Nebula #26 (CYOA)

"No sir," You reply, "Our captain is currently under sedation after being impaled."
"Well, I hope he gets better," He tells you; before saluting, "Name's Vladimir, sixth commander of the New Siberian Republic."

What do you do?

>>30511664
Salute back.
Private Eagle. Equesrria army reserves.

>>30511821
You salute back.
"Private Eagle. Equestria's army reserves."
Vladimir nods approvingly at you.
"Would you like an escort to the planet," He asks you, "So you can relax a bit, maybe repair your ship if it needs some."

What do you do?

>>30512286
accept the escort, we need to check up on everyone.

>>30512286
Yes

>>30512411
Coccinedllidae especially. She's not taking Rust's injury well.

>>30512411
>>30512438
>>30512468
"Yes," You nod, "I need to check up on everyone."
Vladimir nods. Leaving the ship along with the soldiers. Preparing to escort the ship to the planet.
You trot away and come to Coccinedllidae's room as she wasn't handling Rust's injury very well. You could hear her crying from the other side of the door.

What do you do?

>>30512579
Knock on her door. Can we please come in? We just want to talk. We know how hard it is to experience what she did.

>>30512648
You raise a hoof and give several knocks to the door.
"Can I please come in," You ask, "I just want to talk. I know how hard it is to experience what you saw."
A few seconds go by. You hear the door unlock as the door cracks open a bit, Coccinedllidae poking your head out and looking at you.

What do you do?

>>30512752
Slowly enter and wait for Coccinellidae to speak first.

>>30512752
Give her a hug.

>>30512789
>>30512852
After a few seconds you slowly enter the room. It was quite dark in there, but you could see that the room was messy.
The two of you stand there for a moment when Coccinedllidae suddenly grabs you and hugs you, crying into your chest.
After a few seconds you return the hug.

What do you do?

>>30512883
Tell her it sounds like he will be fine. His electrocution injury was far worse and she was the calmest on the ship after that.

>>30512915
"It sounds like he's going to be fine," You tell her, "His electrocution injury was far worse and you were the calmest on the ship after that."
"I know," She cries, "But, I could've done something to prevent it! I could've grabbed my weapon, or done something other then stand there like a retard!"

What do you do?

>>30512990
Well why did you just stand there like a retard. You have seen plenty of companions under attack in the past.

>>30512990
Take it as a mistake that you will learn from so that you can prevent it from happening in the future. I've seen others injured that made me think on what I could've done to prevent it. Rust is a softie who'll forgive you no matter what, but you also need to forgive yourself for this.

>>30513000
Calling her a retard is not how you deal with regret in this situation.

>>30513000
>>30513025
"Take it as a mistake," You tell her, "Learn from it so it doesn't happen again in the future. I've seen others injured that made me think on what I could've done to prevent it. Rust is a softie anyway: He'll forgive you no matter what, but you also need to forgive yourself for this. Why did you just stand there though?"
"I don't know," She admits, "My body just refused to move for some reason. I'm not a fighter."

What do you do?

>>30513056
Now that I think of it I suppose none of your caravan stories had you saving folk.

So how exactly did it go down? The humans might want a full report and if there was magic from you involved we will have to come up with a cover story.

>>30513056
Taht's what happens when you're scared and not used to combat. You get shocked and watch everything slowly happen around you. I've felt, and so have many others. Don't put yourself down from it. Just be aware of it from happening in the future.

>>30513085
>>30513121
"Now that I think of it: Most of your caravan stories don't have you saving folk," You mutter, "That's what happens when you're scared and not used to combat. You get shocked and watch everything slowly happen around you. I've felt it, and so many others have. Don't put yourself down for it, just be aware of it from happening in the future."
She smiles up at you, sniffing a bit.
"So how exactly did it go down," You ask, "The humans might want a full report and if there was magic involved we might have to come up with a cover story."
"I threw a shield over both of us," She explains, "And opened a small hole in it so he could shoot at them. He got most of them, but one figured it out and pulled him out. He kicked it a few times and that's when it happened."

What do you do?

>>30513154
We will just say he was shooting around a corner then so the reaper came up and grabed him.
You better get your disguise up. We will be ariving at the human planet soon.

>>30513154
Let see how everyone else is doing.

>>30513193
>>30513235
"We will just say he was shooting around a corner then so the Reaper came up and grabbed him," You tell her, "You better get your disguise up. We will be arriving at the human planet soon."
You leave the room and continue along, soon stopping in front of the medbay.
You weren't really sure if you wanted to go in or not.

What do you do?

>>30513332
Go in.

>>30513332
It's Rust. We really care about him. We need to visit him.

>>30513344
>>30513365
In the end you decide on going in. You did care about him after all.
Inside you find Rust sedated on one of the beds, an ivy attached to him.
Quiet Vine sat hunched over him, working on the large hole in his gut where you could see some of his intestines. She appeared to look quite stressed at the moment.

What do you do?

>>30513403
Comment that he is gonna be mad that he misses meeting these humans. Most likely at himself knowing him.

>>30513403
Does Cardea know about Rust's injuries? If not, we should probably tell her.

>>30513432
Adding.
How is he doing, and how serious is it?

>>30513421
>>30513432
>>30513442
"He's gonna be mad that he missed meeting these humans," You comment, "Most likely at himself knowing him. How is he doing? How serious is it?"
"He's stable," Quiet Vine replies, "I stopped the bleeding, but now I'm trying to figure out how to close this wound."
"Does Cardea know?"
"As far as I'm aware, she doesn't."

What do you do?

>>30513489
Let's go see Cardea.

>>30513489
Want me to go tell her since you're busy taking care of Rust? She deserves to know about this.

>>30513506
>>30513507
"Want me to go tell her since you're busy taking care of Rust," You ask, "She deserves to know about this."
"Yeah sure," She replies, "Please go do that."
You exit the room. Trotting around a bit till you find Cardea in the kitchen. Sai having replaced the window since it got broken in to.
"Hey Eagle," Cardea greets you, "Have you seen Rust? I haven't seen him since the battle ended."

What do you do?

>>30513592
He took a rather nasty injury but he should be fine. He is sedated right now.

>>30513592
I'm sorry to bring bad news, Cardea, but Rust was injured badly during the fight. He's stable, sedated and currently being treated by Vine at the medbay.

>>30513598
>>30513629
"I'm sorry to bring bad news," You tell her, "But, Rust was injured badly during the fight. He's stable, sedated, and currently being treated by Vine at the medbay."
Cardea doesn't react for a moment, then you see her scales turn white as she begins to hyperventilate.

What do you do?

>>30513662
Give her a hug. It's fine Cardea, he should be ok. Just some intestinal damage.

>>30513662
Take deep long breaths, Cardea. You and I know that Vine is going to do her best in there. You trust her on this, don't you? Come on, let's go see him together.

>>30513678
>>30513721
You quickly wrap her in a hug.
"It's fine, Cardea," You reassure her, "Take long deep breaths, just some intestinal damage. You and I know that Vine is going to do her best in there. You trust her on this, don't you?"
She nods.
"Come on: Let's go see him together."
You carefully lead Cardea over to the medbay, where she quickly bolts to Rust's side.
She looks down at Rust and stares for a minute. After a minute her legs begin to quake.

What do you do?

>>30513768
Give her a hug and say you will give them some time alone. Go see Lanakilla.

>>30513768
Just stay here and talk with Vine. I'm going to check on the others.

>>30513789
>>30513832
You trot over and give her a hug.
"I will give you some time alone," You tell her, "Just stay here and talk with Vine. I'm going to check on the others."
You turn and start trotting away.
*Thud!*
You turn around to find that Cardea had collapsed on the floor, having fainted. Quiet Vine's reaction to this being to place her head in her hooves and sighing.

What do you do?

>>30513970
Say we will leave her to it.

>>30513970
Let put her on a medial bed, then go check on everyone else.

>>30513970
Sorry, maybe I should of broken the news at a more gradual pace.

>>30513978
>>30514031
>>30514042
You pick Cardea up and lift her onto an empty medical bed. Apologizing for not breaking the news slower.
"I'll leave you to it." You tell Quiet Vine; quickly leaving the room.
You leave the room and bump into Kahurangi.
"Hey Eagle," Kahurangi smiles up at you, "...Is there something going on in there?"

What do you do?

>>30514053
Rust took a wound to his intestines but he should be Fine.

>>30514053
Rust was heavily injured in the last fight. Vine is worried and stressed out from taking care of him, and Cardea just fainted after seeing Rust.

>>30514085
>>30514089
"Rust took a wound to the intestines," You tell her, "Vine is worried and stressed out from taking care of him, and Cardea just fainted after seeing him. He should be fine, though."
"So: I shouldn't go in there." She says.

What do you do?

>>30514151
Probably not no.

>>30514179
"Probably not," You reply, "No."
She nods in understanding, but there was worry on her face.
"We're about to land." Sai announces.

What do you do?

>>30514279
Go prepare to disembark. Get Sai to send out a message to ask if anybody is ready to come with us.

>>30514302
It was time to disembark. You trot to the cargo bay airlock and tell Sai to ask everybody if they wanted to come along.
After waiting a few minutes at the airlock the people going arrived: Coccinedllidae, Lanakila, and Kahurangi.

What do you do?

>>30514400
Ask Kah why Moana is not coming.

>>30514408
"Why isn't Moana coming?" You ask Kahurangi.
"I don't know," She shrugs, "He didn't want to come for some reason."

What do you do?

>>30514491
Eh. We can ask him about it later. Let's go.

>>30514507
"Eh, we can ask him about it later," You say, "Let's go!"
The four of you step out of the airlock and onto nice cool grass. You quickly take a deep breath at the fresh air of the planet.
A few minutes away you could see what appeared to be a small city. There wasn't a lot of activity at the moment though as people were just starting to get out of the bunkers.

What do you do?

>>30514662
Take a look over the exterior of the ship for damage.

>>30514683
You turn around and look over the exterior of the ship.
There were several bullet holes in the hull. Along with some burnt marks from when the Reapers fired at the ship, along with one damaged turret sparking on top of the ship.

What do you do?

>>30514762
Make a note to fix them later and see if we can get a replacement turret.
Did we remember to grab some gold? Make sure we have some then head into town.

>>30514762
Wait, what happened to Caesar?

>>30514813
I was gonna ask about that when we next saw one of the leaders. It slipped my mind when we were talking to him sadly.

>>30514775
>>30514813
You make a quick mental note to fix all that later and to see if it was possible to get a replacement turret.
You then remember that you forgot the gold, quickly going back in to grab some.
You reach into the crate to grab some when you notice Caesar nearby.
"Hey," He greets you, "Sorry I'm late. I got into a tiny fight with some of the humans on the way here."

What do you do?

>>30514856
Understandable given what happened but you didn't kill any of them, did you?

>>30514856
You survived that whole battle, and without being hit by friendly fire from the humans? Sweet Celestia, you're must be the luckiest Reaper in existence! Are you injured at all?

>>30514856
Im glad you survived. So you Managed to calm the situation? Do you think it would be safe for you to come into the city?

>>30514871
>>30514874
>>30514897
"You survived the whole battle, and without being hit by friendly fire from the humans," You say amazed, "You must be the luckiest Reaper in existence! You didn't kill any of them, did you?"
"I didn't," He says, "I cleared it up quickly, though they don't want me to go anywhere near the city. I find it reasonable though."
"Are you injured at all?"
"Yes," He replies; holding up a tentacle where you could see a small bullet hole, "Human bullet. I was going to show Rust how to heal it, but he seems to be injured so I might as well show it to you."
You hear a small whirring before he raises one of his tentacles, bringing it to the wound. A whitish-grey goo was ejected onto the bullet hole. Which immediately harden. He does the same to the other one.

What do you do?

>>30514948
Neat. Want us to pick you up anything while we are out?

>>30514962
"Neat," You say, "Want me to pick you up anything while we are out?"
"No," He replies; walking away, "The only thing I need is to know that you've taken me in with a hesitant hand, which I thank you for."

What do you do?

>>30515025
Head into the city.

>>30515036
Try to find a bank when we get there.

Stopping for the night.
Have a good night or day!

>>30515739

>>30516028

>>30516989

>>30515036
>>30515069
The four of you head down to the city, eventually reaching it in a few minutes.
The four of you were now in the city. There were more humans out now, most of them looking at the four of you curiously.
After a few minutes you find what appeared to be a bank and approach it when a small human ran up to you. She appeared to be a child by her size.
"Poni!" She says happily; booping your nose and giggling when it scrunches up.

What do you do?

>>30518020
Tactical boop back.

>>30518135
You give a tactical boop back to her, which ends up becoming a boop fight for several seconds before a human comes up and take her by the hand, saying something to her, and then walking away with her.
"Poka, poni." The girl say to you; waving goodbye.

What do you do?

>>30518193
Wave goodbye back to the kid. Continue onwards to the back.

>>30518203
You wave back and the four of you enter the bank.
The bank was quite empty. The only people there being one cleaning the floors, and a teller running an empty line.

What do you do?

>>30518275
Go straight to the teller since there is no line.

>>30518020
Cute.
>>30518275
Say hello to the cleaner and go up to the teller.

>>30518427
>>30518443
You say hello to the cleaner really quick before heading up to the teller since there was no line.
"Hey," The teller greets you, "What's up?"

What do you do?

>>30518481
I wanted to see if I could exchange gold for local currency.
Show her the bar.

>>30518660
"I wanted to see if I could exchange gold for local currency." You say; showing him the gold bar.
He looks at it for a moment before taking it. Returning a minute later with a stack of paper money.
"We use the Ruble here." He tells you.

What do you do?

>>30518871
Alright, thanks. Kind of empty in here. Bad time?

>>30518946
"Alright, thanks," You smile; taking the cash, "Kind of empty in here. Bad time?"
"Things take a while to get back to normal after an invasion like that." He replies.

What do you do?

>>30519041
Go back to he ship. Do we need to pay for repairs. And if so, how much?

>>30519220
The four of you head back to the ship. You hoped you had enough money for repairs.
All of you get a surprise though, as when you get back to the ship you find it repaired already: The bullet holes gone, the burnt marks cleaned, and the turret replaced.

What do you do?

>>30519321
Um, wow. Who should we be thanking for this? This is quite a surprise.

>>30519220
I was going to ask why the hell you were going to head back to the ship alreafy but then I remembered Rust was the only one who ever did any heavy shopping.
A little mad at myself for gorgetting to finish typing up my question about hpw much it was worth though.
I seem to be drifting in and out of sleep today guess all those late nights caught up with me.

>>30519337
"Wow," You say, "Who should I be thanking for this? This is quite a surprise!"
Nobody answers. Only the wind does.

What do you do?

>>30519411
inspect the new turret.

>>30519411
Ask sia who fixed our ship.

>>30519407
Don't people who have sleeplessness catch up with them normally stay asleep for a while rather then drifting in and out? Maybe you should see a doctor about that.

Asking how much the money was worth would have been nice but I guess we will just have to work it out as we go.

You make a valid point that too much shoping would be ooc but given this is a military pony on a planet for a civilisation known for it's military we can justify a bit more expenditure.

>>30519428
>>30519441
You quickly fly up and inspect the new turret. Kahurangi does so as well.
"How fixed our ship?" You ask Sai.
"Some soldiers did," He explains, "They just came by and fixed it up before leaving."

What do you do?

>>30519498
Well that's good to know. Let go shopping and see what they have for sale.

>>30519498
Is there receipt? Do we have to pay anything?

>>30519515
>>30519520
"That's good to know," You say, "Is there a receipt? Do we have to pay anything?"
"No."
With that the four of you head back into the city. A few minutes go by before you run into what appeared to be a market area.

What do you do?

>>30519573
Look around. Try and get a feel for how much the money is worth. Look for refrence points on things like fruit or magazines and some more expensive stuff as well. (I had other examples but I forgot them all)

>>30519637
You look around for a moment to get a feel of the prices.
A lot of the things were actually quite expensive: Fruit, 25 Rubles, bullets, 5 rubles each, radio, 125 Rubles, fancy chair, 300 Rubles. And, the most expensive thing you found: Gold necklace, 25,000 Rubles.
You currently had 100,000 Rubles.

What do you do?

>>30519717
Buy a fancy chair. See if you can find one of the rifles those soldiers had for Moana.

>>30519762
You decide to just buy the fancy chair really quick before continuing along.
After a moment you find a weapon vendor selling one of the rifles the soldiers had: A nice sleek design with some wooden touches, the name of the gun behind an AK-67.
It was 15,000 Rubles.

What do you do?

>>30519824
Buy it. We are basically at the end of our journey but have used very little of our gold so if we run out of money we can just get more.

I wonder if we will get money stolen at any point. The templers did tell rust to keep an eye on his gold but he never passed on the message

>>30519824
Since this is end game, get that gun. We have no further use of gold at the end of our journey.

>>30519858
>>30519875
Since the journey was close to being done you end up buying the gun for a gift to Moana.
Besides: You probably won't have any use for the gold after the journey was said and done.

What do you do?

>>30519915
We are pretty heavily armed right now. This is a pretty military colony but I don't think Princess Celestia would apreciate ponies getting too much of a reputation as heavy warriors so we better drop our new gun off back at the ship.

>>30519944
You were pretty heavily armed now. This was a nice military colony, but you didn't really think Celestia would appreciate ponies getting too much of a reputation at heavy warriors after 1000+ years of peace.
You gather everybody up and quickly get the new gun on the ship. By the time you get there it was sundown for the colony.

What do you do?

>>30520095
Go take Moana his new weapon to study.

>>30520114
You trot through the ship and find Moana in the kitchen with Cardea, who was know awake, making dinner with her.
You go up to Moana and give him the new weapon. His face quickly lights up as he runs off with it.
"Please make sure it's on safety!" Cardea shouts after him.

What do you do?

>>30520170
Hey Cardea. Did I ever tell you about the dumb thing I did when I got our laser rifles. I fired it at the wall. I am still not sure what came over me.

>>30520170
How do you feel, Cardea? You fainted on us.

>>30520186
>>30520199
"How do you feel, Cardea," You ask, "You fainted on us."
"I'm fine now." She smiles.
"...Did I ever tel you about the dumb thing I did when I got our laser rifles? I fired it at the wall. I am not sure what came over me."
"Sounds like an interesting story." Cardea smiles.

What do you do?

>>30520296
Well that's pretty much the whole story. They took it away grom me for a few days.

The scorch mark is probably still there

>>30520296
The wall was asking for it! Or something. I have yet to figure out the reason I shot it.

>>30520336
>>30520377
"The wall was asking for it," You exclaim, "Or something. I have yet to figure out the reason I shot it. They took the gun away from me for a few days."
Cardea suddenly walks up to you and shakes you around, knocking on your head a few times.
"Yep," She smirks, "Not a lot up there."

What do you do?

>>30520391
Indeed. Theres quite a large thing in your head though. A certain captain.

>>30520391
Hey, my brain works most of the time! At least slightly better than Rust's.
It's going to be tough time without his positivity. Worst of all, I won't get any cuddles for a while.

>>30520454
>>30520466
"My brain works most of the time," You retort, "At least: Slightly better then Rust's. There's quite a large thing in your head though: A certain captain."
Cardea blushes a bit at this and goes back to her cooking.
"It's going to be a tough time without his positivity," You comment, "Worst of all: I won't get any cuddles for a while!"
"His cuddles are mine," Cardea jokes, "All mine."

What do you do?

>>30520579
But, he promised more cuddles! He owes me!
In all honestly, I kinda envy you and Vine. You get all the cuddles, and...private activities you want.

>>30520579
What are you cooking?

>>30520625
Say it's a good thing we are famous now. We will have lots of options when we get back.

>>30520643
Although probably not the dragons we want.

>>30520643
Still doesn't answer our heat.

>>30520673
No I mean we will have the pick of stalions.

>>30520625
>>30520633
>>30520643
"But, he promised me more cuddles," You complain, "He owes me! ...In all honesty: I kinda envy you and Vine. You get all the cuddles, and... private activities you want."
"Yeah," She smiles, "You know: You could join our herd. I think Rust likes you a bit."

What do you do?

>>30520798
Naaah. Rust is a good friend but I can't think of him that eay.

>>30520798
I'll admit, I have strongly considered it. He's a good stallion, attractive, and him being part minotaur is a huge plus for me. He's also helped me when it mattered to me at the most when it came to dealing with my dad, but around that time, he was with Vine. I didn't want to risk things if she didn't accept herds and I was starting something with Fedot, before he turned about to be a she.
I don't know why I did this, but I even asked him to help with my heat without even speaking to Vine first. Now, I'm just confused on why I asked him that way.
Won't I get in the way of you two? I don't know if Rust is even interested in me.

>>30520826
>>30520855
"I'll admit," You start, "I have strongly considered it: He's a good stallion, attractive, and him being part Minotaur is a huge plus for me. He's also helped me when it mattered to me at the most when it came to dealing with my dad, but around that time he was with Vine. I didn't want to risk things if she didn't accept herds and I was starting something with Fedot, before he turned out to be a she. I don't know why I did this: But, I even asked him to help with my heat without even speaking to Vine first. Now, I'm just confused on why I asked him that way. Rust is a good friend, but I can't of him that way."
"Hey," Cardea says, "Maybe when we get back we'll find you a nice dragon, hmm? Dinner is almost done by the way: It's ramen noodles apparently."

What do you do?

>>30520826
>>30520855
We seem to be at a stalemate of teo contradictory suggestions.
Maybe we should postpone the rest of the session until we get a tiebreaker for something this major.

>>30520894
Oh wait nevermind looks like Pluto found a way to make it work.
Good work Pluto.

>>30520889
Let go get Vine so she won't miss dinner.

>>30520889
Sounds nice. Both the dinner and dragon.

>>30520899
Maybe, but it is hard to beat what Rust has done to deal with my dad, and his generous personality is not something you'll find in nearly any dragon.

>>30520899
Hmm, delay this choice until we have more players to make the vote? This is a pretty big decision to either join or not.

>>30520951
I assume you meant to quote >>30520889
For that first paragraph?

>>30520980
Yup, my mistake there.

About we just try the herd thing for a while and see how it works out? Does it hurt to try it out?

>>30520951
>delay this choice until we have more players to make the vote
Probably. Yeah.

>>30520903
>>30520910
"Sounds nice," You smile; while in your mind kinda considering the herd idea, "Both dinner and the dragon. I'll get Vine."
You quickly move to the medbay and enter it.
Inside: You find her sleeping over Rust, still sitting in her chair.

What do you do?

>>30521345
Wait. Didn't my choice count?>>30520951
Aren't trying to settle this since we had a tie?

>>30521357

>>30521357
There's still plenty of time to think it over. There is still one more player yet to have a say.

>>30521345
Let wake her up and tell her dinner is ready by the time she come to the kitchen.

>>30521345
Gently wake her.

>>30521345
Cute. Wake her.

>>30521439
Should we just create a strawpoll? So players have a day to vote before Pluto comes back?

>>30521470
I don't think that will be nesecary.

Stopping for the night.

>>30521470
You guys can create a strawpoll if you want for it. Cause I don't know how, I'm tired, and slightly irritated from a bunch of people calling me all day.

http://www.strawpoll.me/13438841
Made one quick.

I don't mind some indecision like >>30520951 but in the end I think we should decide on >>30520826

Strawpoll seems quite even so far. Should we compromise with some kind of trial to see how it works out? I think it makes some sense for there to be some confused thoughts on Eagle's part.

>>30523004
Maybe just wait until we get home to decide.
That way we get the chance to maybe bag a dragon with our fame.

>>30523041
But we've been thinking about this for plenty of months of time, and we still confused on what to feel. Can't we just get it over with and see how we feel by the time we come back? Test out this potential relationship before searching for a new one?
We lust for dragons but that doesn't necessarily mean we should ignore this possibility in front of our faces.

>>30523041
Didn't Eagle also have fierce willpower to hold herself back on Cardea's planet, because she was interested in trying out a relationship with Fedot? Doesn't some of that apply in a similar situation like this one?

>>30523099
We only have a few days left out of cryo before we are home anyway.
Granted I don't like the idea in general so I am biased against the trail.
Which is funny because right at the start of the quest I wanted a harem ( Well I wanted to seduce star bright and leave her pining for us for two years but the harem was a close second choice)

>>30523155
Funny, I'm biased on trying it out since I saw some players at the beginning preferring to try something out with Eagle over Vine, or having some talk about having a harem or everyone loving each other.
I'm also the type of guy that believes most of these characters can happy lives together after the bonds they made going through so many life and death situations.

>>30522086

>>30521440
>>30521449
>>30521470
You trot up and gently shake her awake. She snorts a bit before waking up and looking around.
"Dinner is ready." You tell her.
Quiet Vine looks towards Rust before getting up and trotting to the kitchen with you, where there were several bowls of noodles and an empty plate for Caesar.
You sit down and you all begin to eat, though your mind wasn't resting: You were still kinda thinking about that offer from Cardea to join. You already refused the offer, but some part of you wanted to accept it, leaving you confused.
"Eagle," Cardea says; having noticed, "Are you okay?"

What do you do?

>>30524118
Can I ask to speak with you and Vine privately? Something is really bothering me. Maybe talking about it might help.

>>30524178
"Can I speak with you and Vine," You ask, "Privately?"
Coccinellidae is quick to get up with Lanakila and takes the kids somewhere else with their food. Caesar is bit more reluctant, but he leaves.
"What's up?" Quiet Vine asks.

What do you do?

>>30524231
It's about what Cardea offered me earlier today. I said no originally, but a large part of me wants to say yes as well. A lot has changed that made me confused from all this.

>>30524255
"It's about what Cardea offered me earlier today," You say, "I said no originally, but a large part of me wants to say yes as well. A lot has changed that made me confused from all this."
The two of them look at each other.
"Well," Cardea starts, "You can always change your mind. I don't mind."
"Yeah," Quiet Vine agrees, "I personally think Rust would be happy to have you in. It always seems like you're the first one he goes to."

What do you do?

>>30524306
He's done so much for me, but I don't want to be in the of all of you. I was starting to get over him before Fedot was revealed to be female. Now? I'm not sure to wait, go for it, or do something else.
I also have to tell you something, Vine. I kind suggested to Rust to help me with my heat. I'm sorry, and I'm not sure why I did that, but I should of gone to talk to you first before even speaking to him about it.

Honestly don't know how to settle this tie. A compromise hasn't been decided either.

>>30524342
"He's done so much for me," You say, "But, I don't want to be between all of you. I was starting to get over him before Fedot was revealed to be a female changeling. Now? I'm not sure to wait, go for it, or do something else. I also have to tell you something, Vine. I suggested to Rust to help me with my heat. I'm sorry, and I'm not sure why I did that, but I should have gone to talk to you first before even speaking to him about it."
There's a silence over the room. Quiet Vine then trots up to you, placing a hoof on your shoulder.
You were expecting a hug, but instead you get a kiss on the lips.

What do you do?

>>30524402
Wait....what? Stay still due to be being shocked, and look at Cardea to see if this is normal. Where did that come from?

>>30524423
You simply stand still from being shocked.
You manage to look towards Cardea to see if this was normal, but she looked as confused as you were.

What do you do?

>>30524471
Just go along with the kiss until it's over? None of us have any idea what's going on at all.

>>30524471
Continue ultra confused.

>>30524501
>>30524547
You just stand still as this goes on. It goes on for about fifteen seconds before Quiet Vine breaks it.
Quiet Vine stares at you for a few seconds before realizing what she did, placing her head in her hooves.
"Why the fuck did I do that?!" She curses to herself.

What do you do?

>>30524556
Blush intensely. I don't know! Is that the thing they call in the heat of the moment?
Stay even more confused.

>>30524556
Maybe you had a thing for me but didn't know it as well.

>>30524556
I... don't know? Hug and comfort her? I don't think you're suppose to kiss ponies who are apologizing, but for some reason, you decided to do it? Is there any hint on why you do that? Did I say something that made you want to do it? Cardea, do you have any idea?

What the heck is going on!?

>>30524580
>>30524587
>>30524590
You start blushing, your face turning completely red.
"I don't know," You shout, "Is that the thing they call heat of the moment?"
You grab her and hug her.
"I don't think you're suppose to kiss ponies who are apologizing, but for some reason, you decided to do it? Is there any hint on why you did that?"
She shakes her head.
"What the heck is going on?!"
"Emotions are weird." Cardea comments; having gone back to eating her noodles.

What do you do?

>>30524634
We can talk about this in the morning a lot has happened in the last few hours and I think we should get some sleep, agreed?

>>30524634
Did you have some sort attraction for me to do that? I'm not attracted to females, or at least I don't think I am? And I also don't think you are either? I have no idea what just between us!

>>30524634
Let go back having dinner, then we can talk about this tomorrow.

>>30524670
happened between us*

>>30523154
Hm maybe.
Oh shit look at the time I got in late today.

>>30524342
>I kind suggested to Rust to help me with my heat
When was that?

>>30524758
http://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/30308855/
"My heat is always a bit... chaotic so I might need some help on that, but you don't need to."

>>30524775
Oh so we did.
Also if you click the word no to the left of the post number you can link directly to the post
http://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/30308855/#30322975

>>30524787
Ah, thanks for that didn't know. Yeah, I found it a bit odd to her to just ask us that out of the blue.

>>30524748
>Oh shit look at the time I got in late today.
Should have stayed up late to make sure you did not miss stuff this important.

>>30524748
Honestly, you didn't miss too much. Just utter confusion on what the hell was going.

>>30524809
I fell asleep involuntarily. Oh well not a whole lot I would have had to say in these situations anyway.

>>30524634
Maybe we should just pretend this never happened and we can think this over some more when we get home.

>>30524836
Why ignore it? I'm sure all of us want to figure out what just happened today.

Forget about Rust. We should cuck his mom.

>>30525031
Well I mean we do have an attraction to various other species in general. Just dragons in particular

>>30525031
Why not Rusty AND his father? We will cuck all of them!

>>30524836
I don't know if we could. We just admitted to Vine of our mistake, and told her how lost were. And then, she just suddenly kisses us when we told her that?
This is going to not only bother Eagle, but especially Vine on why she chose to do something like that as soon we told her we were indecisive of joining the herd.

>>30524655
>>30524670
>>30524672
"Did you have some sort of attraction for me to do that?" You ask.
She shakes her head.
"I'm not attracted to females, or at least I don't think I am, and I also don't think you are either. I have no idea what happened! ...Let's just go back to having dinner, then we can talk about this tomorrow."
She agrees and the three of you go back to eating your noodles.
After a few minutes of an awkward silence the three of you finish eating.

What do you do?

>>30525829
Help clean everything up in this awkward environment and head back to our room in silence. Lay there and try to arrange our thoughts.
Did Vine kiss us because we weren't sure about joining the herd? I don't think those who are straight just suddenly have to kiss someone and hold it there for several seconds.

>>30525829
Finish dinner then go see Moana. Ask him if he has worked out the rifle yet

>>30525829
When we go to our room wonder if Vine though we were acting like Rust if even for a second.

>>30525909
I doubt it? Did we act like him in our hesitation?

>>30525898
this. It's not time for bed yet

>>30525883
>>30525898
>>30525909
You help clean everything up in the awkward environment before heading to your room in silence. Quickly checking on Moana to see if he had worked out his rifle, he did as the new bullet holes in a cargo bay wall were anything to go by.
You trot to your room and simply lay down on the bed, trying to arrange your thoughts.
'Did Vine kiss me because I wasn't sure about joining the herd,' You ponder to yourself, 'I don't think those who are straight just suddenly have to kiss someone and hold it for several seconds.'
After a moment you then get something: What if she did it because you were acting like Rust, even for a second? You did say something similar to what Rust would possibly say in almost the same way he would. And many soldiers you talked to on the battlefield would tell stories of having hallucinations, mostly of loved ones or recently deceased.

What do you do?

>>30525980
We need a distraction. Go ask Moana how to disassemble and reassemble the rifle and see who can do it fastest.

>>30525980
But didn't she just spend time cuddling Rust when he was right there? I think those stories only apply when you are far away from loved ones for a long period of time. Vine also had quite a good long while to realize what she was doing. Go on and distract ourselves. We won't find out more until we talk to Vine and Cardea about this tomorrow.

>>30525996
this and if there's time left we should pick our guitar and sit on oir favorite spot plucking at it.

>>30525996
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiHgFFyZW0

>>30526081
https://youtu.be/MxV3q8fztCc

>>30525996
>>30526020
>>30526031
While that theory did have some reason to it Quiet Vine just spent some time cuddling with Rust. She also had quite a long time to realize what she was doing.
In the end you decide to just sleep on it and distract yourself.
You find Moana again and ask him how to disassemble and reassemble the rifle. He didn't know how to do it so the two of you end up seeing who can do both the fastest. You were the fastest with five minutes and forty-nine seconds with Moana being ten minutes and two seconds.
It was 7:30 by the time you were done. You find your guitar and fly up to your favorite place to practice.
You spend a few minutes tuning it before playing a song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1Tj6HZAXH4

What do you do?

>>30526160
Go see Caeser. Ask him to tell you some stories from the battle.

>>30526160
Practice and play a couple of more songs more songs. After a good amount of time has passed, maybe we could do a quick check on Rust and Kahurangi. She must be devastated if she learned what happened to Rust.

Oh hey what a coincidence. Just as we were doing something with Moanas gunsmithing training they started talking about making weapons in /cyoa/
>>30526177
>>30526188

>>30526197
>>30526207
You practice a few more songs before moving on.
You see Caesar and ask him if he could tell you any interesting stories from the battle, but he apparently didn't see anything of note to tell.
You then go for a quick check on Kahurangi and Rust. Kahurangi seemed to be doing fine, which leads you to check on Rust.
He was still in the medical bed, breathing normally. The hole in his chest was gone, but you could imagine that it would still need some healing.
"Eagle," You hear Sai say, "Since you are the temporary captain: Should we set a course for Equus? We have three months remaining, which isn't enough time to explore the nearby solar systems."

What do you do?

>>30526321
Rust would want us to explore the rural areas of this place I think.
Is it possible for us to stop by the Colaxian home planet? He seemed keen to see that kid again on the way back.

>>30526321
Rust would want to make use of that time by exploring more of this solar system before heading home.

>>30526332
>>30526356
"Rust would want us to explore more of this solar system," You tell him, "Is it possible for us to stop by the Coexilian planet? He seemed keen to see that kid again on the way back."
"It's a month away so yes." He replies.

What do you do?

>>30526534
Good.
Tomorrow we will explore outside the city to see what sort of wildlife they have and then head home.
Rust would want us to pick up some cultural artifacts as well.

>>30526534
Have Sai ask around the ship for ideas of what Rust would want us to do before we leave here.

>>30526544
>>30526573
You have Sai ask around the ship for ideas of what Rust would want the group to do before leaving. They all agreed with exploring the planet a bit more.
"Good," You say, "Tomorrow: We explore outside the city to see what sort of wildlife they have and then head home. Rust would want us to pick up some cultural artifacts as well."
It was now eight.

What do you do?

>>30526633
Did we ever wash our dildo after we lent it to Vine and Cardea. We should go do that then go to bed.

>>30526637
You trot back to your room, discovering that your dildo had been returned, though it didn't look very clean.
You take it to the restroom and clean it off well. After a few minutes you had a nice clean dildo that was ready for the next user.

What do you do?

>>30526707
May as well give it a use before bed.
Try not to think about Vine or Rust while we do it.
And for a change actually succeed. Think about some random male. Maybe a yak.

>>30526725
How about think of Spike?

>>30526768
I considered it but that seemed to obvious.

>>30526821
I agree.
Random yak is the best choice here.

>>30526725
>try not to think about Vine or Rust while we do it.
I understand Vine, but why are we hesitant on thinking of Rust that way? He's half minotaur and big as well. As well as a yak.

>>30526725
>>30526768
"May as well use it before bed." You mutter.
You take it to your bed and lay down, spreading your legs wide exposing your sex and supple teats.
You haven't actually used your toy in a while. The last time being when you went into heat on the ship.
You masturbate really quick just to get the lubricant going before pushing it in, squirming a bit at the feeling of it entering your folds as you kinda forgot how it felt.
As you start thrusting a picture comes into your mind: It first appeared to be a dragon, but it became a Yak thrusting his long dick into you. You kinda liked Yaks due to them being kinda like ponies, but also not. Also because they seemed to be more on the dom side.

What do you do?

>>30526851
What I meant to say at the end is that we can think of him, dragons, and a yak.

>>30526851
I think it's to not make it that awkward? I guess?

>>30526856
Rub our teats as we go

>>30526851
Because we are still conflicted.

>>30526856
Imagine ourselves being used by Rust, a Yak, and a dragon at the same time.

>>30526863
Pretty sure Eagle already masturbated to the thought of Rust at some points on this trip if she's somewhat attracted to him. She's also already thought of it by asking Rust to help her with her heat.

>>30526910
No no rust. We are keeping him out of our mind tonight

>>30526910
Not Rust. Getting double teamed by a yak and dragon sounds fun though.

>>30526916
>>30526924
Alrighty then, I guess Eagle would be heavily confused by the invitation to the herd, and by Vine's following kiss. Maybe switch up Rust's spot by using our second favorite race?

>>30526910
I have to agree with >>30526916 and >>30526924 because of just happened and the conflict of being or not in the herd Eagle just needs this night to relax and forget that for a moment.

>>30526949
A dragon a yak and a diamond dog
Maybe the diamond dog could be fedot just to make things slightly awkward. We were interested in him before the shitty twist

>>30526961
Aren't we trying to avoid making things even more awkward in this already hectic day?

>>30526978
Yeah your right. best to just plain avoid those species.
Dragon, Yak, Deer

>>30526878
>>30526910
>>30526949
>>30526961
You start to rub your teats as you roll onto your belly and hike your hindquarters into the air. Your fantasy getting more complex.
There was now a random dragon, and a Deer. The dragon pounding at your anus, while the Deer worked at your mouth. You sadly didn't have any dildos to emulate this, but it was better then nothing.
You start to feel your pleasure build slightly, pre now dripping from your entrance and onto the blanket.

What do you do?

>>30527004
Pump faster.

>>30527004
Imagine those species cumming.

>>30527018
>>30527039
You start pumping the dildo in and out faster as your climax approached.
You start to imagine what their orgasms were like. The Deer would probably be a little less then the pony while the Yak might be equal. But, the dragon? The dragon~
Just thinking about the dragon makes you cum. Your walls squeezing around the dildo as your cum sprays out from you, landing on a few different spots on the bed.
Your legs then give out from under you. Dildo still in your pussy as you lay there panting.

What do you do?

>>30527149
Go to sleep.

>>30527149
Remove dildo and go to sleep.

>>30527149
Pass out.

>>30527161
>>30527215
>>30527229
You proceed to remove the dildo. It, however, causes a mini orgasm which causes you to promptly pass out.

You wake up that morning. 8:30 in the morning to be exact.
You still felt tired though: Yesterday's events having worn you out.

What do you do?

>>30527310
Lay in bed for a while. Everybody else is likely feeling the same way.

>>30527310
Remove dildo and clean ourselves up. Unfortunately, we still have things to do, and confusing thoughts, to settle today. Go get breakfast.

>>30527331
>>30527351
You were simply content with laying in bed for a while as it was likely everybody was doing the same or still asleep.
You remove what remained of the dildo inside of you and get up after a few minutes. You still had things to do and confusing thoughts to settle this day.
You take quick shower and trot to the kitchen, finding that nobody was there so it was likely nobody was up yet.
Which meant you had to make breakfast, which you weren't really in to as you didn't cook often.

What do you do?

>>30527438
Ask javaxia for a recommendation of a simple meal.

>>30527451
"Javaxia, do you have a recommendation of a simple meal?" You ask.
"Pancakes," She suggests, "We did survive a big battle and space. I would suggest cake, but that might be a little too advance for you."

What do you do?

>>30527539
Too advance, let prove her wrong.

>>30527539
Hey, I'm not that bad! Try our very best to make the best damn cake we can for breakfast.

>>30527539
Yeah you're right, pancakes it is.
Ask her to help you make them.

>>30511651
Jesus, that's a real image.

Life is fucking magical

It would be amusing if Eagle ended up with a human.

>>30527595
Life has meaning once more.

>>30527553
>>30527559
>>30527572
"Too advan- I'm not that bad," You exclaim, "I'll make the best damn cake I can make!"
You quickly grab all the ingredients to make a cake, though you quickly run into the most important decision to make with a cake.
What flavor to make it.

What do you do?

>>30527602
I think that would be really cool but I don't think there is really time fof it now unless a human ship decides to follow us home.

>>30527602
Nah, their tools are too small to truly satisfy her. They also don't release as much as she would want.

>>30527643
Chocolate?

>>30527643
What type of cake would grandma make?

>>30527656
Maybe but they are also good warriors.
Maybe the final stray we pick up in our journy will be a human.

>>30527705
A young farmboy. Convinced there must be more to life then this

>>30527705
Again, highly doubt that. It'd be pretty weird to just find a human when everything is about to end.

>>30527715
I like this idea. Probably won't happen but you never know, we still have stuff to explore on this planet.

>>30527656
>>30527663
You try to remember what type grandma would make.
You only visited her house once: A nice three story house she lived in by herself in the outskirts of Vanhoover, she baked you a chocolate cake. It was the best one you had.
You quickly start pacing, wanting to make that exact same cake your grandma made those many years ago. You remember that she taught you how to make it, even gave you a book full of her special food and how to make it, but you didn't bring it.
Suddenly you remember how to make it.

What are the ingredients?

>>30527763
It had flour in it.

>>30527763
Again, all I can think is a chocolate cake with no specific ingredients.

>>30527833
>>30527883
And lo the mighty quest was laid low by that most humble of gods creatures. the cocoa bean.
Eh I am sure somebody will come up with an answer eventualy.

>>30527833
>>30527883
You start listing off the ingredients.
Two blocks of soften butter, 250g of sugar, four large eggs, 175g of flour, a teaspoon of baking powder, and five teaspoons of chocolate syrup, along with a teaspoon of salt.
You get all of that together, mix it well, and throw it into the oven. After an hour it's done and comes out.
It smelled and looked exactly like how you remembered it.

What do you do?

>>30527919
Take a picture for grandma of our first ever cake.
The question is do we send it to her now or wait to show her in person.

>>30527947
Now would be good. She will be so happy for us.

>>30527919
Get a slice and wait for the others to eventually come in and eat.

>>30527947
>>30527985
You take a picture of it and send it to your grandma. She would be happy to see it.
You take a slice and begin eating. It's only when you were almost done eating when the door opens.
Quiet Vine trots in, blushing when she sees you and tries to hide behind her mane.
"H-Hey." She stammers.

What do you do?

>>30528074
Hey Vine. Let's just put that stuff behind us for now and enjoy some cake. It's my grandmothers recipe.

>>30528074
Morning there, made some cake for everyone.
...Do you want to talk now, or do you need more time? I don't mind either.

Stopping for the night.
Have a good night or day!

>>30528074
Hey there. Come on, sit down and try out some cake I made using my grandmother's recipe. We can discuss yesterday's event after breakfast.
Javaxia forced my hooves to make this by telling me cake was too advanced for someone with my genius mind!

>>30529990

>>30530991

>>30528111
>>30528127
>>30529098
"Hey there," You greet her, "Do you want to talk about it now?"
She shakes her head.
"Come on, sit down," You tell her; patting the seat next to you, "I made some cake using my Grandmother's recipe. Javaxia forced my hooves by telling me a cake would be too advance for me."
She sits down and grabs a slice of cake, eating a small piece. Her face quickly lights up before she basically stuffs the rest of it down her mouth.

What do you do?

>>30532105
How is it? This is only my first time cooking something like this.
There's plenty more for you and the others if you want anymore.

>>30532156
"How is it," You ask her, "This is only my first time cooking something like this."
"It's really good!" She tells you; grabbing another piece and shoving it into her mouth again.

What do you do?

>>30532250
Glad to hear that!
Wait for the others to wake up to try out our cake. Think of it as a small celebration after surviving the battle yesterday.

>>30532272
"Glad to hear that!" You smile.
After a few minutes everybody else soon comes in and has a piece. After ten minutes not a single piece remained. The only person that didn't get a piece being Caesar who instead got the plate the cake was on.

What do you do?

>>30532250
Grandma knows best

>>30532338
Thank's grandma
Let s get ready to take a look around outside the city.

>>30532346
"Thanks grandma." You silent thank her.
You get up and start to get ready to look around the outside of the city, though you weren't really sure what you needed for that journey.

What do you do?

>>30532418
We should take the ship up then take the landing pod down.

>>30532452
You order Sai to launch the ship into orbit so you could take the landing pod down.
The ship quickly takes off and starts to orbit around the planet, now being able to see most of the surface of it.

What do you do?

>>30532510
Pick an area that seems to be far away from a city and beam down. Maybe a rural area like a small farming town.

>>30532573
Not sure why I said beam down. I have not watched star trek in weeks.

>>30532573
After some time you pick what appeared to be a slightly populated area near a large river that was quite a ways from the largest city.
Coccinellidae, and Cardea decide to go down with you. Quiet Vine decided to stay with Rust, while Lanakila just didn't feel like going down.
The three of you get into the landing pod and land a minute out of town, on a small hill overlooking it.
The town seemed to mostly be a large collection of farms, with the middle of it being where the town was. The river going through the middle of it.

What do you do?

>>30532690
Walk along the river taking wildlife stuff until we get to town

>>30532805
The three of you simply walk along the river, picking up different plants and taking photos of animals before reaching the town.
The town was small, and only had a few brick buildings around with only dirt roads. What appeared to be vehicles parked outside a few of them. There were a few humans walking around, but they didn't really seem to care about the three of you.

What do you do?

>>30532869
Try to find a shop.

>>30532897
You decide to try and see if you could find a store. You end up seeing what appeared to be one, but it was across an intersection.
You start trotting across the intersection.
*Beep! Beep!*
You look to your side to see a car and a pair of headlights quickly coming your way, now extremely close.
You were about to get hit when you were suddenly pushed out of the way, landing on the ground.
"Zamedlennyy inoplanetyanin!" You hear the driver shout at you as he passes by.
A human was currently on top of you, having pushed you out of the way. He appeared to be young looking maybe a year younger then you, with long blonde hair and blue eyes.
The two of you simply lay there, staring at each other.

What do you do?

>>30533069
Thank him.

>>30533069
Thank him for helping us and get up.

>>30533093
>>30533108
"Thank you," You smile; getting up along with him.
"No problem," He replies, "Are you alright?"

What do you do?

>>30533188
Yeah, I'm good. Should have looked before crossing.

Were we actually meant to meet this new character? Or was he just added because someone just mentioned it? If so, it feels a bit forced to grow a last minute connection when Eagle is still facing some confused thoughts with Vine and the herd idea.

>>30533218
Either way I like it myself.
It's not like either of those relationships developed at a natural pace.

>>30533188
Yeah thanks. I guess I just have not seen many cars since I left home so I forgot to be careful on the streets.

>>30533218
Why not. Could prove interesting. Not like we have to end up in a relationship (although it would be neat)

>>30533218
I did kinda like the idea when it was mentioned, though if nobody likes then I essentially failed in that.

>>30533257
"Yeah, I'm good," You say, "I guess I just have not seen many cars since I left home so I forgot to be careful on the streets."
"Yeah," He agrees; looking around a bit, "This is one of the few planets I've seen cars on."

What do you do?

>>30533299
>though if nobody likes then I essentially failed in that.
I like

>>30533272
Meh, maybe it's because it seems something heavily rushed to be put in at the end game. Starting a relationship this fast is really sudden. At least with Rust, there was some slight push and development since the beginning.

>>30533299
You a traveler?

>>30533306
Same.
I think this could prove really interesting.

>>30533250
>It's not like either of those relationships developed at a natural pace.
Which ones? Personally, the Vine one felt rushed at the beginning. Especially with the I love you line.

>>30533346
The vine one in particular yeah. Not that I mind but it would be silly to try and use it against this one.

>>30533364
Personally, I don't think that because there was a rushed relationship before, it excuses another to happen.
Not saying it would be interesting, but it needs to make some sense.

>>30533396
wouldn't be interesting*

>>30533313
"You're a traveler?" You ask.
"Kinda," He replies, "My parents and I were born on Novyy Novosibirsk, the capital, we were originally farmers, but they decided to become merchants. We traveled around for several years before settling here shortly after it was founded and became farmers again."
He pulls out what appeared to be a cigarette, lighting it and putting it in his mouth, before taking another out and moving it towards you.
"Want one?" He asks.

What do you do?

>>30533420
And ruin this warriors body. No thank you.
So what sort of things do you do around here when not farming?

>>30533420
Nah, I don't smoke. I was just planning on checking out this store over here. Not sure if you want to come along or not to continue this conversation.

>>30533448
>>30533473
"And ruin this warrior's body," You ask, "No thank you. I was just planning on checking out this store over here. Not sure if you want to come along or not."
He just shrugs and walks along with the three of you.
"What sort of things do you do around here when not farming?" You ask.
"This," He says, "Walk around town, have a smoke or two. There isn't much to do in Novyy Uelen."

What do you do?

>>30533507
So what are some of the more interesting planets you have been to? You have probably never been to any of the planets we have been to considering where you started and ended up.
Ever been to a Templar station?

>>30533507
Not into farming I'm guessing?

>>30533396
Maybe we could convince him to come home with us then develop a relationship on the way home.

>>30533566
Don't we only have a few days out of cryo left? That's not really much time to be honest.

>>30533566
Even if there was no romance taking a human home alongside everything else would be nice

>>30533612
Agreed

>>30533612
Same. Might not agree with his introduction or any romance, but it is very interesting to bring a human along to bring along to our planet.

>>30533675
I don't have any problem with the introduction myself.

>>30533740
You're right, it wasn't that bad now that I think about it. It was similar in how we met Cardea.

>>30533740
I was just worried that Pluto might have rushed into the inclusion without much planning in how he'll fit.
But, I'm willing to give him a chance now that what's done is done.

>>30533528
>>30533548
"What are some of the more interesting planets you've been to," You ask, "You have probably never been to any of the planet we have been to."
"One," He says, "It wasn't a good planet for people to live on, but it did have trading platforms and such. All the life there was goo-based which was a bit funny."
"Ever been to a Templar station?" You ask.
"No," He quickly says, "Oni mogut trakhat'sya sami!"
"...Not into farming I guess?"
"Not really," He replies; calming down a bit, "I've always liked when I was a merchant with my family, exploring and trading. It was fun."

What do you do?

>>30534124
Take a look around they sell in this shop.
Why not go back to being a merchant that wanders around if you liked it so much?

>>30534124
Well you know we are our species first journy outside our home system and are heading home soon. I doubt the captain would mind if you came with us. We have already picked up plenty of others.
Then again it will probably be a while before our home planet is sending out regular space travel so you might just be stuck on one planet again for a decade.
You should think about it.

>>30534161
>>30534168
You enter the store and start looking around the shop there, it was mostly food so far.
"Why not go back to being a merchant that wanders around if you liked it so much?" You ask.
"My parents," He says, "They are extremely... clingy."
"...We are our first species journey outside our home system and are heading home soon," You tell him, "I doubt the captain would mind if you came with us. We already have picked up plenty of others. Then again: It would probably be a while before our home planet is sending out regular space travel so you might just be stuck on one planet for a decade."
"Sounds interesting," He says, "...I might have to take up your offer on that though. Have to see what my parents think, but they would mostly likely say no. I could easily run away though."

What do you do?

>>30534234
If they say no and try to stop you we can help you leave. We do have communications though so you could probably stay in touch.

>>30534234
It's going to be dangerous on this trip. Reapers have good reason to go after us, and I can't guarantee your safety. Are you still sure about this?

>>30534246
>>30534274
"It's going to be dangerous on this trip," You warn him, "Reapers have a good reason to go after us and I can't guarantee your safety. Are you sure about this?"
"Yep."
"Okay," You say, "If your parents say no and try to stop you we can help you leave. We do have communications though so you could probably stay in touch."
You give him a radio.
"Alright," He says, "I'll see you at five. If I'm not in front of the store at five you might need to help me. I'll also radio you if there's trouble before."
He takes a drag of his cigarette before placing it in your mane, smoking side up. He then walks away.
After a few seconds Cardea takes the cigarette, giving it a sniff, and then throwing it in her mouth as she chews on it.

What do you do?

>>30534395
You probably should not eat that.

>>30534395
I don't think you should be snaking on those.

>>30534395
...Well that was just rude to leave a cigarette on my mane. He could of lit it up for all he knows.
Also, Cardea, you're not suppose to eat cigarettes.

>>30534407
>>30534431
>>30534437
"That was rude," You comment, "He could of lit my mane up for all he knows... You probably should not by snacking on those, Cardea."
"Why," She asks, "They taste good."

What do you do?

>>30534493
I will leave Vine to explain that to you.
Scared straight and all that.
We should see if they have a mechanics here. Maybe we can learn about human moters and see how they differ from our own.

>>30534493
If she want to eat some light cigarettes, then let her. Let go do some shopping.

>>30534493
Because the purpose of it is to smoke it and not consume it. Also, smoking tends to cause health issues to yourself and those around you. Looks like you're an exception though.

>>30534530
>>30534532
>>30534563
"...I will leave Vine to explain that," You sigh, "Looks like you're an exception anyway."
You look around a bit and eventually stumble across an aisle selling a bunch of tools and parts, from a simple wrench to what appeared to be a large engine.

What do you do?

>>30534624
Guess we don't need a mechanic we can teach ourselves.
Purchase the engine and ask the shopkeeper if they have any manuals for it.

>>30534640
"Guess I don't need a mechanic," You smile, "I can teach myself!"
You purchase the engine, which costed you the rest of your Rubles, but it was probably worth it.
"Do you have any manuals for it?" You ask the shopkeeper.
He leans down and grabs out a manual for the engine block, which you could actually read!

What do you do?

>>30534746
Buy it. We could learn a lot with it.

>>30534746
Thank him and bring it back to the ship. Announce that we have picked up another crewmember.
Also take the samples to Vine.

I'm off to work but we better remember to pick up some pop culture stuff for Rust.

>>30534758
>>30534765
You quickly thank him and the three of you go back to the ship carrying your new load.
You place the engine in the cargo bay before making your way to the medba.
"We picked up another crew member!" You announce in the medbay; causing Vine to jump a bit as you gave her the samples.
"C-Cool," She stammer; calming herself down, "Who's the new crew member?"

What do you do?

>>30534853
A human we came across. Always wanted to travel as a merchant. A bit rude considering he left his used up cigarette on my mane. Cardea proceeded to eat said cigarette. You might want to talk to her about that.

...I hate bringing this up, but are we ever going to talk about what happened? I could wait until the end of the day, but my thoughts are going crazy trying to find some reason behind it.

>>30534948
"A human we came across," You explain, "Always wanted to be a merchant. A bit rude considering he left his used cigarette on my mane, which Cardea proceeded to eat. You might want to talk to her about it. And, I hate to bring this up, but are we ever going to talk about what happened?"
"Yeah," She says, "It's kinda hard to explain but: When you were talking it sounded a lot like something Rust would say. Half way through you were suddenly gone, and Rust was standing where you were... That's why I kissed you."

What do you do?

>>30535002
I had a feeling it was something like that. Must have been some hallucination to last for so long. Was it my apology and hesitation that made it seem like I was him?

>>30535002
That answers that. Still, it kind of interrupted our other conversation. My hesitation and confusion on this herd idea. Do you actually not mind? I don't know how do deal with this.

>>30535035
>>30535087
"I had a feeling it was something like that," You say, "Must have been some hallucination to last for so long. Was it my apology and hesitation that made it seem like it was him?"
She nods.
"...Still, it kind of interrupted out other conversation. My hesitation and confusion on this herd idea. Do you actually not mind?"
"I won't mind if you join." She admits, "And I doubt that Rust would object."

What do you do?

>>30535133
What do you think I should do? I'm not sure if I want to join, but at the same time, I don't want to throw away an opportunity of a relationship like this. It's hard to find someone who would go so far to those he cares like Rust.

>>30535169
"What do you think I should do," You ask, "I'm not sure if I want to join, but at the same time: I don't want to throw away an opportunity of a relationship like this. It's hard to find someone who would go so far for those he cares for like Rust."
"Do what you want," Quiet Vine tells you, "I'll support your decision either way. If you decide against it maybe you could hook up with that human you're bringing along. He does fit under your fetish category."

What do you do?

>>30535220
That he does. I should give that a try maybe.

>>30535220
He might have saved me from being hit, but I don't know if I can stand someone who thinks putting his cigarette on my mane is acceptable.
That, and I just met him today! There are other races I'm attracted to anyways.

>>30535253
>>30535263
"That he does," You agree, "He might have saved me from being hit, but I don't know if I can stand someone who thinks putting cigarettes on my mane is acceptable, and I just met him today!"
"He could've meant that as a joke," She tells you, "And he did save you from being run over apparently. There are people who seem mean, but deep down they are good people."

What do you do?

Stopping for the night.
Have a good night or day!

>>30535301
Maybe you're right, it was just a joke. A dumb and dangerous one in hindsight, but a joke.
Still, I just met him today. If I'm going to look for a relationship besides Rust, I might as well wait a short while till we reach Equus for more options.

Should we just let Eagle go back to Equus to look for a relationship there? There is indecision with Rust, and one with the human would just seem very rushed.
We didn't even care enough to ask what his own name was.

>>30535301
You raise a valid point.
I guess I will just have to wait and get to know him.

>>30535370
I don't see us having time to make any sort of choice or end up with the human before we are home.
Oh maybe that should be Plutos next quest. A short mini to determine who she ends up with.
Who will we choose. Rust, The human or one of the suitors who comes to us after we get home (preferably the human for me)

>>30536684
Eh, I'm not sure if it really warrants it's own quest, but I don't see Eagle being able to pick anyone either.
I personally don't see the appeal of her being with a human merchant. What is it about it that makes it an appealing and compatible couple for others out of curiosity?

>>30536813
Well for one it's not Rust which I think would be a terrible idea.
We also know she is into other species.
But I doubt it will get resolved before we get home anyway.
Maybe it will be neither of them.
