assumes Brenna dislikes people getting close to Yulia—or perhaps any Yuki-Onna from that group.>>77950772Bene pouts at Alice."Please quit talking about the courting rituals of Hebinier's natives. I just know someone important will overhear us and they'll get the wrong idea about me!"
>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77885162 (Alice)>The wind seems to leave Whisper's sails as he listens to Alice's challenge.*Wha- But, I...*>He was pretty excited to show off his Beast Mastery skills, but Alice knows that Whisper would never be able to decline such a challenge from her, especially after that sly kiss cheek kiss.*Alright, alright. Deal!*>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77911557 (Brenna)>Whisper just shrugs at Brenna's scorn.>You'd think at this point he'd have an easy way to let people know that he can't speak. Maybe he needs to wear a hat with some text on it or something.>Looking at Brenna's reaction to himself and Bene, Whisper suspects attempting to perform some charades is only going to make things worse. This stranger might assume that he's throwing gang signs.>He figures he'll be able to explain at a later time or maybe Alice will just explain for him.>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77913065 (Bene)>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77885162 (Alice)>>77950772*Well, I'm less confident than I was a moment ago, but after I try to wrastle this pig, I think I'll calm a few of them so that we can race. How does that sound?*https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77915395 (Rynn)*Oh hi Rynn! Watch me wrastle this pig.*
>>77956817>>77950262>>77950772>Whisper steps into the pen, keeping a wide stance as he stares down Hamlet, the unforunate swine.*I may not be allowed to try and charm you, but that doesn't mean I can't use my knowledge of beasts to beat you.*>The mothboy flaps his wings, hoping to taunt the cranky cutlet.>He succeeds as Hamlet charges with an angry snort. Whisper then flaps again and floats above the charging pig.>Hamlet looks up to track the arial opponent, only to stumble and slide agross the muddy ground. It would appear that Whisper had extended a couple of tentacle vines from his floof, hidden part way beneath the mud, and tripped the pig.>Whisper's vines retract, pulling him back down towards Hamlet.>Landing on Hamlet's back, Whisper hugs it and again extends his vines, wrapping them around the pig's torso.*Ha! Now I am never letting go. Your move Bacon Brains!*>Whisper's confidence is short lived as Hamlet stands right back up without issue and huffs.>Hamlet runs towards one end of the pen, making a sharp turn at the fence, almost tossing Whisper.>It then uses the full length of the pen to run at full sprint, gaining speed before planting it's hooves into the mud and screeching to a sudden halt.>Whisper's vines, slick with mud, lose their grip and Whisper is thrown over the pig's head.>The mothboy lands on his back and keeps sliding until coming to a stop right at Alice's feet.>Whisper has lost the bet.>A Command Seal appears on Alice's hand.>A Mark of Failure appears on Whisper's... tongue.*Good night, sweet prince; And flights of tenshi sing thee to thy rest."
>>77950772"The weather is nice... on occasion I like to visit Ballad but this is good in its own way.">A look of confusion crosses Brenna's face as Alice's eyes shift. She's apparently unfamiliar with what Alice's true form is."I do not know if I will attempt other events... This company is difficult for me to stand.">>77956817>She watches Whisper carefully until he gets out of grabbing range. Strangers coming up and grabbing your arm wasn't exactly normal behavior. Especially whey they don't explain why. From her perspective a weird Fey Monster Hybrid made eye contact, grabbed onto her and then wandered away without a word when she yanked her arm away.>>77956937>She is however fairly impressed with his attempt. Perhaps attempting to root it down would have worked if the earth was not so loose. Gripping the pig was one thing but they were pulled out like weeds when when the Ham picked up speed.
>>77930753 Saithana returns a curt nod, while Fjorwa performs a curtsy so ingrained in her body that even through the clumsiness of intoxication does not allow anything less than perfect. Domi replies to the glance with a minute shrug, casting aside any indications of malintent. As Fjorwa pops back up, she replies simply, “A few pieces of adventures and your being a level-headed personality among the…” She throws her eyes left and right dramatically with the belief of internal subtlety as her voice trails off for a moment, as if she’d recognize anyone in particular, let alone be overheard in the thrum of the excited crowd. Fjorwa leans closer before whispering, “...The eccentric ones.” Just as quickly withdrawing, she moves to look back at the pig wrestling, seeing a moth-elf of some sort enter the ring. “I think that’s one we’ve been told about as well…” Her attentions seem to diminish as she looks at the spectacle unfoldingSaithana tugs on Domi’s sleeve, bidding him to lean down for her to say something in his ear, to which he shakes his head. She steps over and offers Emily a piece of confection from a glass jar, a nut-brittle of sorts, and then turns to observe Whisper’s best efforts. [cont]
>>77959920>>77956937“He’s really giving it his best, but… That pig is nearly twice again his weight. Wide stance, but flying isn’t going to give him much leverage…” The plan Whisper takes is a touch unexpected, the crowd’s excitement piquing for a moment as a collective inhale sounds. “Maybe if he lassos the legs out from underneath…” Then begins the rodeo. One way, then back, the momentum it generates as it makes surprisingly agile turns in the mud ultimately too much for the vines to hold. He dramatically slides through the mud, ending up… Right beneath who he assumes is Alice. “A good attempt.”The surge of magical energy catches Saithana’s attention, but she doesn’t seem to do much except look at speed, sending her hair moving dramatically.“Aww, he looked like he nearly had him…” Fjorwa’s statement is followed by a glance at Saithana, “Did they…?” The redhead nods. “How strange…” She looks at Domi.“No, on both counts.” His attention is attracted by the terms, but he’s hardly without experience in dealing with swineherds and merchants. He’s not getting in while the man thinks there’s a decent chance of victory. Of course, he could simply buy a pig, but that’s better saved for when they’re leaving and not having to lead it about the rest of the week.>>77950772>Domi considers for a moment how large of a swine he’d need to ride upon…https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#77915395>>77956655A quick scan through the crowd reveals a few people of not-dissimilar size, whether by footprint in a crowd as the snake or stature as with the dragonkin. While he believes himself familiar with both, neither are to such a degree he’d go out of his way to introduce them — or maybe the opposite would be a wiser decision.
It do be that time of day.
10 waring
up again
>>77959920>Eccentric... This was the first time Emily had been called that, at least in living memory.>Well, the maid immediately knew what was *actually* meant by that, though the deliberate choice of term did leave her wondering whether it was Domi's chosen euphemism or if she came up with it herself>For now though, she simply accepted the offered sweet from Saithana with a brief "Thank you." before taking a small nibble of it and turning her own attention to the pig fight."It seems Domi values the two of you highly, if he's willing to share such stories...">She offered that assessment of the cousins without so much as turning back to them as she watched moth and pig get dirty.>>77956937>>77959937>>77950772>The moth taking up the challenge was well-known to Emily. And she thought him well-suited to this challenge>But at the same time, she was curious as to how he would approach it.>After all, in the spirit of competition, high-end beast mastery was likely off limits.>But Whisper's physical prowess, especially nerfed, meant that if he didn't approach tactically, it'd be trouble...>And, just as she was thinking that..."Ah...">He lost...>How disappointing.>So Emily took another small bite off the brittle, took one more look over at Domi, then slipped her way to the front of the crowd, in an attempt to greet/maybe console Whisper>Though, before she says a word, she catches sight of the Humie-sized pixie with him, something that explains a fair bit about the situation, even just at a glance>And while she doesn't see the command seal on Alice's hand, she slips herself close enough to them to at least be heard when she offered a greeting."Good attempt."
>>77956817>>77956937"Good Luck Whisper">There's a big smile on her face as she watches him stride into the arena>And then he starts to fly, a sound is heard from the stands "CHEATER">Which then turns into excited cheering again >Almost looks like he's going to pull it off and well, it looks great"COME ON WHISPER SHOW THAT PIG WHO's BOSS">Until suddenly it doesn't and he slides over>Smile still on her face Alice kneels down pulling a handkerchief out of her bag carefully cleaning up the mud"Believe it or not I was actually rooting for you there, but that was one hell of a pig, almost feel mean for putting you up against him""He may be the champion but you're still my hero mothboy">finishing cleaning off his face she drops herself ontop of him reaching out for a long kiss, inadvertely getting more than a little bit of mud on her self"And a waaay better kisser""As for this little thing">She shows off the seal on the back of her hand"Lets say tonight we find a bit of privacy and figure out exactly what that mark did to your tongue?""Unless you want a rematch with the pig, don't worry, no bets this time">>77956655"Or the right idea, if you end up in a ball with every other lamia at the festival, thank me later">>77959201"Ballad absolutely has some beautiful beaches, definitely can recommend it, also far less pigs of the pork variety, couple of the humie variety though but they're easy to avoid">She looks around a bit"I suppose there's a bunch of unorthodox figures around, can be a handful, don't let us get you down on the festival, plenty of more normal people around">>77959937>>77969953>Only now noticing the maid "Woops guess I gotta share the moth for a bit, if you wanna blame anyone for that loss, blame me, I eeh, spiced things up a bit""Good to see you're here, you bring Domi along or did he bring you along, or is that somehow a completely unrelated giant?"
>>77965747
>>77954925>Amughar smiles warmly at the sight of the crowded building. Seeing both undead and the living in one place without trying to kill each other would stir his heart if he had one that still could beat. He wonders if he should accept the offer of blood from those donors but there is always still part of him that...truly doesn't want to feed on someone willing or not.>He takes a look outside the window and lightly winces at feeling so many Mushi nearby, that usually isn't the best sign of normality from his own experiences. Kodama would probably love it though considering she's basically a giant one.>A flash of red in the corner of his eye catches his attention as he sees a face he hasn't seen in quite a while. Which is certainly odd considering that tunnel he has in her territory."Yulia! Long time no see! You bring Brenna with you or is it just you out here on your own? Quite far from Esca territory..."
>>77956817"Sounds good to me, Whisper!">>77956937Immediately, once the moth man's attempt begins in earnest, Bene practically snaps into a position where she's curled forward, elbows resting on her lap, and hands pressed together to form a platform for her chin to rest upon. She looks intently at Whisper's trial, and although quick to end, it was a good demonstration of how our reduced physical capabilities lead to outcomes outsiders are not used to. The naga nods with a satisfied smirk."That was a fine attempt, Whisper. We know how it would've gone had you used your expertise~">>77959937>>77959920Now that Bene is looking at eye level, she finally takes notice of some familiar—and unfamiliar faces. Still, she waves at the group, albeit more directed towards Domi. The chatter amongst the audience around her is a little loud, so she mouths a simple 'hello'.>>77970456She is taken aback by Alice's statement, at least visibly."H-hey! Don't go around advertising me to just any Lamia you happen to see around! There aren't even that many around here and the last thing I want is a weird reputation..."
>>77974382>Technicially he shouldn't be drinking from anyone regardless. The Night Harvest and Night Feast are a celebration from an event that took place decades back. >A plague swept through the region right before harvest and much of the crops were at risk of rotting in the fields. Then as if by miracle, farmers found their crops harvested and bound overnight.>At least thats what Amugar has been able to gather when he was recommended the event at the Day tent.>Mushi actually seem to have been concentrated throughout the whole festival. Quite a few surround the Day Tent though they seem to be repelled by some force. A similar cloud hangs over the campgrounds, up until a few hours ago there would be occasional flashes of light in the sky seeming to drive them away.>Yulia glances up and Amughar and then back down to her instrument. Ignoring him until the song was complete. She wasn't skilled enough to play and talk at the same time while performing.>After she's finished she speaks a few words in her local tongue to the other Yuki Onna who nods and steps away."Yes. It's been some time. I wasn't sure if I would see you here.">She struggles to meet his eye.
>>77594003>>77679006Kakabel and Rynn, even with their senses primed, can see nothing of particular interest at present — only upon moving down the curve does that change. The subterranean chamber expanded into a gilded lobby, a central leisure area with offices lining the walls, engineered mirrors bringing sunlight down from the surface to illuminate the rooms. Marble pillars spiraled over with gold hold up the great weight of rock and water, allowing this space to exist. Things look a little hurried, a touch out of place, a clamor that was hastily concealed. Doors are slightly ajar, a scrap of parchment here or there. On the western wall, a large , golden bas-relief presents a strange scene: bulls in yokes turning a wheel from whence comes a spray of water overlooked by a palace with passersby all feeding the bulls in their endless labor. A clear spot sits atop the palace, conspicuously empty despite the exceptional detail of the rest of the work. Looking at it, Kakabel’s expanded senses detect something for a brief instant, only to have it secreted away once more. This is enough, however, to set off the alarms in Kakabel’s head. Suddenly, every crevice, every shadow, every pillar is somewhere the cause of this could be hiding; a threat camouflaged with the two fields of deception: illusion and dark.[Continued!]
>>77979549>>77594003>>77632706Yukia and Amughar heard nothing. Indeed, it was like they had been specifically isolated here, lured, to some end they hadn’t foreseen. The corpses being poked and prodded, attracting their attention with their gruesome method of execution, slowly letting noose tighten. Amughar feels a pang of ice rush down his spine — turning to look at the cause, there’s nothing. No image, no scent, no persistent staring that would make his spine shiver. Yukia feels herself suddenly inhale, a gasp in reverse. This grand guignol has not yet drawn its curtain. A moment passes, and nothing occurs. Absolutely nothing. Not a hint of moving air; not the warmth of the sun; not the pounding of her own heart; and it was in this stillness that death would follow.DC: 12 + 4 (unknown) = 16
>>77610911Alice’s flit about the balconies shows an image of carnage where many could not get to shelter, massive serpents carting around stray limbs of bodies half-decomposing on balconies, their flesh having spilled out into streams the traveled slowly over the edge and dripped into puddles or else staining the water with the crimson. The serpents that coil along the balconies and then throw themselves, gliding from one to another, were each roughly half as long as Bene. Scales were formed of teeth, cracked and overlapped with a sinew-wrapped spine forming the majority of their body, while their heads were lamprey-like, broken jaws fused in concentric rings that roasted in opposite directions, clockwise—anticlockwise—clockwise and so on, gripping and tearing through the flesh that they brought into their maws. They didn’t notice her, not having any specific means to sense that were easily seen other than a single black sphere that protruded from the lower part of their head. Looking along the canal, she can see a fair number of figures briefly moving in shadows in the depths of the canal, though they seemed sporadic, disconnected…>>77638162>>77639152Whisper, meanwhile, prepared them further, layering Alice’s illusions with alchemical means of fooling the senses or dissuading the undead from their approach, settling them into a comfortable background. With those in place, in addition to Alice’s illusions, it should be rather difficult for them to be detected by the creatures just patrolling around. Bene, too, is prepared, though by more purely magical means as they await Alice’s return.
>>77612298With Selene’s muffling spell caressing Emily’s every movement, the gloves on her hands that made her feel even more like a minion of an evil ninja faction, and Sol’s emergency token on her person, Emily began to skulk forward. With her own agility being rather good and her own inclinations further leaning into a roguish bent, she was able to use her maidly abilities to move unseen and unheard into the first apartment. Climbing along the prominent decor these ornate apartments possessed, she was able to move onto a balcony and scout a path forward: the balconies had little in the way of security, many a door left open in the clamor of evacuation. Fine parlors with bottles of wine spilled, conspicuously lacking in the scent of rot and blood like one would expect. Perhaps these were the most fortunate, able to escape before the violence could reach them. Paths were winding, moving from a balcony inside to a parlor, then down to a window that faced another with a thin gap separating it from another — crawling through into the dining room of another, then shimmying her way down the dumbwaiter to the servant quarters in the basement, damp with the scent of rot. Her eyes betrayed no cause in particular — perhaps a simple leak had killed a rat and its putrefaction had simply filled the basement. Silent, without a sound produced, she sneaks up into a different apartment, or more a large townhouse, with a garden that stretches along to round the bend. From there, it would be a straight shot to the first guard tower across a small paved square, obvious by the Gendarme attempting to keep watch, blood staining his armor and uniform. She has a feeling that this is a place with too many angles on it to cross safely, even with her inconspicuous nature…[Continued!]
>>77979690>>77639902>>77672468Selene and Sol, meanwhile, held their positions. Selene looked over as the maid disappeared, out of perception far faster than she usually expected, in no small part due to the charm on the maid. Sol looked to the men, gathering positions and setting themselves up for relief efforts should they hear further news. One of the officers turns to Sol, gathering up his men with a nod. The divine authority flared brightly, and they listened closely. “What is it that we should do?”
[Meta]I apologize for the delay this time. I had a plethora of issues to deal with that simply demanded a lot of my time. I'll endeavor to be faster in my replies from hereon!
https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/77610799/#q77937419 (Bene)"What? Isn't bragging about your partner's size just normal girl talk? And all of it's needed for informed consent in this case.">The dragonkin is unsure whether he was the weird one here or Bene. He knew he was a bit too open about things, but surely you've got to share that so they know what they're getting in to. He guesses it was a bit too soon and much too public for her taste. Oh well, not like anybody from Morning Dew were normal."Yes she can, but she's better at shaping into new forms if she has an example. Usually one that she consumed in a fit of rage when I tried it on, but still. She got really good at doing gold accessories after nomming on some.">He returns Yuni's wave as Bene carries him off."Yeah, she was definitely more interested than the rest. A bit clumsy, but happy to go along with things. Seemed like she might be willing to spend some time getting to know us better, if you know what I mean. At the end of the festival though, like Yulia suggested. Let her think about it over the week, and if she really wants it she'll come to us."
keep it going for the night
>>77980565Bene sighs, holding a palm to her brow."No, Charlie, it's not just "normal girl talk!" E-even if it is important that she knows... C-couldn't you have just told her in private?""I, um, I don't know about Senketsus eating metallic items, especially precious ones. Isn't it better if you give it to her to analyze or send a mental image telepathically? That's valuable material."She raises Charlie some so that she can rest her chin upon his head as she slithers."Mhm... Okay then. She is cute and interested in you and maybe she'll come to like me, as well. In the meantime, we can still look around, right? Tomorrow night there's supposed to be some sort of harvest activity that's Undead-friendly. We should totally check it out~ That's what I read on one of the flyers, at least."
Getting late
10 warning
>>77981665>Charlie makes sure to use [Talk to Me] for this bit, so as to not draw any undue attention from potential eavesdroppers as they head back to their tent."Babe I literally produce gold, remember? At least I do when I'm not eggnant. Other stuff sure, but I'm not running out of gold any time soon.">He rubs his scalp against Bene's chin and switches back to his outside voice."Of course we're still looking around. The festival hasn't even started yet! The harvest sounds nice. I heard someone say there's going to be fancy food.">>77954925>>77981665>He arrives with Bene the night of the harvest. Seeing the activity, he's impressed by the coordination of the creatures of the night. Something concerns him though."That's a lot of mushi. Hopefully that marionette from yesterday is around to keep them scattered. I know they aren't trying to do any harm, but things tend to get a bit weird if too many of them get together. Anyway, let's get to work! I'm going to use my levitation to help with the orchard, so it's time to split up.">He grabs whatever bucket or basket is available to the participants and gets moving. Collecting fruit should be child's play with the ability to hover.
>>77959201>Whisper takes a moment to wave at Brenna from the ground. Maybe she'll warm up to him in time.>>77959937>>77970456>Whisper listens intently to their conversation.*Oh is Domi here?*>>77976755*I tried to use the mud to my advantage, but it turned against me in the end.**Ya know, I should have used some sort of alchemical solution or powder to make my vines less slippery.*>Whisper starts rummaging through his bag.*No. Lubricant. Lubricant. Frost resist lubricant. Fire resist lubricant. Strawberry flavored lubricant. That last one sells pretty well and it's not even magic...**Oh, here we go. I've got a potion that just makes your skin sticky! Great for grappling! I uh... haven't quite figured out how to make your clothes not stick to yourself yet.*>Whisper looks at the bottle, then frowns.*Oh wait. I think all the mud would just end up sticking to you.**What I really need is a water or slime resistance potion!*
>>78004978>>77969953*Greetings Emily and thank you.**I hope you've been enjoying the festival. Are you here attending to anyone or are you here on your own time?*>>77970456>Whisper blushes at Alice's kiss, especially when he feels her tongue touch his tongue.>He somehow sounds a little breathless in Alice's mind.*Whew. That mark is something. I'm sure that we can come up with a few ways to test it out further tonight.*>Whisper's fingers gently trace the mark on the back of Alice's hand.*I am in your hands after all.*

>>77950187>For those who have been part of Harahel for a while, particularly those who reincarnated, do you even remember the choices you made? I do not recall the process. The when and how of choosing is little more than a vestige of an impression. The choices themselves are hard to forget. Each element plays its role in balancing one point against another — a reason and an end produce the means and thus lacking in either results in a degeneration of the whole. What is one to do but carve it into themselves, one way or another? >>78027335>adds spats and dolphin shorts to the list
>>78027678>spats>dolphin shortsI'm plenty stocked! Not my fault they are the most comfy things to wear when running hot!>Takes note's from Venice-anonDon't mind me~
>>78004978>>77970456Brenna isn't sure what to make of the humie and hybrid pair. She's fairly sure they're EOH but weren't on the list. Maybe she could lighten up a little. They seemed to be behaving. Just a mostly normal humie and your typical Elf Wilds Hybrid.>Someone would need to explain the 'no talking' thing to her though. She wasn't the type to allow casual contact.[Day 1 - Pig Slam]Seems a bit of commotion is happening in the other pens. A moderate number of hogs, all in a range of sizes are lined up for a race, but the moment the Minotaur farmhand tries to get the pigs to start down the track with whooping and yelling they just scatter in every direction. Seems like the he might be inexperienced with the task.
Another bump
Please remember to consider panties in the context of feng shui. Suboptimal panties reduce arka flow.
>>77950187>For those who have been part of Harahel for a while, particularly those who reincarnated, do you even remember the choices you made?Vaguely? The memories are kind of hazy in my head. Like trying to parse an image through a magnifying glass covered in Vaseline or something.I WILL admit I've found myself tied up somewhere or standing outside of someone's home while rapping my fingers on the door only to remember I kind of did it to myself...>>78026007SHE'S REAL!Or maybe she's not. We've had false alarms before, we have. The riddles are a bad sign but you don't seem to be blooming...! You're even saying it right! If you start sprouting branches or too many teeth, I'm going to be real nettled...!Come now, dear Sistah! Come, if that's who you really are! Away from this deafening moonlight and the webs it weaves! The woods around here have been strange, lately. Lots of robes, and strange candles, and animals fusing together...! Best to go somewhere to ride this out and collect ourselves until we can sort this out! Sort ME out! God, that moon is loud...!
>>77976755"Relax I'm not gonna saddle you with any reputation you won't enjoy">there's a small wink>>78004999"Don't worry too much about it, after all I kinda did set you up for failure">she cuddles herself up despite the mud"Besides farmer would have been mighty disappointed if you won the pig right here and now, we can watch another couple people eat the dirt""That or we could see what's up with the pig racing, where I guess it's fair if I don't shift back, would be a bit too much advantage for me">>78029371"Don't worry Brenna, he's kinda normal, when you know he's tamed enough that is">she giggles for a moment"Really though he can't speak well at least not with words, something of a well curse, one we can't really lift""But there's a trick around it a sorta touch telepathy, I know it sounds far-fetched but shake his hand and you'll notice immediately">Looking over at the distant sound she looks back at Whisper>>78004999"Want to go help that poor thing out with the pigs?">>77950187Not reincarnated but theres been some complications as a result of Arc's wild ride that make remembering every choice difficult
Heya there! I was introduced to this by a friend and I wanted to try and make a new character. Managed to get something done and wanted feedback along hopefully some help on how to get started.In any case, here is the character sheet so far.

>>78051916Interesting that you've gone with smithing 4, what type of smithing would you be interested in most?
>>78051971Honestly a bit unsure, I do imagine it will mostly focus on weapons and or armor, but able to create custom orders if the situation arises
>>77969953“We are his favorites,” Fjorwa says, chest puffed out. She looks mighty pleased with herself, though she doesn’t much continue from there, simply looking on at the pig wrestling with an unusual level of focus for someone who seems to be moving about otherwise with carefree joviality. “He only tells us a few, though you’ve featured enough to stand out.”Saithana responded to the thanks with a nod, falling back in line with Domi and his rather soft commentary as the match finished up. Without much delay, the three moved along with Emily to offer their condolences, Fjorwa sticking closer to the maid while the other two had to slowly part the crowds without accidentally trampling over someone. >>77970456Fjorwa arrives first but stays quiet and still a few steps behind Emily, not moving any closer until Domi and Saithana manage to navigate the excited crowds. Carefully negotiating his way over, “More just an incidental meeting, Alice. I’m here with my cousins,” he states, placing a hand on Saithana and Fjorwa’s shoulders as he addresses those present. “This is Fjorwa,” — “A pleasure to make your acquaintances,” she replies, the blonde woman curtsying perfectly, were it not for the pitcher of mead in one hand.“And this is Saithana.” “Hallo,” is all she offers, briefly bowing her head in acknowledgement. [cont]
>>78003160>The marionette is around, she seems to be flying overhead trying to disperse the spirits. Her eyes flickering between green and red. >A handbasket is easy enough to find, and there are larger baskets under the trees. Seems like it was a good year, the branches are struggling with the ripe fruit. A few are tending to the orchard. Fairly close to Charlie is a Jiangshi. She's a lot plusher up close, but could likely crush a watermelon with her legs. These hops to catch fruit are nothing compared to what she could really do.>Charlie works in the relative quiet for a while. Seems like someone is strumming an instrument out in the fields as well though its a bit hard to hear clearly."My... what delicious fruits are up in the trees tonight? Are these ripe peaches or pumpkins?">Someone reaches up from below, somehow getting underneath Charlie unnoticed. They grab his buttocks or his balls, whichever hang lower and pull him to the ground.>A fancily dressed vampire with quite the oversized codpiece. If it wasn't for his voice he'd be indistinugashable from a female."Ana, come look at this ripe fruit? Don't you just want to put it in your mouth and bite down?">The Jiangshi looks in the direction of the two for a moment before returning to her task."Oliver, could you have at least filled one basket before molesting someone?""But look at him. He's the most delectable morsel in the branches aren't you? Whats your name sir? I am Lord Oliver. Beastmaster of Forte."
>>78053277>>78004978Not touching Whisper, and thus not quite able to tell what he’s saying even if a glance at him shows some sort of communicative gesture, Domi offers condolences, “That was a strong attempt, even if it didn’t make use of your full talents. I’m sure you could have handled him but…” He looks to Alice. “Did you two Enchante?” Saithana asks, Fjorwa attempting to sneakily look at the back of Alice’s hand.“I take it that had something to do with it?” He finishes.The two women look with confusion as Whisper rummages through his bag, pulling out and replacing a seemingly endless amount of bottles, their labels showing the mundane mixed seemingly at random with the erotic.>>77976755“Hallo, Bene. Enjoying the festivities thus far? I imagine they’re a far cry from the sort of Bacchanals you’re used to out in the Wilds.”
[Night 0]>>78003160Bene sighs, both in understanding and out of satisfaction."Maybe it's just my greed talking then."She hums, pleased."Good~! I haven't heard anything about the food, but I bet it'll be delicious! It's about as fresh as it could be, after all~"[Night 1]>>77954925>>78003160The elapid hums in acknowledgement."There really are quite a lot. I remember the Marionette saying such, but this many throughout all times of the day is really something~ I wonder if it helps maintain the magic around here... Ah. Okay, see you in a bit, Darling~!"She sees Charlie get right to it and, both motivated at seeing him doing work and wanting to avoid thinking about being separated from her lover, Bene sets off for the fields. She isn't yet sure what crops are to be found are ripe for harvest here, but this Lamia is eager to help with the kind requiring muscle! Doing a little digging and pulling ought to feel rewarding, right?[Day 1]>>78004978"It could've gone worse and I'm glad it didn't! Hey, although I'm weakened, I can still use my magic to get the mud off of me. Actually—want me to do that for you?">>78050177Bene sighs."Just don't get carried away.">>78053296"Yep! It's a welcome change of pace~ I, um, tend to not partake in the ones near me. Elves and Oni don't know how to hold back in the slightest... A-anyways, how about yourself? And who are the two ladies with you?"
>>77933533"Oh, sure do! If you can find it living in lava, I've got it stashed away. Hell, I've probably got more of these than anything else since no one besides Meru usually eats them with me.">Rynn happily throws several eels and crabs from the last volcano she visited onto the grill."Hey Meru, you've got the beer with you right?""Mm. Here.">Meru sets a keg on the table and fills a mug with beer for Brenna."You. Wash hands?""Oh yeah, you're still a mess from that wrestling match we caught the tail end of. Want a bowl of water to clean up a bit before you eat?">>77950772>A mischievous grin spreads over Rynn's face as she offers Alice a piece of grilled lava eel, which is usually too spicy for Humie tongues>>77956655>>77956817>The dragons wave to the few people they somewhat recognize though they have yet to really speak much with most of this group.>>77959937>Rynn easily spots what is likely the only person in the town taller than her, briefly wondering what clan of giants the man must be descended from.
>>78004999>>77970456"Not a problem. It was surprising, but...">Emily glances at Whisper, then back at Alice>Multiple ideas for how Alice, even in this form, may have spiced things up come to mind."It made things more exciting. I suspect few here thought he could possibly lose a challenge like that.""Understandable. And it's not like there were consequences to failing besides, perhaps, your reputation.">Letting those words hang in the air for a moment to let the duo wonder whether she was actually disparaging Whisper or not, she then answered the actual question they asked."I came alone. Ojou-sama is absent, and meeting Domi was a welcome coincidence. Though, given the large number of familiar faces around, it seems word of this festival spread quite far. Which should make for an entertaining time.">>78053277"...Favorites... Favorites...">Emily repeated that one word. Then, after a beat, said it again.>She didn't really have any doubt that it wasn't true, but it did make her wonder some, especially having known Domi for a while herself.>Well, ultimately, she was thinking that the stories that he had shared with these two were either generally accurate, or embellished in favor of those he considered friends.>But with the more energetic personality of Fjorwa especially, it was the interpretations that gave room for chaos and doubt to grow>And then, of course, the energetic one stuck with her even as she moved. No surprise there, really. That was a desire that Emily herself could absolutely understand."I will be curious as to how your own observations compare to the stories you've been told when all is said and done. Not just for me, but for others present that you may have heard about...">Without trying to get her attention as they moved, and without introducing the topic calmly, Emily simply gave Fjorwa that to think about. She may have already been, but if she wasn't, making her do so would probably be more fun than just asking later...
>>78052268you know, we do have a lot of smithing people, could be fun to have a competition one of these days, see who makes what (and potentially if people are up for it a lewd smithing competition)(Also in general towards people with high enough smithing, anyone interested in such a thing?)
>>77979690>>77979718[Venice posting]Antenna twitching against the stillness on the air, Sol gulped hard. He could certainly talk up a storm and present a lot of magic, but actually being on the ground, with actual lives stacked up behind him... forcing his nerves down, Sol spoke softly back so that his voice wouldn't carry far down the street, "We'll follow Emily; quietly and as much out of sight as we can. If you see something, signal those in front and behind you." The holy smith was no strategist, and with those words he was essentially out of ideas. "Lady Selene," he spoke again, turning his gaze to the noble bard and guildmate. "What do you make of these streets?" As he waited her response, Sol started to take guarded steps along the narrow avenues between building and canal, keeping his gaze darting between sky, window, and alley.
