The Eastmount: Named for its geographical location east of mountains, it boasts lush jungles filled with horrible monsters, plains regions filled with the tribal and violent fhey, bands of Avicated bandits murdering people horribly and loose settlements called Freeholds which function as small principalities filled with scheming murderous assholes.

People wouldn't even bother with the region at all, except for the great city of Merkantus! Located in the aptly named Trader's Bay, the city is massive by medieval standards. Over a million people reside there, and its massive walls, constantly vigilant guardsmen and wealthy populace all gather there for one reason: The Magic Trade. Details to outsiders are extremely sparse, but it is the only known area in the whole world where one can get tattooed with the special magical symbols. These function as spells, and disappear from the body as soon as they're used, so the need is to always return. But who is giving the tattoos, and what are they asking for in return? You want some of that power....and here you are!

Well, soon enough anyway. It's a great day, and the caravan trundles along at a good place. You're excited. In your early adulthood, you've been wanting to make it to Merkantus since you were a little __________.

>What are you? A boy? A girl? First 3 posts nail it.

Hej, is a futab- boy.

>>312060
Boy.

Tell her in private? And risk the death of you and your friends? No. You break free from your captor's web thanks to your sword. In fact, it seems your surge of strength had occurred to the rest of your party as well, as only Anna was still hopelessly trapped in the webbing. “My, what strength! You would prove most delectable indeed!” They are charging. You can see four in total including her. You are all generally feeling a little bogged down by the webbing still lingering on you but you’ll have to fight.

Watch this intently.

>>310045
Bad splat! Bop his nose.

>>310045
Freeze in fear.

You glance over to the boy in front of you, sleeping away as if this isn't happening. You feel mad, terribly upset...you want to give Lawrence the cold shoulder and just stew in your bad mood for a while. The rest of you feels like crying though, and that's the part that drives you to talk.

"Yeah..." You don't want to disturb the little boy too much, but you're also trying to keep your emotions from all tumbling out, trying to keep yourself calm so he can't see how bad you feel.

A silence follows your answer, and as your back is still towards him you are unable to see what Lawrence might be doing.


"Why...would you do that...?" You don't want to say the word now, it feels...tarnished. The thought of what he was doing in the hallway leaves a bitter taste to your mouth, and you can't help but feel...betrayed?

"I t-...I trusted you..." You can't help the break in your voice as you say this part, despite trying so desperately to remain calm.

You shouldn't be as upset as you are right now, there are more important things to be worrying about. Yet there is a painful tightness in your chest, and the cold metal of the ring on your skin feels like it's burning.

How pathetic...getting upset over a...a kiss, while you're on the run from your rapist.

That thought doesn't stop it from hurting you any less.

"I didn't-...wasn't the...one who...wanted to...do it."

"What do you mean...she was pretty and...and looked like she knew what she was doing. It must have been nice..." A terrible thought comes to mind, and you let it come out to the air.

"Is...did you do that b-because I c-couldn't...w-wouldn't have....have s-se..." You bite your lip hard and whisper the word. "Sex...with you..?


Your stomach twists and turns as the thought of that. He said he was okay with it, that he didn't need sex but...but maybe he was just saying that.

There are plenty of times when you said something was okay, even if it really wasn't.

"I-...I'm sure she wouldn't have freaked out...you could have...have done anything you liked with her..." Your hands tremble as your fingers grip the blanket tighter, your vision blurring once again. "You c-could have done everything that you're s-...supposed to do...stuff that I c-can't do..."

"Delila-"

"And she was beautiful and mature and not all...all broken..." Everything you're not, you think to yourself. "The t-type of girl you d-...deserve to h-have instead and...and not have to play pretend with...it's o-okay...if you like her then it's f-...fi-...fine. I'd understand-"

It makes you feel sick.

[1/3]

>>309960
"Delilah. Please...calm down." Your voice must have been louder then you thought, choked full of tears that you want to cry.You lay there motionless, listening to the words Lawrence has to say.

"I didn't...want it. She thought...I was...a customer, and she...had too...much to...drink. I was...scared of...hurting her...if I...pushed her...away too...quick. I didn't...want to...kiss her. I didn't...know she...was going...to do...that. I'm...sorry you...had to...see it. I promise...it wasn't...because I...wanted it. I would..." Lawrence pauses for a bit, both to catch his breath and to consider what it is he's about to say next.

"I would...never do...anything with...another girl."

You don't say anything, and as much as it's painful you think back to the hallway.

Lawrence was up against the wall, eyes open, and his hands nowhere near her body.

You think back to the times you've seen other people kiss, when you've been kissed.

It's...usually the guy leading it in, right? Well....maybe who's doing the leading doesn't really matter...but Lawrence was pushed against the wall. Maybe that means...he couldn't move away? And his eyes were open...it's weird to keep them open, isn't it? Hers were closed, but...Lawrence had his wide open. And...and his hands were kind of funny too. Aren't you usually supposed to touch the person you're kissing? Like...hold them? Lawrence always held you when he kissed you...your shoulders or your cheeks, just some sort of contact. It might have looked like he was trying to keep his touch far from her body.

You bite at your chapped lip thinking over all of this.

Maybe...maybe Lawrence really was forced into it then....maybe she pushed herself on him, thinking she was helping or something? If...if that's the case then you can't...can't really get mad at him for that, can you.

After all, you know what it's liked to be forced into doing something.

[2/3]

>>309966
You wipe away at your eyes again, trying to clear your vision. You still feel rather upset, but...maybe more at yourself now? For overreacting before he got the chance to say anything to defend himself? And then you went and...and accused him of just wanting sex again...

You really are terrible.

"I'm...I'm sorry. I believe you..." The words are whispered, trying to remain calm with each syllable that comes out. Maybe you are dumb, just...just really dumb. You continue to keep your back towards Lawrence, but this time out of fear of looking at him. How stupid of you...

Why do you still feel jealous though?

"Please don't...cry."

"I'm not crying, I'm just...just tired." You lie, curling yourself up more. "Y-...you should go to sleep too. I l-...um, y-you know..."

You listen, able to hear that Lawrence doesn't move. Finally, after probably staring at you for the longest time, he lays down on the floor.

Your head hurts...and so does your heart.

You hate yourself.

...

You wake up when the door opens, but you don't rise up or open your eyes. You listen as you hear Faraway whispering to Lawrence, it sounds like there's a woman too. You begin to feel awful again before you realize that whoever it is, she's the mother of the little boy. There's the sound of her gently waking her up, and what sounds like the boy being picked up and carried off instead.

'-must attend errands today. Feel free to stay here till I return tonight, but please lock the door behind you. Kitchen will be unlocked and there's a phone in there if you absolutely need it." Sounds like Faraway is leaving Lawrence some instructions, and soon enough he leaves, the door closing behind. It's just the two of you inside the room now, and soon enough it will just be two of you in the whole building.

You try your best to fall asleep again, your eyes begging to be closed. No matter how much you try your head hurts too much for you to aquire sleep again. You toss and turn about, but no matter which way you face it does nothing to help the pain.

As you continue to lay there, you can hear snoring from the ground below you. There's an otherwise quiet lull in the building, and you suspect that by now everyone else has left. Faraway mentioned the kitchen would be unlocked, and you remember where the shower was from last time. You don't really have anything else for your pain right now, but you know you won't be able to fall asleep again.

What do you want to do?

“Oi, y’ere the new lad, right?” A thick Scottish accent bellows behind me. I turn in my swivel chair and gaze up at the hulking man in front of me. Easily over 6 feet tall, the man has white hair with scattered black bits throughout and a weirdly pornstyle-ish mustache with the same color scheme. His jawline is sharp and defined, enough to make a marble statue envious.
“Yeah, that’s me. Frank Portarelli.” I spit out, still sizing up the beast of a man.
“Good, good. I’m Lieutenant Caylor. I’m ya’ supavisin’ offica.” That accent is thick; this is gonna’ be a bear to understand him.
How do I respond?
>Remain silent, don’t wanna say anythin’ to embarrass myself, right?
>Stand up and offer a handshake. Course, that’s the right thing to do?
>”Rippin’ and rearin’ to go, L.T.! When do we get started?” Gotta get the first leg through the door, right? I’mma make Captain one day.
>”Oi, listen here ya dumb Scot, y’ere gonna have to speak clearly or I swear I’ll kneecap myself.” That forcefull approach outta get the respect I deserve, right?
>Submit your own!

>Stand up and offer a handshake. Course, that’s the right thing to do?

Really firm.

From last thread

>"Ehhhhh? Marisa is in Marisa's easy place."

You seem to spot a big brown bar in your nest along with Patchouli happily eating it.

>"Why is Patchouli eating big munch-munch?"
>"Patchouli needs to eat so the little ones can be born easy!"

You look up and notice something you didn't before. Patchouli had a stalk with several easy little Marisa and Patchouli growing on it unconsciously yuing.

>"Munch, munch, happiness!"

You look to your sides and realize Eirin and Kaguya are beside you eating the big brown bar too.

>"It's a good thing we got you here after you beat Myon!"

Myon? Weren't you in a fight with Youmu? Who's Myon? Wait, Myon is Youmu! Youmu is Myon! But how did you know that? How did Eirin know that?

>"Be born easy little ones, ze!"
>"Yuuu~ Yuuu~"

You took it easy. You'll live happily with your friends and newborn little ones now.

Until you woke up.

>"Marisa were you preggers? Eirin could hear you whisper "Be born easy" in your sleep!"
>"EHHHHHHHHH? It was Mister Dream-YUNYAH!"

You try to hop in shock but just wince in pain from the wounds from Myo-err Youmu. You notice Kaguya slowly waddling up to you with Shinmyoumaru resting on her head inside the bowl. She's clearly scared beyond belief now that you, the fury filled yukkuri from before, woke up from your "nap". With her you notice Patchouli too.

>"Youmu helped Patchouli and Marisa stay safe! Youmu also told Patchouli some history of this forest. Patchouli thinks Marisa should know. Youmu is an easy yukkuri and she only wanted to see how you'd last in a dangerous fight."
>"But Patchouliiiiii..."
>"Mukyuuuuun! Just listen to Patchouli!"

So what're you gonna do. You surely can't do anything physical since you're still REALLY hurt, but how're you gonna respond to Patchouli?

>A teenage girl from the city, flat-chested and short due to malnutrition, adventuring under the guise of a boy. Is unfamiliar with the majority of things in the countryside, but appreciates the clean air and peacefulness of her natural surroundings.

>>314925
Sorry for the delay, some personal issues had come up. Anywho.

However, it was a shame that peacefulness and natural surroundings were two things that generally did not go hand in hand. Sure, being able to call the capital city of the East home was better than most had it, but due to the on going holy war with the west and general danger of the world outside of the gates, stone walls, etc, this little world of yours had it's fair share of problems.

In the ruckus of it all it's easy to forget the basics... come to think of it, they'd slipped your mind at the moment.

What was the capital city of the East called?
What was the name your world commonly went by?
What name did YOU go by?

>>313044
>Things to keep mind of

No-Mans Land is filled with monsters and dangerous beings. Not safe for the common folks.
It's a well-established fact that the all 6 rivers seem very unnatural in how that they all end up in the center of the map.
The five stones story is an optional storyline for those who want to seek it. It does not affect that much of game play so please just do whatever you wish to do instead.

>Gameplay Rules
2 Actions per turn. 2d100.

Combat [War]
>Player 1 sends out # of armies to Player 2's nation.
>There will be a waiting period before the army reaches their location.
>Player 2 cannot do any actions to respond to such attack until they are notified in-game via spies, scouts, or rumors.
>Begin combat rolls.
>10d10 for every 1 army.

Combat [Person vs Person]
>Both players can list their tactic before attack. (Aim for legs, try to retreat, focus on defense. Just don't write long complicated stuff)
>Both players roll 3d5.
>Roll values can be changed determining by the event (sneak attack, range attack, multiple enemies)

Also join the chat for any questions or clarification.

It will be much easier for the GM and player to have a quick method of communication.

https://client02.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23Nation&server=irc.mibbit.net

One last thing,

To Nation players,
>You do not play as the nation.
You play as the leader of a nation.

To all Hero players,
Just because you are hero does not mean you have special rights.
You will die from stupid mistakes or going rambo so goodluck.
