The shattered planes.
Lands beyond what is real, a thousand small realities, all complete with their unique dwellers. The natural order and peace reigned in each of them. In the past.

But now that the portals have opened, outsiders poured in the planes, searching for glory, and ready to crush what or whoever planned to stop them.
Even if some planes had to collapse.

You’re a hydra. You lived in your jungle until the Diamond Dog attacked. They destroyed your home plane, and now you’re in exile, searching for a new home. You are Faze, and your sisters are named Fangs and Froth.

After exploring the Unearthed Woods, a place where various undead dwell, you’ve now entered the Cakewalk, where you started chasing a group of outsiders you just noticed.

You rush forward, giving chase to the outsiders.

Bit by bit, you’re closing in to them, since the slimy terrain is hard to move for all of you. And to slow them further, you decide to throw a jet of fire in front of them.
However, it seems like you don’t quite have the range to do that, and your flames dissipate harmlessly in the air halfway through your target.

Still, as they see they meagre hope of escaping dwindle with each passing second, the outsiders stop in their tracks, and quickly proceed to hide behind what you can now identify as a cage-wagon. There’s some tough cloth between the bars preventing you to see wwhat’s inside.

You also identify the outsiders more in detail. There’s a minotaur carrying one big piece of a sword, a dog with a huge backpack, ample clothes and something looking like the fire baton the attackers from your plane had, but no fuel container on his back. And there’s also a pony, whose face is partially hidden by a pointy hat.

“GET LOST, MONSTER!” The minotaur barks with a husky voice, as you’re now only a couple dozen feet away. “MY MATES AND I WILL CRUSH YOU DOWN IF YOU COME ANY CLOSER!”
“Yeah!” The dog who has climbed on top of the wagon adds. “Your big scaly bug is gonna get maimed up!”
Only the pony watches you in silence, behind the minotaur.
“Hihi!” Fangs giggles, as you slow down to devise your attack plan “Aren’t they funny? Talking all big and might while hiding for their live behind that thing?”

My bad, things came up. Still, feeling ready for some more posts

>>29545633
>>29545703
>>29545899
>>29546182
You cannot see what’s in the cart.

“Monster?” You hiss back “What’s in that cage? I’m sure it doesn’t belong to you, you stupid moronic condescending hypocritical twats!”
And you punctuate your sentence with a jet of fire aiming at the diamond dog.

He probably saw it coming. The dog jumps back, hiding from your flames by falling behind the cart. The minotaur and the pony imitate him.

“Let’s get them!” Froth calls, and you all tread forward.
“Wait, what’s that?” Fangs asks, as a… hissing candle rolls from under the cart.

Immediately after, the cart falls forward probably tipped by the outsiders which still hide behind it.

>What do?
>>
>>29546573
The hissing candle probably isn't good.

Get away from it as fast as you can.
>>
>>29546573
Rush to the candle and extinguish it.
>>
>>29546573
Toss the candle back to them, clearly they are playing catch with us.
>>
>>29546573
For whatever reason, the outsiders have thrown a candle at us while hiding behind the cart. It must be something magical and dangerous. A stupid creature would take the opportunity to charge straight forward without considering the candle. But not us.
We will keep our distance, circling around the candle and meet the outsiders on the otherside. When we reach them Faze will buff them with a gout of fire, then we all charge the minotaur's and neck.
>>
>>29546573
How far are we from the candle? If we're within a few feet or one-two meters, flick or throw the candle with our tail over the cart to the otherside. If we are not then mover around it.

“That thing obviously means no good, it’s probably at least magical, sisters!” You call, and proceed to largely circle around it for maximum cautiousness.

As you half expected, the candle end up producing a formidable explosion. You’re slightly shaken by the shockwave and noise, but mostly alright. The cart has been pushed back a little was well, and there’s a crater on the ground where it detonated.
“Yuck… I’ve got poison cake in my mane…” Froth growls.

You get back at getting around the cart, but before you can get a view from the other side, one of the outsiders jumps out of his hiding place.

“Catch me if you ca you monster!” He taunts, running on his four legs around your right. The two others are still behind the cart. Your sisters seem ready to chase the dog.

>What do?
>>
>>29546974
Let the others kill it we cannot take all the kills it will be bad for there self esteem.

However first I say we should ask if we really have to fight.
>>
>>29546974
Don't fall for it sisters he's trying to expose us to his friends. Get those fuckers behind the cart first. Dog can't take us on alone.
>>
>>29546974
Ignore the distraction. Two souls for two sisters after all. The cage is also interesting.
>>
>>29546974
Breath fire on the unicorn and minotaur. Let's see him weild a sword when his flesh is cooked and cracking.
>>
>>29546974
It's a trick. Go for the cart.
>>
>>29546974
Hydra's are strong, yes? Strong enough to flip the cart over ontop of the minotaur, yes?
>>
>>29546974
Shoot a jet of flame at the dog. If it has anymore of those exploding candles then I how we could set one off.

Don't catch him. Go around the cart this way. I don't think we want the cart + the minotaur + the teleports-behind-you pony in our back.
>>
>>29547422
Also Froth or Fangs (whoever the left head is) should keep an eye on the dog.
>>
>>29546974
quick tailwhip the dog before he get's to far away. or just blow fire at him. But don't chase him, he's trying to lead you away from the cart
>>
>>29547422
This but take a moment to breath a bit of fire at the dog to make him run further.

“Disregard this lure, Froth, Fangs, there’s more over there!” You enjoin them to take care of the other two first.
With the attention of your sisters where it belongs, you get to the cart. You use your tail as a spring, and swiftly flip it on its wheels, catching the Minotaur under. Simultaneously, your eyes meet with the pony’s, and he doesn’t have the time to do anything but scream before being engulfed in a jet of flames.

Still, you hear a crossbow being fired, a then you’re stopped when a massive pain arises at the back of your head. The world start to tumble. This is far from lethal, but a bolt in the brain won’t let you function correctly.
Fangs helps you get rid of the problem splinter while Froth latches on the prone minotaur to seal his fate with a healthy serving of poison.

You regain control over your senses a few seconds later.
The pony, you now see is a unicorn, is rolling on the squishy ground, screaming, and desperately trying to stop the fire. He’ll probably succeed if left enough time, but will still be heavily wounded if he survives.
Meanwhile, the dog seems to be running away, abandoning both companions and the rest of his stuff. He’s reached a patch of denser bushes, and you probably won’t be able to catch him anymore.
The minotaur is inert.

>What do?
>>
see you tomorrow
>>
>>29547642
open cage.
>>
>>29547642
I say we help the pony with the fire by flinging the sticky ground at him. This is a great opportunity to interrogate him for all he's worth.
>>
>>29547642
Let the pony put himself out so we can ask him a few questions.
>>
>>29547642
Hey if we save the unicorn, maybe we can get it to pull the cart for us. Then again, maybe we could find a golem to do that for us.
>>
>>29547642
Let the pony put himself out. Then ask him a bunch of questions.
>>
That was hilarious. The minotaur was all bark and more bite, and the Mutt will hopefully starve or be killed before it can reach any portal.
>>
>>29547642
Sit on the pony to put out the fire. Then pull back enough to let him breath. I want to know why these outsiders are attacking our plane.
>>
>>29547705
>attacking
Attacked. Why had they attacked our plane.
>>
U-unf. All this loot.
>>
>>29547642
What direction is the dog running in is it towards or away from the colony.
>>
>>29547642
Coil around the unicorn.
>hey unicorn. What's in the cage.
Oh. Also Lick him.
>>
>>29547642
Help put out the fire.

>>
>>29547642
>Meanwhile, the dog seems to be running away, abandoning both companions and the rest of his stuff.
Does that mean he ditched his backpack? Sweet. I think this is a great opportunity to see if the fire breathing ability includes fire resistance or invincibility. Try putting out the fires. Also one of the sisters should play sentry, while the other keep an eye on the diamond dog. Or at least the direction it went. Don't want to deal with any more arrows or exploding candles now, do we?
>>
>>29550336
I feel like backpacks are becoming our new raison d'être. But then again, who can blame us? They're usually full of good stuff.
>>

Let's try to seduce our new slightly charred friend
>>
>>29550799
We are going to become a seriel rapist at this rate.

Actually come to think of it I would be ok with that considering we jumped to the conclusion these guys were on the same side as those who destroyed our plane we are clearly not reasonable people whats a little >rape on top of that.

Oh no, looks like someone is hurt. If only we had some medicine on us~

The dog ran in the direction The Colony. That’s probably where they were heading. Since he left his stuff here, you’ve got little business with him anyway.

There’s no need to do anything about the pony either. And he probably won’t be in any shape to run once the fire is out. So while your sisters search for a way to open the cart, you inspect the content of the bag the dog left.

You find a bear trap, a bundle of bolts, a pouch of black powder, a jar of lead shots, a water can, a toolbox, a net, some rope, nylon string, several hooks and stakes, three gas masks, two vials of red potion, a grey potion, an empty vial and finally a jar of terrine.
The dog also left his fire stick, and the big sword of the minotaur lies next to his pathetic, defeated form. You bite him one last time to confirm he’s done for.
Finally, you also dig out another book from the bag. It contains the page relative to the cakewalk, but also several others, describing denizens of the Cakewalk.will be added later

“Hey, it’s open!” Froth calls you, so you crane your neck to see what’s inside the cart.

You find another native here. And she’s a… cupcake of some sort it seems. She’s unconscious, and her limbs are held to the walls by straps of hard leather straps, but other than that she’s unarmed. You can’t help but instantly feel bad for her, and the three of you promptly sever her binds without a second thought. Since she’s still knocked out, there’s little you more you can do for her.
Now, there’s another captive you’re going to take care of…
>>
>>29553068
The unicorn lies pitifully on his side, breathing heavily and visibly in pain from the various patches of burnt skin on his hide. He did manage to extinguish the fire, but he has taken a lot of damage. He cries in pain as your coils start to ensnare his charred body to bring it face to you.
“Alright, little plaything…” You tighten your embrace just a little more to let him know you’re actually not here to play “You’re going to answer a few questions for me.”
“P…ease…. Don… ill me.” He only manages to gurgle in response, still in shock.
“Aww…” Fangs pouts. “He’s broken already…”

>What do?
>>
>>29553073
Release our grip slightly. Just enought so he can talk more clearly.
>You may live longer if you answer our questions.
Point to pouch of black powder, a jar of lead shots, three gas masks, two vials of red potion, a grey potion, an empty vial, jar of terrine, and fire stick. Ask him how they work and how to use them.

this.

this may be a more appropriate image as we have not done everything yet and even if we end up voting to rape our sisters may still stop us.
>>
>>29554442
Oh that's right. They might not want to raep. We are sharing a body after all.
>>
Don't rape. Please don't make this into grimdark sexual bullshit.
>>
>>29554519
Well what if we seduce the unicorn?
>>
>>29554519
This. Plus this would be the worst subject for rape.
I think it would completely miss the quest's tone. If you want edgy bullshit, go to Darkest Hour or whatever.

Interrogate. If he answers questions, leave him be, if he can actually tell us something useful, give him a healing potion. If he doesn't answer our questions, eat him.
>>
>>29553331
>>29554430

When I said "That doesn't mean we'll let him go," I didn't mean "let's rape him."

I was thinking more along the lines of making him carry shit for us/pull the cart.
>>
>>29554849
That's not a bad idea. A snack that can walk, work and doesn't go bad after a day or two.
>>
>>29554540
That would probably be funny to read.
>>
>>29554442
I would argue we already pased the point we need to stop when we attacked a potentioly innocent group so the first image is more appropriate.

I doubt our sisters will let us rape him though.
>>
If we're going to enslave him we should probably just break off that pesky horn.
>>
>>29555723
>we attacked a potentioly innocent group
>You find another native here. And she’s a… cupcake of some sort it seems. She’s unconscious, and her limbs are held to the walls by straps of hard leather straps
>>
>>29555773
Hence the 'potentially' I imagine. We didn't know anything about the group before we attacked.
>>
>>29555773 (me)
>>29555786
Oh, I see the confusion. I believe he meant potentially innocent at the time of our attack, not potentially innocent as of right now.
>>
>>29555786
It was very likely they were not innocent. They were pulling a cart and they looked nothing like the surrounding.
>>
>>29555773
Hence potentioly.
We based our attack on the direction they were moving in despite the possibility the colony is a neutral city unafilated with those who attacked our plane.

Hell even though we can see they are probably not innocent (unless they are bounty hunters and that cupcake is evil) they still might be unrelated poachers (maybe the cupcake is not sentient and they are just hunters)
>>
>>29554849
Fuck yeah. He'll be our indentured pack mule.

I'm down for a seductive snek dance.
>>
>>29555802
I'm not interested in playing moral dilemmas when the MC is a hydra that lived in a jungle all their lives. There's prey, things too strong for us to fight, and potentially friend natives if we're nice and full upon meeting them. Outsiders are universally enemies/prey unless something in particular sticks out.

That being said, what's a big hydra going to do with a tiny horsedick? If we're going to fuck something it should be something worthwhile.
>>
>>29555802
But anon. The Colony is responsible for the destruction of our Plane, isn't it? We also based our attack on this...
>But what really catches you attention is another group, wearing way dimmer colours than the plane you’re in, which you identity as composed of outsiders.

There’s three of them, with probably a minotaur in the group, and they’re carrying some sort of big square chariot you can’t quite identify. They’re several hundred feet away from you, and moving away, probably heading for the Colony themselves.
>>
>>29555867
Seconded.
>>
>>29555867
>I'm not interested in playing moral dilemmas when the MC is a hydra that lived in a jungle all their lives
Fair enough
>>29555896
You know it is possible the colony is just where the attackers live right it could be unaffiliated and they could have just been traders.
>>
>>29553068
>>29554849
I agree with no rape and interrogating him and making him work for us. We would have to let him get patched up to be of use.

“Huh may be he comes with some spare parts?” You think out loud. And while still immobilizing the unicorn under you, you fetch one of the red potion with your tail.
“Hey, hey, little one…” You teasingly shake the vial in front of him. “Is it that what you need right now?”
He weakly rises a pleading hoof in response and you hand him what’s probably a healing potion. The unicorn proceeds to slowly drink it, and before long, his breathing start to calm down and you can see with your own eye the burnt spots on him recede into new skin. It’s almost like he was part-hydra for a few seconds here. But somewhat and despite everything, you can’t help but to feel happy he isn’t hurt all over anymore.
Which doesn’t mean you’re gonna go easy on him, though.

“Alright, little one, you look like you can answer a few questions now.” You and your sisters grin menacingly “And if we like the answers, we may even let you live.”
He gulps audibly, probably because he understands the situation he’s in. Which is good. You won’t waste any time.
“What’s inside that that cart?” You start the questioning.
“It’s a cupcake we captured.” He answers “We… uh” He hesitates “Planned to sell her later at the colony.”
“Alright. Now, what about all this stuff.” You show him the content of the dog’s bag “What’s all that, and how does it work?”
>>
>>29559628
“Ahem… well. As you probably guessed, the red potion is for healing.” He starts, pointing at what he describes “The grey one is a soporific. We use one to sedate the cupcake, hence the empty vial. The lead shots and black powder are ammunition for the gun. I’m not sure how it works exactly. The gas masks are in case we encounter something that uses poison gas or something similar. And finally… the terrine is just food.”

“Ah, I see…” You purr in satisfaction “Well, thanks for making this easy. You’re a cute little colt, aren’t you? Maybe we could make use of you after all…” You tighten your embrace, causing the puny pony to reel in pain. You give him a suggestive lick, which seems to terrify him one notch further. “We could even consider giving you a rew-OW!”
You yelp in pain as both your sisters’ heads come slamming on yours.

“Hey, hey, HEY!” Froth angrily calls “I don’t in what kind of weird dominatrix fetish you’re indulging into right now, but I’m NOT gonna do it with such a wimp. Even for a joke. Unlike you, I have standards, Faze!”
“That’s right, Faze” Fangs adds “I don’t want our first time to be some pet play or something just as weird. I’d rather keep ourselves pure for when we find a REALLY appealing mate.”
The unicorn seems at a loss about what would be the safest reaction to have about this. Still, his attention suddenly seem to be picked up by something else.
You turn your gaze to discover the minotaur’s soul has been released from his body, and now float above him.

>What do?
>>
>>29559639
“It’s a cupcake we captured.” He answers “We… uh” He hesitates “Planned to sell her later at the colony.”
Alright. The Colony is bad news.
So who wants the minotaur soul?
>>
>>29559639
Ask the unicorn what kind of magics it can perform.
>>
>>29559639
ask him what plane the colony is on
>>
>>29559639
Ask the unicorn to tell us what the pages of the book says.

>>29559686
I think We should give Froth this one since it might put up a fight later.
>>
>>29559639
Why, I would never even consider doing such with a pathetic colt like him!

Ask about the Colony. What is it, who is there, etc...
>>
>>29559639
Give us a reason not to eat you.
>>
>>29559639
Ask the pony about the minotaur. What kind of character traits he had. That might give us some clues about what the sould will do when eaten.

“Who wants to-“
“MINE!” Froth jumps and immediately gobbles the soul down.
“That… was fast.” You comment, only a little surprised. Your turn to the pony “Say, little one, what kind of person was your friend?”
“Well… uh… kind of a stubborn meathead I’d say…” He answers.
“H-hold on!” Froth says excitedly “I think I’m feeling something!”

Your sister start to groan and writhe on her neck, but nothing visible seems to be happening to her. It’s kind of silly watching her wince and roll around while you feel absolutely nothing. Eventually, she stops.

“So? What’s new?” You ask.
“W-well. I don’t really know…” Froth says, a little nervously “Unless... I think I might be a tad stronger actually.”
“A tad stronger?” You cock an eyebrow.
“Yeah, like… A tad.” She answers, sounding a little troubled “But… I don’t know… I don’t really feel like experimenting right now…”
“Alright…” You answer, puzzled. You kinda expected to her to head-butt you or something if she really felt ‘a tad’ stronger. Could there be there something else…?

But for now, you turn again toward the pony in your rings.
“Tell me about the Colony, little one. What kind of place is it?”
“Well… the Colony’s a city. Except in the planes, and that’s pretty much all about it. Hum… You could go there I think. There’s a ton of stuff to buy and sell there. People mostly come there to trade and find jobs.”
>>
>>29560601
“Right. We’ll see about that.” You say “Now read me what’s written in that lilliputian book of yours.”
The unicorn proceeds to tell you about the four new pages of their guide. They each describe a denizen from the cakewalk. First, there’s Cupcakes and Cakealopes, which are both pretty peaceful creatures of the Cakewalk. Then there’s Fudge Golems, which are big slimes living in the rivers and who hunt by drowning their prey in their fudge or in the fudge river. And then there’s Funnel Cake Spiders, which hide under the ground to catch prey in the candy cane forest.
“They’re all sentient, and can be sold for a good price at the Colony.” The unicorn concludes.

“Good work, little one.” You nod, before flashing him a sadistic grin “With that we’re settled on questions. Now tell me just one reason not to…Eat you right now.” For some reason, you feel bad threatening the poor thing, and a hint of guilt tickles your brain. You swipe it away, though.

“Well… huh…hum!” The puny pony start to panic “F-first I’m sure I taste terrible and I… I’ll do whatever you want of course! I can do telekinesis and shield others with magic! And huh… I huh… I have some contacts at the Colony. If you go around here, I could guide you. F-for real!”

>What do?

>>29560601
>neutral city
I feel validated.

Ask him what the exploding candles are called I wamna buy some.
>>
>>29560614
Very well.

Pick him up in our mouth and make our way towards the colony.
>>
>>29560614
Well he just gave us a reason not to eat him, let take him to the colony and see if he can get us the group that destroy our plains.
>>
>>29560614
I wonder if he knows anything about the ones that destroyed our plane.
>>
>>29560614
WOW. Just a tad stronger. I guess the Minotaur was as pathetic as he was alive as he is dead. I'd say, keep him under control when he waked, but with how you described consuming his soul I don't think that will be much of a problem.
>>
>>29560614
What can you tell us about your Mutt? What do you think he'll do when he reaches the colony?
Take a bite out of the minotaur. Hopefully heverything tastes good.
>>
>>29560614
Ever heard of an army of diamond dogs and where they live?
>>
>>29560614
Are you strong enough to pull this cart? And have you ever heard of a Hydra entering the Colony?
>>
>>29560601
Sucks to be Froth. Fangs will probably get a better one.

“Sounds interesting. You may live.” You state, and the unicorn lets out a huff of relief. Even if he’s far from being saved.
“Now” You continue “Surely you’ve heard about an army of diamond dogs going through the planes?”
“If was hard not to notice them.” The unicorn answers “I heard they went to defeat a keeper…but… I… guess you know that already, don’t you?”
“Yeah, we were there…” You growl.
“Hum… They will probably stay a couple of days at the Colony.” He continues nervously “They looked in a bad shape when they came back. But after some time, they’re probably gonna go home, out of the shattered planes.”
“Is your mutt who run away one of them?” You ask next “What is he gonna do once he reaches the colony?”
“Though Nail is just an adventurer, like me. And he’s probably gonna account for the losses. All the stuff and us...” The unicorn looks sadly at the dead bull “And decide what he’s gonna do after that… or maybe just get drunk.”
You think for a moment. With your impromptu guide, you decide it’s probably the right time to head for the city.

“Tell me your name, little one” You urge him “it’s getting old calling you like that all the time.”
“My name is Litwit.” The unicorn plainly answer.
“Alright, Litwit, are you strong enough to pull that cart?” He nods “Then you shall carry to the Colony.” You state, and after making a meal out of the minotaur, you and your unfortunate companion head south.

“Has there ever been a hydra in the Colony before?” You ask on the way.
“Well, not really…” Litwit answers shakily “B-but I’m sure it’ll be no problem for you!”
“If we’re the first ones” Fangs cheerfully says “People will be impressed when they see us, and be like….”

“Woah!” A voice suddenly exclaims from behind you “I’m moving on my own!”

“Woah!” Once again, once Litwit stopped in his tracks “I stopped moving on my own!”
And then the living pastry get out of the open wagon, before clumsily walking toward you.

“Hihi!” The cupcake greets both of you with a saccharine smile “Hey! You were right mister! I made super sweet dreams thanks to your potion.” She then turns to you “And you! Woah! You’re big! And you’re three! You’re super cool! My name is Sweet Berry, what’s yours! Can I be your friend, please?”
You know, deep down, that you should find this introduction very obnoxious and annoying, but the little pastry is just so damn cute you can refrain a dumb smile to form on your face instead.

>>
>>29561631
Does Litwit have any clues where in the colony we could find the mutts? And is he not bothered that we ate the corpse and soul?
Did we back all off the odds and ends?
How much do cupcakes go for in the colony, and do people want them?
>>
So what would have happened to the Cupcake, had the trio sold it to the colony? Entertainment/labour/food?
>>
>>29564489
Probably get chucked in a zoo or private collection.

Oh we should get jobs as exotic dancers in the colony.

Ask Litwit if his little group has killed anything recently. Would could grab a soul for Fangs.

The answer to Sweet Barry's question should be yes.

Ask Litwit about his contacts in the Colony. Might be a good idea to know who they are and what they do before we get there.
>>
>>29561636
Give the little sweetie bettie a tail or head pat, and the hat to wear if she wants. She so sweet though. Why would anyone want to but something like this? Can't be for sex (probably). You'd get a yeast infection. Are they for eating and alchemy? Pets? who wants to sell her?

“Of course we can be friends!” You coo, before giving the cupcake a pat on the head with the tip of your tail.
“Hihi! That tickles, misses!” Berry giggles “What are your names?”
“I’m Faze.” You cheerfully answer “And I’m Froth.” “And I’m Fangs!” You sisters gleefully answer. They too look contaminated by the cupcake’s enthusiasm.
“Woah!” She exclaims “I just made three new cool friends! I’m so happy!”
“We’re going shopping, Berry. Wanna hop on?” You present your back to the sweet pony.
“YAY! Sounds super fun!” She grins, and ride on your tail like a sugary cow-pony.

And with a living pastry on your back, you start your way toward the Colony. Just the simple fact of sharing the road with her make you feel like all your worries are melting away.

“Litwit.” You interject along the way while Fangs keep chatting with Sweet Berry “What kind of contacts at the Colony were you talking about exactly?”
“Well… People who actually want to do business with you.” He answers “And not just some crooks with fake deals to pick your pockets. That’s already a good start at the Colony.”

“And this cupcake? What kind of deal was she for?”
“It’s best not to ask these kind of things, especially if you want to believe you’re not the worst kind of person there is.” He winces “But the contact wanted an unarmed cupcake, so I’d say it’s probably not something too bad. This time…”
“This time? You’ve already hunted other creatures?”
“Yes.” He nods “We managed to catch a whole bunch of Cakealopes the other day. It made for some good money. Tough Nail must still have most of it.”
“That dog huh?” You smirk sadistically “Now that I think about it, are you not bothered by what I made to your friend’s corpse?”
Your question does seem to bother him. You remember he made his best not to look at you when you consumed the mintaur’s body. But he didn’t look that shocked about the soul.
“We… weren’t together for a long time.” He answers “And we all knew the carrier of an adventurer can end quickly. So… I guess I was prepared.”

A short while later, the portal to the Colony comes into view. You think you can see a dirt path heading toward some buildings through.
“So this is it?” You comment “Litwit!” You call “How are we gonna find the mutts who attacked my plane?”
“They camp a little away from the town.” He answers “There will be no problem finding them.”

“But, ahem…” Litwit stammers, suddenly sounding a lot more nervous “I know it might be a little sudden, but can I ask you to just…” He gulps “L-let me go? I mean, I know I said I’d be your guide and all, but you’ve already taken all my stuff and I’d really prefer if we just parted ways right now…”
Normally you’d have torn him apart right here and now. But instead, his plea just did make you feel bad for him. There’s something fishy going on, but you definitely feel like just setting him free would be the right thing to do.

>What do?
>>
>>29575173
Set the cupcake in front of a flower mint to distract her and then curl our tail around the unicorn. Time to ask him what he's not telling us.
>>
>>29575173
If he sticks around and helps like the a good unicorn he might might profit from working with us. We are planNing to kill a bunch of the dogs. Adventurer like loot right? Well there's gonna be alot of loot left when we're through.
>>
>>29575173
You want to leave, but you haven't told us where we can find your contacts.
>>
>>29575173
He promised to help us if we spared him and now he's trying to weasel out of the deal! The only reason he's not a soul in our sister's belly right now is because he was more useful alive.
>>
>>29575173
How's this: he helps us a little bit while we attack the camp of mutt's. He rides on our back and while supporting us with that shield spell of his. After we kill the mutts and take whatever they've taken from our plane, THEN we'll set Litwit free.
>>
>>29575173
Hey is it possible for either of the sisters to weild the greatsword in their mouth?

>>29575365
Doubt it.

Ask if he knows a tengu that wears a mask and weild a scythe. He's an adorable weep.

“Hey, Sweet Berry, isn’t that flower over there pretty?”
“Oh, you’re right Faze!” The cupcake exclaims before dismounting you to go examine the painfully average macaron poppy.

“Now, YOU! Didn’t you pledge to help me in exchange of… what was it again? Oh yeah! NOT BEING IN OUR BELLY?!” You loom menacingly. Yet after the blissful time you had, all of this feels very wrong, and your threatening pose ends up a being little shaky. “But since you mustered the nerve to ask… how about you help us find the mutts, and once I’m done getting back at them you can have the spoils and your freedom?”
“Well… That’s actually… not possible.” You growl audibly at his response. “Free monsters are not allowed in the Colony. And all the portals are heavily fortified on the Colony’s side to prevent any from trespassing.”

So he lied to you.
“Sounds like someone want to spend more time in my rings…”
But… somewhat you can’t bring yourself ensnare him with your body like you did earlier. Just doing about anything that could hurt this pony… Your brain just flat out refuses to hurt another right now. It’s like all your aggressiveness had been stripped off you. And your head hurts. Your sisters look about as confused as you are.

“I’m… sorry about everything.” The unicorn says, almost sobbing, and start to slowly walk away toward the portal, keeping eye contact with you.

>What do?
>>
>>29575607
It must be those souls that we ate. Well, we are a hydra, no matter what souls are inside of us! This is our body! Wrap him up and order him to tell us what fortifications are on the other side.
>>
>>29575607
WE"RE UNDER A SPELL!!
>>
>>29575607
Ok. So we apparently can't kill him. Here's an idea. Move between him and the portal and spit fire around the unicorn.
>>
>>29575607
Rage. Rage against it all. We have to try.
>>
>>29575607
You lying arsehole.
Try our hardest to overpower whatever is calming us down and burn him to a crisp.
>>
>>29575607
Lies. If he were sorry then he would let us kill those inbreed dogs that destroyed our home. Now we're homeless, or planeless.
>>
>>29575757
Lets grill him for info before we cook him.
>>
>>29575607
Spit fire at the portal and the are around it.
>>
>>29575607
We can't directly harm him.

Let's herd him away from the portal with fire.

“We’re under a spell…” You groan. “I-It must be the souls!”
But as much as you concentrate, you can’t feel any resistance coming from the soul’s power. It is still here, docile, in the back of your consciousness, but you can’t feel any will coming from it right now. It is like there’s a poison in your veins preventing your blood from burning, and instead you just feel bad for Lit Wit who lost his mate earlier.
As you try to fight whatever’s happening to you, the unicorn take the opportunity to dash toward the portal.

“G-girls… He’s running away” Fangs groans. She’s visibly under whatever’s keeping you at bay too. “I… I can’t chase him either… What should we do?”
But unfortunately, you know you won’t be able to do anything in time. You attempt to cheat your brain into trapping him in fire, but to no avail. Even breathing fire around him, or anything remotely aggressive seems impossible for you right now. And a few seconds later, the unicorn passes the portal.

“Aww…” Sweet Berry comes back next to you. “He didn’t even say goodbye… Faze? Forth? Fangs? You girls look sad…” And there she hugs you.
Her embrace soothes you greatly, and you feel the urge to hug her back.

>What do?
>>
>>29575921
Tell Berry that Litwit is a very bad pony and we need her to stop him.
>>
>>29575921
IT"S THE CUPCAKE!!
Because of her one of the monsters that destroyed our plane got away!
>>
>>29575921
Perhaps Berry is the reason why we can't be aggressive? After all, we've been getting weird urges since she woke up.

Think of a new plan, since it's obvious we can't go into the portal. Also, swear to kill Litwit if we see him again.
>>
>>29575934
>And a few seconds later, the unicorn passes the portal.
To late.
>>
>>29575921
Hug her
Break down. He he lied to us and we could not even stop him from walking away.

Lets head south to get around the river goving the lake a wide berth to avoid the leviathan then make our way to the stell hell

Wait better idea go back to the woods and check out that Cathedral.
>>
>>29575921
Ask Berry if she can stand some distance away for a bit. I wanna test something.
>>
>>29575921
Maybe eating her will help?
Just kidding, but let's find out what this is. Maybe it's the proximity to the city? Maybe it's some magical barrier that causes this. We need to find out and murder something.

You begin to suspect your sugary friend might be the cause of your predicament, but you can’t feel an ounce of malice coming from her. Or is it part of trick?

Still, you hug the cupcake back.
“B-berry…” You sob in frustration “That pony was a very bad person. He did horrible things, and lid to us! And now he ran away…”
“Forget it.” The cupcake gently pats your face “I’m sure he didn’t mean to hurt you. And holding a grudge will not make you any happier in the end.”
“But… Now we can’t go to the Colony.” You say “What am I gonna do?”
“It’s alright, you’re a bunch of big girls! You’ll find a way. She encourages you “I can bring you to my tribe if you want in the meantime.”
The offer isn’t bad, but you doubt they’ll have any food for you.

“Hum… First, can you get a little away from me?” You ask her “I’d like to check something.”
“Uh… Alright.” Sweet Berry answers, puzzled, and walkq a couple dozen feet away from you.

The effect isn’t immediate, but after a minute or so, you feel the numbness in your mind starting to dissipate. But you’re gonna need a dozen more minutes away from the cupcake to be normal again.
And where should you head next. Steel Hell? The Cathedral? The cupcake’s tribe?

>What do?
>>
>>29576335
We may as well check out the tribe so we know where it is and have some friendly place to go to if we ever come back to this plane. Try not to stay to long though.

We should probably check out the Cathedral once we are done with the tribe.
>>
>>29576335
Being near you makes it hard to think clearly. I don't think it's intentional. Might just be something like pheromones.
>>
>>29576335
This smells like a trap. A being that make you passive automatically wanting to take you back to its tribe of things that would do that. This is the makings of a horror story. Ask the cupcake what happens to things she takes back to her tribe.
>>
>>29576335
I think Cupcakes have some kind of passive anti-hostility ability when they're conscious. Ask her to come back for a few minutes then tell her to back away again for a few more minutes to confirm our theory.
>>29576372
That could POTENTIALLY be a bad idea. If, IF, the food cow-ponies and cantaloupes are the cause of this then there's no use for being there.
We can't fight with Berry around. We're sitting ducks. Ditch her and head back through the cathedral, and make our way to the cathedral.
>>
>>29576335
Sure, let's go to her tribe.
>>
>>29576335
Tell Berry that being with her isn't safe for us.
>>
>>29576335
Let head to the cathedral, make sure to say goodbye to sweet berry.

You’re having apprehensions about following the cupcake to her tribe. If the mere presence of one of them already numbs your mind like that, a whole tribe might make you completely brain dead…

“Ahem…” You ask “What does usually happen to people who get to your tribe?”
“Uh… Nothing?” Sweet Berry tilts her head as she ponders “They usually just stay for a while and leave. Gramps just said not to invite outsiders.”
“Okay. Can you come a little closer, please?”

The cupcake abides in silence, walking until she’s just under your nose. Once again, it takes a few seconds, but you definitely feel her influence taking a hold on you again.

“It is probably her smell” Froth comments. “That would explain the masks in the outsiders’ stuff. Sweet Berry?”
“Yes?”
“Did the outsiders have this…” She show her the masks “…on their faces when you met them the first time?”
“Uh-huh!” She nods and giggles “It was funny! They looked like they each had an elephant’s trunk!”
“Oh! So that’s the bottom of it…” Fangs exclaims “Well… I guess I wouldn’t mind visiting the cupcake tribe then. And after everything that happened today, I wouldn’t mind a friendly place to rest.”
You’ve got to admit, the hours of peripheries are starting to weight on your shoulders. So much to Sweet Berry’s joy, you accept her offer and follow her to her home.

About half an hour of walking south east, a couple of huts made of… crepes come into view. You count half-a dozen cupcakes. Just like Sweet Berry, they all let out admiring “Ohs” and “Ahs” at your sight. They come to greet you, all smiles, and the two cupcake foals immediately bombard you with questions about yourself.

“Come on, everyone! You’re going to make our guest feel self-conscious.” An older cupcake steps forth, and the others respectfully step aside to let him come in front of you “Greetings, Hydra, I am Cinnanana, the elder of this tribe. And I welcome you to our humble stay.”

“It’s an honour to be your guest! I’m Faze. And these are Fangs and Froth” The three of you bow to the aged pastry for the astonishing display of cuteness of his people.
“You guys are really nice!” Fangs cheerfully adds, as she bends to nuzzle Cinnanana and tickle him with her tongue.
“Hehaha!” The elder laughs heartily “Watch out not to take a bite! Just like all this plane, our batter is not the healthiest thing for you to eat.”

“Ahem… I do not mean to break the mood…” You say embarrassedly “But I’ve got to ask. How do you guys deal with outsiders actually? If they’re too much of a problem for you we could set an ambush and… play with them a little.”
“I see...” His smile is replaced with a more neutral expression. “Well, follow me in my tent. There we can talk more comfortably.”

You follow the old cupcake inside his tent, or… sorta, since it wasn’t meant to have someone your size inside. You take the occasion to check the gas masks you collected. You think you could fit them around your nose and mouth, but covering your eyes would be a lost cause.

“I understand your concerns about outsiders.” The old pastry declares after sitting down, speaking in a more serious tone. “They have brought many troubles to our lands. Especially since the Colony became what it is as of today…”
“But I think you can understand that we cupcakes cannot partake in anything which aims at hurting another. I and my tribe may look naive to you, but the fact is that the syrup in our veins can only lead us along pacifist paths. And as the elder, I’ve done what I could to help my people embrace this way of life. And I won’t make an exception for outsiders.”

“But they’re… dangerous!” Froth retorts “And a group of them had captured Sweet Berry! If it weren’t for us she’d have been sold at the Colony by now.”
>>
>>29583501
“Outsiders have taken measures to fight even our peaceful ways. That is true.” Cinnanana nods severely “And I thank you for saving Sweet Berry. But just like everyone, a heart beats under their skin. And with the right encouragements, even they have trouble bringing themselves to hurt someone not willing to fight.”

“You… seem to know a lot about the Colony.” You say “What happens to Cupcakes that go there? Is it really as well defended as what I’ve heard?”
“The Colony…” He lets out a tired huff “A tragedy, really. And with the amount of suffering and violence this place holds right now, I can imagine the order being help up with an iron hoof. That place is currently governed by an immoral power, which feeds of despair and revels in agony. Anything and anyone can be merchandise here. Should a cupcake, or anyone else be dragged in here by outsiders, their fate would instantly slip out of their hooves...”

>What do?

Only post for tonightsee you tomorrow
>>
>>29583505
Tell him about what the outsiders did to our plane.
>>
>>29583505
Ask him about Steel Hell and Berserk Mountains. Can he draw us a map of the place? Can he write some details about the denizens that live there?
>>
>>29583505
Ask him what the colony used to be like.
>>
>>29583505
Ask about the Sugar Leviathan at the bottom of the lake. Is that the keeper of this plane?

Sounds like trouble.

The little fellas playing on your tail tickle you, but you find it way to cute shake them off.
“You seem to know a lot.” You tell the old pastry “What did the Colony use to be like?”
“Long ago, it was a welcoming plane.” He answer, a hint of nostalgia in his voice “A grassy plain, with clear rivers and a few fruit bearing trees. It wasn’t long before some outsiders started using this plane as a haven in their dangerous expeditions…”
“Their dangerous expeditions?” You hiss “Does destroying our home plane counts as one of these? Because I’m not going to feel bad for any of them!”

Cinnanana lets out a saddened sigh.
“I can imagine… Well, no actually.” He shakes his head “I’m sorry. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through. But hear me out. I’ve had the occasion to discuss with some outsiders a while back. And if half of what they told me is true, most of the outsiders we see are pariahs in their home plane, and they are desperate to find another place to live.”
“So they sent their filthiest criminals to our homes?” Froth growls “All the more reasons to give them a lesson when the time comes!”
“From a simple halt, the Colony became a trading post” Cinnanana continue his story “and that’s when things started to go bad…”

“I…” He remembers “Call me deluded if you want, but over a short time, it felt like the mind of outsiders form the Colony had been poisoned by greed and cruelty. They started hunting natives of other planes for obscure uses, and it suddenly became a lot harder to make them listen to any kind of reason.” He winces. “Of course, they raised defences as some retaliated to their attacks. And here we are today…”
>>
>>29590156
“I see…” You nod. Silently doubting a little about the reason the outsiders became more violent not being them getting cocky when they found themselves with a nearby stronghold. “Well, the thing is we’re searching for a new home since your plane is gone. Since the Colony’s not an option… Can you tell us what you know about Steel Hell and Berserk Mountains?”

“Both Berserk Mountains and Steel Hell are places a cupcake ought not to go.” The old cupcake answers “The first one is covered in a strange mist which exacerbates the aggressiveness and violence of those who breathe it. So the opposite of what our syrup does. And as a result, only the biggest and most violent creatures thrive in the Berserk Mountains.”
“And Steel Hell is even worst. There’s no sun in here, and lava all over the place. Only golems, elementals and dragons feel at home in here. Just thinking about it is making my filling shiver. Sorry, but I don’t know any more about these places.”

“That… doesn’t sound very good…” Fangs pouts.
“Thanks for warning me.” You answer the old pastry. “But I’ve got to tell, I’m still concerned. I’ve heard that the Sugar Leviathan was the keeper of this plane. Is that true? Do you think outsiders could kill it like they killed the keeper of our plane?”
“Indeed the Leviathan is the keeper of this plane, and I may be wrong, but I do not fear for him.” Cinnanana declares “First, because I have yet to see outsiders having a reliable way to fight inside fudge, and second because destroying this plane would close a lot of doors for the Colony, since they can reach a great number of other planes through the Cakewalk. After all, this plane isn’t very dangerous for them in the end.”
>>
>>29590162
“And what obout Cakealopes? And fudge golems? How do they fare against outsiders?”
“Well… Cakealopes try to stay away from the outsiders and outsiders try to stay away from fudge golems. It’s been a while I haven’t discussed with any of them…”

“Hum… And, on another hoof, do you think we could trade?” You change the subject “I’m looking for any kind of stuff that could help me and my sisters in our travels.”
“I fear I do not have much that could help you.” He shakes his head, sounding a little more cheerful now that you’re done with the grittiest subjects. “Unless you’d like a crepe like this one as a blanket?” He pats the fabric of the tent. “They may not look like it, but they’re very comfortable. I’d gladly give you one as a gift.”
Indeed it keeps the warmth in, you notice, but also feels a little… greasy.

>What do?
>>
>>29590156
>>29590162
>>29590169
Both Beserk Mountains and Steel Hell sound like shitholes that we should avoid if we can.
>>
>>29590169
Ew, no thanks. We can always go back to the Unearthed Forest and ask the skeletons about the Silent Cathedral and Winter Calm.
>>
>>29590169
I'm curious about Steel Hell. Did Faze eating that one soul make her slightly fireproof? Possible seeing as she doesn't burn her face when spitting fire.
Test out of fire resistance by heading some distance away from their tribe camp and spitting fire on the ground, then one of our sisters touch the fire to see if they burn. They shouldn't complain due to our healing factor.
>>
>>29590190
Lets not forget the kind of perspective they have. Also, such dangerous places could have strong allies.
>>
>>29590169
Well there's always the option of camping near the portal and consuming anyone who passes through.
>>
>>29590169
Ask if she knows anything about the silent Cathedral.
Accept the blanket.
>>
>>29590338
>Indeed it keeps the warmth in, you notice, but also feels a little… greasy.
Dude no. Why don't we go back to the skeletons instead and trade with them?

Ok hey. If we get enough trading goods, maybe we can get someone to make use something to wear in cold invironments.
>>
>>29590433
We could trade the blanket for something.
>>
>>29590580
I'm pretty sure the skeletons wouldn't want a crepe blanket. It would make a very good trap.
>>
>>29590660
We should probably take it just to keep up apperances but I do think it will be useful.
>>
>>29591135
Also we might be able to trade it with somebody else.

Nope, there’s no wat you’re going to be comfy sleeping in such a papillote. You’ve got better chance trying to trade with the skeletons again. Actually, you could take the crepe to trade it later since he’s giving it for free. But taking a gift just so you can sell it… are you really that kind of pony?
“Ahem… I thank you, I’ll gladly accept it.” You politely state. “But by any chance, do you happen to know anything about the Silent Cathedral?”

“Ah, yes! It’s located beyond the unearthed woods right?” The old pony says, his memory of the place sounding quite sharp “I remember hearing this plane was rather tame, a forest with only a few slimes to bother travellers. I think only the gargoyles living inside the actual cathedral, which gave its name to the plane, could mean trouble for you. They have a very… vindictive conception of justice, but they rarely come out of their sacred halls.”
“Ah! Finally a plane which doesn’t sound like a complete hassle!” Froth smiles.
“True, but Steel Hell might bring us greater opportunities.” You retort “We could find powerful allies there.”
“Heee… Can’t we wait until tomorrow?” Fangs complains “I’m getting tired…”

You’ve got to admit, you’re starting to feel like going for a good night of sleep. And you can safely say the cupcake’s influence has nothing to do with that. The sun is also starting to fall behind the horizon.
“Unfortunately, your tents are too small for you.” Cinnanana says “And we won’t have your crepe ready until tomorrow.
“Th-that’s too bad!” You lie. The old cupcake doesn’t seem to notice. “I really wanted to test it out. But don’t sweat it, we’re used to sleeping in the wild.”
>>
>>29591222
Before thinking about going to bed, you decide to experiment a little more with your fire. After taking a little distance with the friendly pastries, you use your flaming breath on one of the cotton candy bush.

When you approach your snoot, the fire doesn’t burn you, as you suspected. It’s still uncomfortably hot, though. If you end up settling for Steel Hell, you suspect you could handle a few splashes of lava, but diving inside would probably still be out of the question.
You next try to dip your tail inside the fire. And after convincing your sisters, the three of you are pleasantly surprised to discover your common body is about as fire resistant as your head. Then, this could also mean…
“Fangs!” You turn to your sister “Get your face inside the fire.” You order her.
After a couple of protestations, your sister timidly gets her snout closer and closer to the flame, until she finally plunges inside. And you end up discovering she’s about as resistant as you are.
“Well that’s convenient!” She beams “These souls do affect us all to some extent after all!”

>What do?
>>
see you tomorrow
>>
>>29591228
Ask if she has any idea what that second soul did if it might affect us all.
>>
>>29591228
Do you girls no what this means? We'll be resistant to those fire sticks those stupid mutts have. Won't they be surprised once we get a grip on them.
>>
Looks like it's gonna be time to kick ass and take names.
>>
>>29592139
Bump
>>
>>29591386
I doubt we are that resistant.
Presumebly it will make us take a little less damage but it will still fuck us up if we are right on top of it.
>>
>>29593003
Well so long as we're not just staying there and taking it like a bitch we should be fine.
>>
>>29593003
We could go back to the skeletons in the Unearthed Forest and put that theory to the test.
>>
>>29591222
I guess that explains why Froth only felt a tad stronger. Not that some time has passed let's ask her about what she didn't to talk about.
>>
>>29593781
>I guess that explains why Froth only felt a tad stronger
How so?
>>
>>29590169
Ask if there are ANY other planes accessible from cakewalk.
>>
>>29594070
Good question anon.

hey
>>
>>29591259
>>29591386
>>29593781

“How great is that, girls?” You smile to yourself “These mutts will barely be able to put a scratch on us with their flame sticks now!”
“Yeah! I can’t wait to see their stupid faces when they realise they don’t even have half a chance!” Froth flashes a cruel grin.
“Speaking of which, Froth” You turn to your sister “Are you sure you didn’t get anything else from the soul you ate? Because if it benefits us to, I’d like to know more about it.”

“Well, actually…” She smirks.
And before you can react, your sister whips her head to head-butt you square in the temple. There, the meaning of ‘a tad stronger’ hits you. And it hits you A TAD HARDER than you expected, and you feel all your cervical vertebras unhinging from the sheer force of the impact while your face hits the grounds as incredibly hihg speed.
“A tad stronger feels A LOT better than it did earlier!” Froth exults while you shakily and painfully pick up your jaw from the ground. “I say, you girls get the privilege of not getting mauled when I flex hard!” You growl. You REALLY felt that. The cupcake’s influence must have had damped her will to try out the guns until now, but you’ve spent enough time away from them for allowing the three of you to go wild again.

“Oh… Wh-what a lively display.” You hear the voice of the elder behind you, sounding a little intimidated. “Ah… I do not mean to interrupt, but we cupcake go to sleep at this hour. So, if you intend to be noisy, I humbly ask you to go a little further from the village.”
“Er… Sorry about that, Cinnanana” You answer, a little embarrassed “Can I ask you one more thing, though?” He nods “Thanks. Uhm, aside from the Unearthed Wood, Colony, Steel Hell and Berserk Mountains, is there no other planes you can go to from the Cakewalk?”

“Well I’m afraid not.” The elder shakes his head “Unless you plan on trying your luck in Limbo.”

“Limbo?” Fangs asks, not sounding very enthusiastic about this new destination. “What’s that even?”
“The place where everything than falls off the planes go. I’ve only heard rumours from outsiders at the time.” He tells you “After a very long fall, you end up in a chaotic plane, where one-way portals to random locations appeared everywhere.”

“They said Limbo wasn’t the most dangerous place once you had survived the fall. And expeditions were even organised there at some point, as the portals there could send you anywhere. They hoped to discover new planes that way.”
You never really asked yourself what would happen if you fell from a plane. But now you’ve got the answer. But, you still haven’t decided where you’re actually gonna go.

>What do?
>>
>>29596383
Fucking, bit her neck and spit fire. Bitch couldn't have tried hitting something else?
>>
>>29596383
We should focus on a place to stay first, so lets head over to the Silent Cathedral.
>>
>>29596383
Let us rest fist so we are ready for our trip to the next plane
>>
>>29596383
I can only imagine the fights the girls get into.
>>
>>29596376
Head butt her back.
>>
>>29596383
As soon as we get some distance we should hit our sister.
>>
>>29596383
Lets rest up then head for the silent Cathedral in the morning.
>>
>>29596376
Berserk Mountains would be a real bother since everyone would be agro-ed. Steel Hell is a potential maybe thanks heat resistance.

“Well… If we want to find a plane to gather our strength, I suggest heading for the Silent Cathedral. And maybe Steel Hell later.”
“Yeah, but tomorrow!” Fangs adds. Froth also nods to that.
“Then, I’ll be wishing the three of you a pleasant night.” Cinnanana bows, and so do you as you tell him good night yourselves.

“Now…” You hiss once the cupcake disappeared in his tent. “Couldn’t you have tried hitting anything ELSE?”
You give back Froth the head-butt she deserves. However, she barely bulges, even though you attacked with all you might. And you think you hurt yourself more than her actually…
“Eh? What’s the problem, sis?” Froth says, smugly, while she easily deflects your attempts at catching her neck in your teeth “You have something you wanna tell me? Or do you want to snuggle or something?”
“Grrrr…” You shamefully retreat for now. You can’t really avoid close combat with your sister, and since you never was that faster than her and that now she’s a tad stronger than you... “Nah, forget it. Let’s sleep.”

You find a couple of bushes which provide enough cover for you to sleep comfortably. Rather tired from the events of today, you drift off rather quickly.

You plunge your spoon into the bowl of formless gruel. Only to immediately pull it away in disgust.

It’s undercooked, just like everything that bitch ever does. You bet she stopped making any effort about food long ago.
“Hey, what’s your problem?” She snarls like the ugly witch she is “I’m not giving you another if you don’t like it, so eat!”

He starts to scream. The only thing he ever does. You hate him so much too.
“Great, now you woke him with your antics!” She berates you “If you’re not eating, make yourself useful and take out the trash while I calm him.”

>What do?
>>
>>29597002
Take out the trash.
Then if she is still acting like a bitch when we come back fucking murder that cunt with the trash can lid.

Silently, you rise and obey. In this war of attrition you waged on each other, you were the first one to grow tired of poisoning each other’s life. If only the hassle of getting away from her was half of what it is, you’d have packed your stuff a long time ago.

The air outside is cold. Such is night in the Ashen Desert.
Here you can have a look at the stupid shack she convinced you to build at the time. Who lives in a wooden house in the desert? It’s so hot in the day, and sand gets everywhere… How could you fall for her ‘It’s so original and pretty?’

In your frustration, you whip out a smoke from your pocket, long your lighter.
Ah… A small moment of respite.
As you let out a huff of smoke, you contemplate the burning fibres at the end of your roll.
You were always the kind of guy to stare blankly at fire for hours. It’s just so mesmerising… Even mere embers seem alive, the red flames pulsating like a living heart.

Fire, always dancing… If only you could just freely whirl around like fire… Maybe you’d be happy. But this stupid life you’ve entangled yourself into won’t let you do any of that.

You just stare at the fire. The colours are so intoxicating the time seems to stop. What wouldn’t you give to be as free as fire…

But right now, in that situation… Just drinking your problems away sounds… good? You’re not sure. Something doesn’t sound right with that. But… Oh, well…
You leave the wall you were leaning on, and head to town.
And as you do so, you feel yourself peeling away from this reality.

You wake up with a headache and a sore throat. The first thing you see is the sun starting to rise from the horizon. You sister slowly shift as they awaken too.
“Uhg…” Froth groans “Remind me not to eat minotaur after noon. Gives me weird dreams…”
“Hey, look!” Fangs exclaims “Looks like the cupcakes are early risers!”

Indeed, you can see the cupcakes around a fire in the distance. It looks like they’re cheerfully in the process of making a big crepe, carefully adding more and more dough to the already expansive yellow disk. Sweet Berry also waves to you as she notices the three of you waking up.

>What do?

see you tomorrow

Headbut Froth. That was obviously that first soul we ate you idiot maybe we can use our dreams to find clues. If this guys dreams stop we will have to find more.
>>
>>29598002
We already tried that with little effect. Don't
>>
>>29598107
That is precisely why I want to do it. It will be funny to forget.

>>29597788
Wow they're....cooking it.

>>29599103

Before we get any closer try biting your tail. If Froth's strength and resilience does not transfer to our body the congratulations. She'll be the meat shield and soak up all the damage to or body.

>>29599513
Also amuse us.
>>
>>29599632

>>29600184
No but it would be funny for somebody else to see.
We the players would be the ones laughing not the mc.

“It’s the soul you ate, Froth…” You prepare to give the stupid snake a good head-butt… but then you remember how that turned out yesterday, so you refrain yourself, the frustration making you extra grumpy.
“Oh… Yeah, that makes sense.” Froth obliviously ponders “So you’ve been dreaming about being a dog?”
“Something like that…” You nod.
“So… souls give you dream about the past life of the person?” Fangs says, trying not to be completely left out of the conversation.
“That a possibility.” You nod “And speaking about theories…”

You proceed to bite the tip of your tail. As you thought and much to your sister’s displeasure, that part of you isn’t any more resistant that before.
“Ouch!” Froth blurts “Faze! What was that for?”
“Just a little testing.” You coldly hiss “And congratulations, Froth! Since you’re more resistant, you’re going to be our official meat shield from now on…”
“Huh? Ah… Ahahaha!” She lets out a condescending laugh “Look at you being green with envy! Don’t worry, little Faze…” She mocks you “Big sis Froth is gonna protect you from the baddies… And tear them apart while she’s at it!”
You growl. You’re not exactly satisfied with what just a little more strength did to your sister’s ego. Maybe getting a little closer to the cupcakes will improve your mood.

“Huh…” A puzzled Fangs says as you come close to the cupcakes “So you’re making a crepe by cooking it?”
“Of course miss Fangs!” Sweet Berry cheerfully answers for a greeting “How else do you want to make a crepe?”
And to that question, there wasn’t anything to answer but an awkward giggle.
>>
>>29606700
“I thank you again.” You tell the cooks “I didn’t realise this was so much work for you.”
“Don’t sweet it, making crepes is fun! We’re finished I think.” The turns to the cupcake who’s been adding the dough, which returns a grinning nod. Sweet Berry turns to you again “Do you wanna try it? Rolling yourself in a hot crepe is the best thing ever!”

>What do?

Sure lets do it.

Maybe later. As. Nice. As that sounds we should really be heading out.
Hey who want to feed the mimic castle the crepe?
>>
>>29606730
I know you guys do not want to use it long term but could it really hurt that much to just wrap ourselves in it once.
>>
>>29606704
It would be rude not to.

“Ahem…” You’re not exactly excited at the idea, but it would just be too rude not to accept “Alright, alright, let’s try… the crepe.”
You take the flappy disk or dough, and proceeds to cover yourself with it. Even if it isn’t exactly cold right now, the heat of the freshly cooked cover is very pleasant on your skin. Almost pleasant enough to make you forget you’re feeling like a sausage in greasy bread bun right now.

“It’s the greatest isn’t it?” Sweet Berry beams.
“O-of course!” You say “I… uh… I don’t know how I managed without a crepe so far. Thanks to you again. This will aid us greatly in our travels.”
“Aw, don’t worry, it’s our pleasure!”
And thus the three cupcakes proceed to give you a collective hug. Which… isn’t too bad you’ve gotta admit.

Shortly after, they’re waving goodbye to you while you leave their little village.
“Take care on your trip!” Sweet Berry waves as you depart. “And come say hi some time again!”
“I sure will!” Fangs answers.

Your next destination is the Silent Cathedral. For that, you first return to the Unearthed Woods. You travel for around half an hour through the Cakewalk in silence, and you don’t encounter anything worth mentioning on the way.
After passing the portal, once again, you find yourself in the gloomy forest.

“Alright!” Fangs says while struggling to handle the journal with her mouth alone. “Silent Cathedral is at the other end of the Unearthed Woods. And the quickest way make us go near that haunted castle or whatever mimic it might be. I’m not really sure it’s a good idea to go near that thing…”
“Quit being a coward!” Froth groans in annoyance “I remember the skeletons said it was only a problem is we went inside when they read the page. Since we won’t be doing that, let’s just take the fastest way.”

>What do?
>>
>>29607275
lets head backwards along the path we came by to where we first arrived on this plane that is a path we know then from there make our way to the cathedral.
>>
>>29607275
Well let's head to the skeletons moat to trade.
Hey are you moving the cage cart? Did we take it with us?
>>
>>29607305
We could just travel along the edge of the plane. Oh!
>>29607275
I wonder if zombies would be interested in the crepe. They can't die from food poisoning.
>>
>>29607460
fuck that I wanna keep this crepe and mount it on the wall of our new home.
>>
>>29607500
Pfffft, ha! Dude it's gonna spoil long before we get a mantle to hang it over.

“Let’s avoid useless trouble.” You declare. “We’ll get to the portal by following the edge of the plane, from the south and then west sides. Also we won’t get lost like that”
Froth sighs, but it doesn’t look like she’ll go against this.

The idea of seeking the skeletons to trade again brushes over your mind. But… You’re not even sure they would have anything worth trading for this time, and the same could be said about a zombie. These guys probably have little to trade too…
And that crepe is sort of a souvenir, now… And just like everything from the Cakewalk, you doubt it’ll spoil. Maybe that’s why everything from that plane is poisonous actually.
The cage wagon was too much of a hassle to carry around, so you left it behind. You still have the rest of the outsiders’ stuff though.

You head south a little, until you can some light coming through the trees, showing that the edge on the woods, and also the plane if the map is right, might be near. A slight slope also indicates you’re close the limit of the solid ground in that reality.
From there, you decide to head west.

“Hey, I see something girls.” Froth whisper after a few dozen minutes of traveling.
You turn to see what it is about. And indeed, northwest from where you are, you can see a strange blue shimmering moving in-between the trees. As usual, the place is silent, but you think whatever this is, it’s slowly coming closer from you.

>What do?
>>
>>29607753
Could be a ghost. What do you girls think?
>>
>>29607753
Let's take a peak
>>
>>29607753
Is this the place on the map where all the ghosts congregate on this plane?

“What do you think, girls? A ghost?” You whisper back. But in the dread silence of the woods it feels like you’re making a ruckus already.
“Probably.” Fangs says. “I don’t think zombies or skeletons are gonna glow like that. And they’d make noise…”
“Uhm.” You nod. “There shouldn’t be anything special around here, right? No… ghost convergence point or something?”
“Uh-uh.” Froth shakes her head.
“Alright.” You declare “That thing is on our way, let’s investigate.”

It’ll take more than dancing light to frighten you. You think you’re way more frightening than any ghost actually.
You make you way past the gnarled branches, heading straight for the strange light. As you approaches you start to feel an ominous presence, and air has become cold enough for you to see your breath in front of you. Somewhat, the amount of light piercing through the foliage has also diminished.

And suddenly between the trees, you can see the source of the light.
A shiver runs down your spine. A giant bundle of bones, engulfed in fleeting blues flames is crawling in your direction. The thing looks like a twisted quadruped, almost insectoid by the way its limbs bend in unnatural yet precise motions. The whole body is covered in threatening bone spikes, and the front members of that abomination are heavy enough to destroy trees they steps in their reckless advance.

And when your eyes meet the empty orbits of the thing, you feel a wall break, and suddenly the sickening sounds of bones rattling and creaking, coupled with the whines of damned souls along with the sound of wood breaking under the weight of the creature fills your hears.

The abomination is making its way toward you. Should it be standing on its hind legs, it would be roughly the same size as you are.

>What do?
>>
>>29608341
See if it's willing to communicate. Could be unintelligent and just attack anything it comes across so we should be ready for a fight regardless.
>>
>>29608341
Try and put a brave face on, this might be the guardian of this plains.
>>
>>29608341
Slowly advance. Froth, get ready to headbutt, I'll spit fire.
>>
>>29608341
Say hello.
>>
>>29608341
Spit fire in front of it to see if it will deter from further confrontation.

For a second, the idea this thing being the keeper of this planes crosses your mind. But you remember a totally different feeling from when you had to deal with the keeper of your own plane. A certain impression of grandeur emanated from him, and you could physically feel his commotion with the world. And while the abomination definitely has an aura, there’s no comparison in terms of power and nature.

“Froth!” You call.
“Leave that thing to me!” She declares with a predatory grin, and your body start to approach the creature, Forth’s head leading the way.

“Hey, ahem… H-hello brethren? Can you understand me? We’re just passing through.” You try to communicate with the creature.
“Quit it Faze, you can clearly see that thing is is –AURGh!” Froth is brutally interrupted as a torrent of blue fire from the mouth of the creature hits her square in the face. Even from where you are, you feel incredible… cold wash over you, and your eyes sting as part of them instantly freezes.

You retaliate with a breath of your own fire. The creatures let out an ear-shattering screech as the fire hits it in the face. It swiftly jumps back behind the trees, taking cover to get a chance to extinguish the fire which is quickly taking a hold on his dry carcass.
Froth is in a state of shock, her whole face frozen solid in an expression of pain.
“Oh Boy! I think we should run!” Fangs utters in panic “We have a chance right now, and there’s no way fighting this thing is worth the risk.”

>What do?
>>
>>29609153
Fire seemed particularly effective against this thing we can probably keep it at bay.
>>
>>29609153
Run, even with fire this thing can still can mess us up at a longer rang.
>>
>>29609065
Good lord please no stuttering.
>>
>>29609153
Seems like fire really hurts it. Also, I get the feeling that something like this should be stopped before it can cause problems.
>>
>>29609153
If you say so Fangs
Run away spewing little bursts of flame to keep him behind cover.
>>
>>29609153
Faze and Froth switch places of offense and defense. After we thaw Froth out with fire. Maybe Froth can get the greatsword as amuch improvised shield to take the hit of its chilling breath, or maybe Faze can counter it with her gout our fire. Fangs can have control of the body to guide us away.
>>
>>29609153
Kill it. Kill it with fire.

“No, we stay.” You declare “Fire is effective. We can defeat him if I can set him on fire! And such an abomination must be stopped. I feel it could become a bigger problem in the future…”
Fangs gulps in response, but seems to steel her resolve and picks out the minoutaur’s sword from your backpack. You’d really like to use a shield, but the minotaur only had a protective armlet and it doesn’t cover half your face. There’s no other obvious gear you could use as a shield.

Before the abomination can attack you more, you retreat just a little. And while keeping your eyes on the thing, you use your flames to thaw Froth’s head. She falls limp once you’re done. She’s gonna need time before being ready to fight again.

A menacing screech informs you the creature is on the move again. It looks like he successfully got rid of the fire without taking any serious damage. You manage to keep track of its agile form, jumping between trees and bend them in an earthy ruckus. Another flash of blue comes rushing on you, but time you’re ready. You use your own flames to counter the attack, both your and the creatures flames nullifying each other in the hiss of vaporizing water. It seems like you have similar power in these fields. Unfortunately, the Unearthed Woods are too humid of a plane for your flames to start a bigger fire.
You keep exchanging jets of flames for a while, the creature circling around you. It is definitely more agile on these woods than you are. But it’s also weary of your attacks, and doesn’t leave the cover of the thickset for more than a second each time.

Just like you, it feels like the creature it trying to come up with a plan to get the upper hoof in this fight.

Froth is slowly coming back to her senses. But even with your intervention, the kind of damage she received slows down her regeneration.

>What do?
>>
>>29609669
He's knocked down a bunch of trees, so how about a makeshift club.
>>
>>29609669

>>29609669
>protective armlet
Minotaur arms are thick as fuck, so we could unwrap/buckle/tie them to fit them on Faze and Fangs necks. After this creature.
>>
>>29609669
So its wants to play? Alright. We'll play. Give Froth a healing potion, then give her the greatsword.
We'll challenge the abomination to another contest of flame and charge it. If we manage to get closer, Froth, or Fangs if she still has the sword, will swing at it. If that's not going to work then let's see if we can trap it in a ring of fire by burning the trees. That should deal with the humidity IF the trees are able to catch fire. Maybe aim at the tree tops?
>>
>>29609669
Multitasking through teamwork is possible. One of the sisters can light the end of the 'candle,' 'while' Faze is spitting fire. Then they could throw it.

“Fangs! Put the armlet around your neck! And get Froth to drink that healing potion thing.” You order your sister. “We’re gonna get on the offensive!”
She obeys. You wish you were close enough to fall back to the skeleton’s motte, but it’s way too far for you to even think about it. You can’t do much besides keeping the abomination at bay with your fire right now.

To deal with the creature, you aim your breath at the treetops whenever you have the occasion, attempting to set the smaller branches and foliage on fire. You have some success. But the creatures jumps around and harasses you enough with his own fire to remain away from any dangerous area you might set up.

Still, realising you’re trying to turn the field at your advantage, the abomination acts first. With uncanny agility, the thing leaps behind an old stump. And while screaming like raging death, the abomination uses both arms to uproot the stump and sends it flying fast toward you and your sisters. In the same motion, the abomination pounce toward you, maw open, menacing to come in close combat right after the stumps hits you.

You only have an instant to react. You think Froth is moments away from fully regaining consciousness. From what you feel around your neck, Fangs seems ready to strike with the sword. You don’t have time to say anything or look at her, though.

>What do?

“Duck!” You call at your sister’s attention.
You dive, narrowly avoiding the stump. But this leaves you in a precarious position for a crucial instant. You know at this point you won’t be able to avoid the creature, so you unleash a torrent of flame on it. While it does connect, the bone horror doesn’t let fire slow it down this time. And you don’t have any strength to resist the abomination’s charge, the air being knocked out of your lungs as it collides with you.

Before you can recover, the thing bites you in the chest, and you feel cold spread in your veins like a deadly venom. As panic was taking a hoof inside your mind, the flash of a sword piercing bones saves you. The jaw of the bone creature is effectively severed by the blow you sister inflicted. The abomination recoils in pain, finally giving you some room to breathe.
“W-what the…” Froth seems to finally have come to her senses, and to feel the painful frozen wound on your chest which keeps your breathing short. “How did you girls let that thing get us in such a bad shape!? Uhg… forget it! Let’s end this!”

The creature was a little shocked by the loss of its lower row of teeth, and fire is spreading on its body, but it seems ready to pounce again, blue fire oozing uncontrollably from its damaged head.

>What do?
>>
>>29616828
Retreat I don't think we can beat this thing.
>>
see you tomorrow
>>
>>29616887
nah we got this
>>
>>29616828
We should end this quickly, because that wound on our chest is probably going to have some horrible spreading effect if we don't tend to it soon.

Dodge like a matador and then decapitate the creature the next time it pounces.
>>
>>29617749
>>
>>29616828
Faze should equip the other bracer and try dealing with the frost mark. Maybe try thawing it out. I'm not too worried about it spitting a concentrated amount of flame since it lost its jaw. It'll be huffing and puffing everywhere. Now how's the surrounding fire going?
>>
>>29618991
The minotaur only had 1 bracer I think
>>
>>29617563
I feel we have more sevear injurys.
>>
>>29619113
Damn, you're right.
>>
Wut
>>
>>29617563
>>29617749
>>29618991
The idea of running away crosses your mind, but you’re too close, literally and figuratively, to let it go now.
“Get ready to dodge!” You command. “We’re gonna pop that skull off!”
“Yeah, leave it to me!” Froth cockily bears her teeth.

And the abomination doesn’t make you wait. Once again, its hind legs launch it toward you with a strength that should not be possible for bare bones. But this time, you’re prepared.
With a swift movement to the side, the creature ends up facing a confident Froth. With her newfound strength, your sister catches the arm or the creature in her maw and interrupts its charge, slamming it on the ground. Taking advantage of Froth’s assault. Fangs drives her sword into the back of the head of the abomination, which start screeching in what you hope is agony. And with a powerful twist of the blade, the neck of the bony abomination explodes in a rain of splinters, and its skull is sent tumbling on the dirt.

The beheaded body of the abomination shakes erratically. And as blue flames on its body peter out, your own fire start to burn the body of the creature unnaturally fast. Only half a minute later, there’s on a pile of ashes left from the body, and the skull of the creature lies inert on the ground, a few steps away from you.

It feels like a burden has just been lifted from the shoulders you don’t actually have. From outright darkness, the Unearthed Woods return to their usual gloomy mood. And the air warms up from a few welcome degrees.
But that also may have something to do with two nearby trees catching fire from your earlier attempts at arson. From the look of it, you doubt the flames will propagate any more, though.
“Ahh… I think…” Fangs pants “I think we did it...”

>>29622250
You take a little time to catch your breath. First you take care of the nasty frostbite the creature inflicted on your chest. Like for Froth, the ice impedes your regeneration even after a relieving breath of fire. Without a potion this time, you think it’ll take around an hour to completely heal from this.

Right now, you’re still feeling sore after this fight. From the creature, only the inert skull remains, and you uncover a strange, ice-cold orb among the ashes of its body. You feel a slight unease as you manipulate the skull, but you’re fairly confident it won’t do anything on its own anymore.

>What do?

>>29622258
That thing is bad juju. Leave it alone.

>>29622258
Where's that weeaboo Reaper? I hopersonally he's still around. From what we vaguely remember from the drempt memory, and from what the tengu Reaper said, the 'powers' of the souls take on the personality of the person who lived. What could cold mean?
I recommend Fangs not eating it. It might not be worth all the trouble.
Also if we wait long enough, I think a Reaper will appear before the soul starts to deteriorate.
>>
>>29622258
I doubt that orb is a soul this guy seems native although maybe he traveled somewhere at some point and this is a soul he ate or the soul of somebody he killed there. Probably a power source though.
Leave it for now and take the skull to the skeleton farm ask them what the creature was.

Also extinguish those trees they may look like they will not spread but better safe then sorry only we can prevent forest fires.

“Good job with the sword Fangs!” You congratulate your sister “I think it really suits you!”
“Thanks!” Fangs smiles as she tucks the blade back in the bag on her back “I think I’m gonna keep the armlet on for now.”
“Well, I didn’t do too bad myself!” Forth pats her own back
“Heh?” You smugly retort “Fishing for compliments after sleeping through all the fight, Froth?”
“Uhm! I, uh…” She blushes in embarrassment and falls silent. A good thing she wasn’t interested in bickering. You weren’t in the mood. Also you’ve got undead remains to assess.

You get rid of the fire for a start. Even if the risk is low, you don’t feel like being responsible for the whole forest going down in flames. Now about what the abomination left... First, there’s this orb.
“Wait, is that a soul?” You ponder out loud. You poke it, but the thing looks solid, and affected by gravity. So unless the folklore about ‘bad’ souls being heavier is true, this orb is no soul. It’s unnaturally cold, though. Probably a power source of some sort. You better not lick it…

And then there’s the skull. Even inert, that thing looks like very definition of cursed. As soon as you touch it, you feel a slight occult shiver course through your body. But when you retract the tip of your tail, that feeling disappears.
“This… doesn’t seem too bad.” You declare “Maybe the skeletons know a little more about this? We’re still not too far. We could reach their motte and ask them in a dozen minutes. How does that sounds?”

Your sisters accept, and after packing both items in your bag, you tread toward the farm. But unlike the first time you came here, no skeleton emerges from the ground as you climb up.
Even though there was a grammatically accurate sign down the road.

“Skeletons!” You call to the silent motte, halfway to the top “I came here to bargain!”
But without any more result.

>>29625683
“Weird… Is it skeleton nap time?” Fangs pouts.

Check out the top and investigate the top. If they don't say anything, threaten to eat all the cows.

How fucked would it be if this thing was actually the guardian, and sort of breaking them would make them inert? Whatever, lets go check out their meat cooler for more beef. and Maybe this time we can go for a slow roast.

“Weird… let’s climb further.” You say.
And climb you do. The place just seems completely desert, and you can go on your way without be bothered by any bones. You start to fear that bone thing you killed may have taken all the skeletons to the grave with him. But still you keep calling for skeletons, just to make sure you’ll be able to show your good will should they find you here.
Eventually, you get over the fog covering the Unearthed Woods. The sun is quite nice up there, and you can start to hear the sound of cattle in front of you.

A while later, the top of the slope comes into view, where you see several boulders ready to be released to tumble downwards. You’re rather glad the entirety of the skeleton’s traps are activated by hoof only…
And after passing that one last line of defence, you can lay eyes upon the actual farm. A flock of peaceful cows graze on the plateau at the top of the motte. There’s also farm building and a windmill a little
Finally, there’s a skeleton wearing a straw hat looking at the cattle, resting on the wooden fence around the cows and humming a simple song. He looks away from your direction.

“Hey you!” You call the bonehead, but he doesn’t react at all.
“If you don’t answer we’re gonna eat all the cows!” Fangs adds.

And once again, you’re met with silence, the skeleton a few meter in front of you, flat ignoring what you said.
“Does that mean we can eat all the cows?” Fangs asks.

I had to look up what you were referencing and that reminds me that I need to finish it.

Thanks, dood, it likewise means a lot to know you enjoyed the draws even if the quality was sub par for my standards. I had to hit the road sooner than anticipated, so the linework and coloring is very rushed, my badz., but keep on keepin' on. I came for strange character and stayed for the bizarre world they slither. I really do enjoy the universe and adventure so far, and I hope more uncanny creatures pop up, they're especially fun to doodle.

>>29627638
Maybe this skeleton is deaf? Pop into his peripherals to get his attention. Try y'alls best not to startle the guy, but also visually show that you're here for serious trade.

>>29627638
I love what you did with the cows. Minimal effort for the most effect.

“Geez…” You sigh. How can a skeleton be deaf? Actually, the good question would be how can they hear in the first place?

You approach and poke the skeleton’s shoulder. Or scapula, to be anatomically correct.
“Kaka?” He slowly turns around. And freeze while giving you a puzzled look.

“I’m here to trade, skeleton.” You announce. Which doesn’t seem to take the bony pony out of his daze. He looks around, probably in search of a friend of his, but finds none.

“Kaa… Sorry, I’m losing my bones here... Trading?” He repeats “We usually don’t let people get so far up the motte, even for trading. At least not alone…” He thinks out loud “Did the others let you pass or are you an intruder? Sorry…” He scratches his head “I’m asking because I usually don’t deal with intruders, but I’ve heard they were sneaky. And you were really sneaky, taking me by surprise like you did.”

>What do?

see you tomorrow
>>
>>29627868
We're too big to be sneaky, and we didn't see any of your friends on the way up. Can you tell us about the frozen thingy and this skull?
>>
>>29627868
We announced our presence calling out for your friends along the way, but nobody responded. We even called out to you while you were humming and you didn't respond until now.

>>29627868
Thats the thing all the guards are missing and I do not know why.

>>29627868

>>29627868
Tell use what these two things we looted from the creature are. And tell us what kind of creature we fought. It was spitting cold fire and howled like the damned.

>>29627868
Yeah that's nice. Say what can you tell us about the castle being alive and the ghosts at the graveyard?

“No need to lose your spine, skeleton, we don't have any bone to pick with you.” And you feel your sisters cringe so hard the base of their neck tenses at your pun.
“Kakakaka!” The skeleton let out a rattling laugh “Ah, thanks for clearing it out. I know for a fact intruders don’t have a funny bone.”
“NGHahaha…aha…!” It’s your turn to force yourself to laugh at the horrible pun. You’re starting to regret encouraging that kind of bare-bone jokes. By now Froth has lost all hopes in equinity. “A-anyway, I’m still here to trade.” You say “I got up here, but I don’t know why your friends didn’t stop me.”

“That seems improbable. They should have heard you coming…” He ponders, looking a little confused.
“You didn’t hear us when we called you either!” Fangs adds “Until we poked your bones, you ignored us completely.”

“Kaka? Really? Are you sure there wasn’t lots of winds when you talked?” You shake your head “Because I can hear you just fine right now. Anyway, follow me, I’ve got to ask the guys on the slopes before we talk about trading anything. You didn’t arrive flying, did you?”
The skeleton start to walk toward the slope again, and you follow him.

“Also, I meant to ask…” You pick up the conversation along the way. “What do you know about the castle being alive?”
“Ah, the keeper.” The skeleton says “Well… he looks like a castle, and he’s very grumpy actually. I wouldn’t go around him if I were you. He has become very proficient with his canons over time.”
>>
>>29649455
*Gulp* “A-alright.” You find yourself glad you didn’t approach that thing “And what about the ghosts at the graveyard?”
“Eh. They have a very special sense of humour.” The skeleton answer “They don’t understand the magnificence of bone puns, and they just mess with people with illusions. Somewhat they find it fun, but that’s kind of cheating if you ask me…”
“Also we fought against some big-ass skeleton back in the forest. He left this behind” You pick out the skull and orb from your backpack to show him. “Can you tell me what it is?”

“That’s a big skull.”
“For you.”
“Well, yeah.” He shrugs “That definitely wasn’t a skeleton. More likely a bone golem. I heard a nearby plane got destroyed or something, and yesterday my friends told me there was a hydra…” His bony gears rattle in realisation “Oh! It was you, right?”
“Do you know another one?” Froth lets out a sarcasm, but the skeleton doesn’t seem to take offense.
“Hum.” He huffs “Anyway, when lots of people die on this plane, these golems tend to show up. They’re no very talkative, sneaky and ultraviolent, that’s about it… Some of his power must still be in these things, but I never boned up on magical trinkets so I can’t tell what exactly.”

You reach the slope once again.
“Hey! Rattle Battle!” The farmer calls. “Come here a sec’, you lazy-bones!”
The skull of another skeleton emerges from the ground
“What’s the prob-KAAAAAAAAHHH!” She screams with a girly voice, causing about twenty other skeletons to rise from the ground, most of them having a crude weapon of some sort they soon point at you.

“Yeah, I was tempted to say that when I saw them too.” The farmer-skeleton says “They say they wanna trade but you didn’t hear them climbing up.”
>>
>>29649460
“W-well no I didn’t hear anything…!” The skeleton blurts out, and other skeletons nod at that “But I’d definitely have heard such a fat snake coming!” She point an accusing hoof at you “What kind of tricks are you up to you trickster!”

>What do?
>>
>>29649464
What kind of nubskulls are you? If we were up to something we wouldn't have just done everything we could to get your attention.
All we want is to trade if you don't want to trade then we'll leave.
>>
>>29649464
>fat snake
rude!

>They’re no very talkative, sneaky and ultraviolent
I wonder if one of the things we got from it made us "sneaky" as well.
>>
>>29649464
Did you just seriously call us fat? Look you bone-head, it's not our problem if you have horrible awareness of your surroundings, but we came up here to have a civil discussion on possible trades and nothing more. No need for the unnecessary accusations and violence.

“DID YOU JUST CALL ME FAT!?” Froth roars.
“Well, actually, compared to a skeleton…”
“Shut up, Fangs!” Froth retorts to your other sister “Reality cannot excuse rudeness. And our body is 100% mighty coiling muscles anyway!”

“Look, you bone head…” You hiss toward the skeleton, ignoring the ruckus around you “We’re only here to trade. There’s no need for accusations, violence or calling people fat if you want us to leave.”
“Perfect!” The skeleton cackles “We have nothing to trade right now! Get down that motte!”

You growl. Despite taking all the precautions, it appears the situation just won’t let you deal with the skeletons past this point. Still, you learned that one of the items the bone golem left probably made you sneakier somehow. You agree to leave in peace and resume your way toward the next portal.

This time, you arrive without any trouble to the edge of the cemetery.
Fog seems to be even thicker here, and even without the trees you can’t make out anything further than a dozen meters away. However, occasional wisps of light can be seen, flickering in the distance among the stone graves and mausoleums. Disembodied whispers can also be heard from behind the veil of mist. The portal, however, is not in view yet. You think you’ll be able to find it by keeping the edge of the plane in sight.

“Ghosts can conjure up illusions” Fangs says “That’s what the farmer skeleton told us, right? That’s making me worried… Can we do something about it?”

>What do?
>>
>>29650014
They said the bone golem made us sneaky right? Well maybe we'we'll reach the portal before the ghosts try anything.

“He also said this was all about pranking” You answer “Maybe trying to make friends will make it easier for us? Especially since we’re likely to go through here again.”
“Hmm… Yeah…” Froth nods, a little reluctantly “It’s not like we can fight ghosts can we?”

And so, peaceful intentions in mind, you start to tread among the graves. You even decide to check directly for those strange lights. There’s a small chance these might be souls after all.

And soon enough, following one of these lights leads toy to a small ghostly equine figure, about as big as a filly. It’s floating still, apparently absorbed in the reading of a long bunch of text on the wall of a mausoleum.
“Hum, hello?” You try, but much like the skeleton from earlier, the ghost ignores you completely.
“Well, let’s get through this again…” Fangs smiles as she proceeds to poke the ghost. Though the tip of your tail harmlessly goes through the transparent body, the ghost notices the snake tip poking out of her belly.

“Huh? AAH!” The ghosts squeals with a filly’s voice in surprise, and turns to face you, a panicked expression on her face “I… ahem… Oh no… I don’t even have my scary face on… Everyone’s gonna laugh at me again…”
It looks like she hasn’t head hear what she said before she looked at you.

“Would you feel better if we pretend to be scared?”
“Huh?” The ghost seems taken aback by your offer “I… It’s… nice of you, but there’s no point anymore.”

“Eh… If you say so.” You answer. And the two of you remain silent and still after that, making the mood a little awkward.
“Er… What are you reading?” You attempt to strike a conversation again.

Once again the ghost seems taken aback, but speak up.”
“It’s… An epitaph. The deceased tells in length about its last instants” Somehow, she gets a little more at ease as she speaks fondly “He was absolutely terrified, standing at death’s door, contemplating the nothingness and irrelevance of his past life in the vast course of the universe, and the unbearable soon to come oblivion. It’s one of my favourite.”

“Ahem… Good for you…” You comment “Anyway, I won’t tell the other ghosts about that.”
“And don’t feel bad.” A puffed up Froth adds. “Your friends wouldn’t have managed to scare us either!”
“Also I wanted to ask.” You speak up again “We’re heading to the Silent Cathedral. Can you point us to the direction of the portal?”
“Hum, sure.” She indicates you a direction with her arm. “It’s that way.”

You thank her and head in the direction she showed. However, the little ghost starts following you.
“You know, about the others scaring you” She says, floating around you as you continue to advance “It’s not like they ever scare anybody anymore… I mean, they’re more into… surprising you. Just jumping out and screaming while looking big and ugly. Nopony ever tries to go down the path of true, visceral, mind-crushing dread anymore…”
It sounds like she needs to talk. Since she isn’t trying to slow you down, you’re okay with that.
>>
>>29651014
“Say” The ghost then asks “Since you’ve got souls.” You perk up this time “You must have killed people, right? How did they feel? How scared do you think they were?”

>What do?
>>
See you tomorrow. We'll probably wrap this thread up. I'll wait a little before making the next thread so I can update the ressources/maps and prepare the next ones.

>>29650705
It was an experience similar to seeing your own grave being defiled. It helped me to rise against death.
>>
>>29651014
If you want I could encourage the other ghosts to try and truly scare me there failure will give them motivation to scare anybody else that comes by.

would you be interested in traveling with us for a while and seeing all the death we bring.
>>
>>29651024
One was a boring dog, and the other one was probably scared. Froth? How did the cow taste?
>>
>>29651070
Oh also tell her our first soul was just one we found lying around and that we have killed plenty of stuff to eat before (only if that is true though)

“We hunt to eat.” You say, a little aloof since you never really thought about that “I guess they were all scared when they knew we were on their tail. What about that minotaur, Froth?”
“Eh.” She shrugs “Sorry, but I guess he looked pretty combative until he fainted. He was so not scared it was stupid.”

“Ah. I see...” The ghost says, a little disappointed “So you never took the time to contemplate the mortality you inflict on others? Hum!” She shakes her sleeves nervously “I-It’s okay, I understand. I find the study of horror fascinating, but I get you’re more interested in sustaining your body.”

“If that makes you feel better, I could have the other ghosts try to scare me.” You offer “Just so you can see them fail too.”
“Humf.” Your transparent companion scoffs “They probably won’t even try. You’re pretty big and scary yourself, and they now simple thing won’t work as good on you.”
“Only if you start hanging around regularly, they might band up to create a real show for you…” She adds.

And since she’s following you around, you might as well try to get more information out of her.
“What do you know about the Silent Cathdral?” You ask.
“Not much.” She shakes her head “I’ve seen outsiders come and go from here, but not much more. Several times I’ve heard some of them talking about communing with the keeper, or something like that. That’s about it.”

“Huh.” You nod. And despite her morbid interests, you can’t help but to find the little spirit a little endearing “Say, would you be interested in traveling with us for a while? There a big chance you’ll be able to see more people dying. Especially dogs…”
>>
>>29655217
“Ahem… Well…” Her contours start to… nervously undulate? “I-I’d love to, but… I… can’t go traveling around without a vessel to rest. I can only manifest physically for an hour or so each day. Here there’s the graves, but if I follow you I would need to…” You hear a desperate hope in her voice “Ahem… s-stay inside one of you. Most of the time. If that’s alright with you...”

“Don’t count on me.” Froth immediately declares. “You girls can get possessed if that sounds fun to you, but leave me out of this.”
Fangs remains silent, but she doesn’t look very keen on the idea.

>What do?
>>
>>29655224
Can she stay in an object?
If so we could get a vessel.
>>
>>29655224

That’s not how you envisioned someone asking to get inside you for the first time.
“Would an item work?” You ask.
“Ehm… Only if it’s been alive and sentient at some point!” She answers, sounding increasingly nervous.

Which means what you took from the bone golem could maybe qualify then.

“And what about being in someone alive? How does it work exactly?”
“Well… Hum. I could try to help you that way.” The ghost answers “I mean, you’re being nice, I would never do something to embarrass you. And I’m so weakened right now, you’d have no trouble chasing me away anyway…”

“So, you can only possess the willing?” You thought about capturing an outsider for that job, but that would probably be hard with what she said.
“Sorta…It’s about power. But right now, I’m incapable of anything more.”

Well… that sounds good enough for you. Also, it’s not exactly a soul, but maybe Fangs can be the host to even everything out. But before that, there one last question…
“I wanted to ask, how did you…” You grin “…give up the ghost?”
Both your sister groan in despair.
“P-please…” The spirit goes into hyper shake overdrive at your pun. You wonder if that’s the ghost equivalent of cringe “N-not the ghost puns. It’s more horrible than the abyss of death…”
“Alright, sorry.” You show a mischievous grin “But I’m still rather interested in how you passed away.”
“I’ve always been a ghost as far as I remember.” She shrugs. “I’m older than I look actually. I don’t know one ghost who’s older than me.”

Hmm… Yeah, she might be useful to have around, you think.
“Fangs.” You turn to your sister “Are you gonna refuse a cute little wiggly ghost the opportunity to go travel around the world?”
>>
>>29655954
“Well, uhm…” Your sister sounds unsure at first, but after taking a deep breath, it seems like she made her mind. “Alright!” She turns to the ghost “You can come with me.”

*Gasp!* A transparent yet bright smile illuminates the little ghost’s face “Thank you thank you!” She squeals “My name is Candlestick by the way, but you can call me Candy!”
And without any warning, the little spirit dives right inside your sister, which gasps in surprise, dazed for a few seconds.

“Whoah… It’s weird…” She blinks, still trying to understand what happened to her “I’m seeing things, sisters. Like, souls I think.”
“You’re seeing the souls inside of us?” Froth asks “Even the one we ate?”
“Well, I think so… Oh!” She perks up “And the portal is that way, Candy… said… in my head.”

“Also she keeps repeating how thankful she is, and she’s giving me… brain hugs I think?” Fangs adds “Oh, also, she got my name, but she didn’t hear yours.”
“Er… My name is Faze” You awkwardly introduce yourself to your sister you’ve always known.”
“Froth here.” You other sister says with a similar blank tone.

You’re not sure you’ve got anything more to say before heading to the portal. But maybe you’ll think of something as you go.

>What do?
>>
>>29655962
Ask Candlestick if she can tell us anything about the stuff we got from the bone golem.
>>
>>29656100
this.
>>
>>29655962
Does Candy want us to grab anything here for her? Any mementos she doesn't want to leave behind?
>>

>>29656330
>>29656720
“A-alright” You say, still not exactly sure everything is going as it should “Unless Candy has any stuff she wants us to take, we’re gonna get going.”
“She said no.” Fangs says, still a little out of it too.

However, once the initial surprise has passed, the three of you manage to get a little more at ease with Fangs speaking to herself. And you’re even willing to see if the little spirit can actually be of any help to you.

“Hey, Candlestick” You take out the two items you got from the bone golem and hands them to Fangs “What can you tell us about these?”
There’s a small moment of silence, probably as the ghost pony ponders.
“Huh?!” Fangs suddenly blurts, and then seems to have a conversation with herself “Cursed like… Ah? Alright, so you’re sure it’s not dangerous? Okay… Really? Well, that makes sense…” Fangs turn to you “Candy said the skull makes it so nobody will hear us until they can see our eyes. And they’ll also have a bad feeling around us, and probably be either scared or more aggressive. And it’ll be so for as long as we carry the skull.”
“And what about the orb?” Froth asks.

“She says it’s crystallised cold magic. It’ll just remain super cold forever. And… Ah? She says that if she regains her powers a little she might be able to tap into it.”
“Uhm…” You nod “Thanks, Candy. We’re going to keep that stuff for now. Also…” You’re curious about what fangs said about seeing souls earlier “Can you… possess me for a second? I’d like to see what souls look like.”

“I can do that.” The small ghosts says as she emerges from your sister, and then dives inside of you.
The shock passed, you observe unnatural colours inside your friends. You see the soul inside of Fangs. A hefty ball of light, which gently pulses in her head, emitting a small wave of light reverberating in her body each time.

The shock passed, you observe unnatural colours inside your friends. You see the soul inside of Fangs. A hefty ball of light, which gently pulses in her head, emitting a small wave of light reverberating in her body each time.
Meanwhile, it’s a little different inside Froth. To your sister’s souls, a smaller ball seems glued, and tied by light tendrils of some sort. The smaller soul pulses way slower that Froth’s, and it seems to be interfering with hers when it does.
“I can’t do that too much actually...” You hear the voice of the ghost in your head “It’s still rather tiring for me to even change host.” She states, before proceeding to return into Fangs.

The portal comes into view shortly after that. Tired of the gloomy mood of the Unearthed Woods, you’re quick to go through it.

Just like when you entered the Cakewalk, the unbridled sun forces you to squint until you get used to the new level of luminosity. The scent of grass and the chirping of small birds hits your nose and ears, while the pleasant breeze in the sunlight makes for a quite welcoming weather.
This side of the portal you just got through rests on a small horizontal space on the cliff side of a rocky peak, getting you a nice view of the plane in front of you. Somewhat, Fangs seems extra amazed by the landscape.

First, you’re quick to notice the actual cathedral, which rests atop of a hill in the distance. It’s quite far, and it is surrounded by a forest.

Then, there’s a meadow lying in front of you. And a little further, the wavy row of trees indicate the possible presence of a river, making for quite an inviting place to rest and cool off.

Finally, there’s another peak, not so fat, on which you can see the swirling colours of what you suppose is another portal.

And that look like a good time to stop for this thread. Next thread in a few days. Like I said, I'll take some time to update the maps and ressources.

I'll anounce next thread in the cyoa general when I'll be ready. I also lurk here and you can ask things to me there while there's no quest thread.

If you have any comment, critics or question, even if it's a little meta, feel free to post them right now. I'm still around for around an hour.

For now, thank you all for participating and see you next time.

What will happen when the souls awaken? Will they try to take over? Are they too weak to try? Can we assimilate them?

That's for you to discover. But I do not intend to have their power free forever. Also few people have actually looked in depth about how to deal with souls. Often asking for information like it has been done already is a good thing to do.

Is romance optional?
