Jack Chitin
"This is a bit awkward, but... do you have a name?"

She raises her eyebrow in a seductive way as she gazes at Jack.

Lunar Guardian
"Oh?~ Want to meet again later, hmm?~"

Jack blushes a bit.

Yuna
"Well, we don't usually refer to ourselves as individuals seeing that we are the will of the goddess, but if you need a way to identify me, you may refer to me as Yuna~"

Jack Chitin
"Yuna? That's an beautiful name."

Yuna
"Well, aren't you the charmer?~ If you continue, I might not be able to control myself~", she said in a seductive way

Instead of letting out an embarrassed reaction, like usual, Jack takes a deep breath.

Jack Chitin
"Then don't~ I like it when you're feral, it excites me~ Next time feel free to bite~", he said with his head up high, looking her in the eyes with a confident smile

Yuna looks at him in awe, out of breath. She violently grabs his bandages and pulls towards her, passionately kissing him. Jack grabs her neck and pushes her back a bit, their breath shivering from lust.

Jack Chitin
"Not now... Later~"

Consumed by lust, Jack punches the nearby tree, violently snapping it in half, discharging the power surging through his body. Yuna speaks up.

Yuna
"I'm... proud~ Those weren't just hollow words, you really are willing to accept who you are~", she said in a caring tone

Jack Chitin
"Like I said, I'm done dragging myself around. Time to see who the Jack that was buried underneath, really is."

Yuna embraces him with another, more gentler kiss, signalling that they continue walking. While they walk, Jack thinks to himself.

Jack Chitin
[I'm not going to lie... this actually feels good, asserting my power and dominance. Why have I been such a pathetic weakling for such a long time...]

As Jack and Yuna return to both Velvet and the Yuni, they are met with a comic scene. Velvet is slowly ripping her hair out in frustration as the Yuni keeps blabbering about.

Yuni Guardsman
"So yeah uhmm, there was like this huge uhhhh hairball I vomited the other day, and you won't believe what it looked like..."

Velvet interjects and runs towards Jack, hugging him.

Yuni Guardsman
"F-FINALLY... ahem, thank g-goodness you r-returned, Jack!"

Jack signals for Yuna to lead the way towards Feralia. As they walk, they pass some old Lunar ruins. Jack whispers the information he gathered, as well as the "diplomacy".

Jack Chitin
"Listen Velvet, I'm grateful for everything, but I'm done restricting myself based on others' expectations. I want to find out who I really am."

Velvet looked away and just nodded. At first Jack was worried at her unusual response, but part of him wanted to act like this, to feel powerful and not chained down.

Small error, that last Yuni Guardsman title is actually Velvet. Sorry bout that, their titles are both red so a small error there.

Confirm your sneaking suspicions. Lift up Velvet's hair, while going in for a kiss, to see if she's really someone else.

She is not acting like Velvet, she's acting like Umbra pretending she's Velvet.

Jack gets closer to Velvet and takes a peek under her hair, it's just her eyes, everything seems normal. However, she doesn't want to look at Jack, it seems she's upset about something. Jack thinks to himself.

Jack Chitin
[Is she mad because of the relationship she's expecting, or is it something else? Hmm, I wonder...]

Yuna grabs the crew's attention by speaking up.

Yuna
"We're here."

Jack notices a stone doorway sticking out of the nearby boulders. As Yuna recites some words and gestures with her hand, the door suddenly opens, emanating a cold gust. The crew enters and starts to descend into the darkness. As the door magically closes by itself, the nearby torches light up on their own. After a few moments of walking they reach a reception of sorts.

Yuna
"Alright, you, little one. Go back to your business.", she said while pointing at the Yuni Guardsman

The Yuni salutes and enters the nearby room.

Yuna
"As for you two, feel free to sit down. The goddess is currently busy, she will be ready for an audience shortly."

As the seductive Lunar Guardian slowly leaves the scene, she turns to gaze Jack and blows him a kiss, all while showing a lustful smile. Jack winks at her and sits down. Suddenly a loud hiss.

Yuni Priestess
"Hey, what's the big idea, buddy?!"

Jack jumps a bit, noticing that he sat on a Yuni's tail.

Jack Chitin
"Pardon me."

Yuni Priestess
"Well, to be fair, I should be more aware of where I put that thing."

Jack Chitin
"So, you waiting for Lua as well?"

Yuni Priestess
"Yes, she wants to talk to me. I'm one of the best priestess in my generation. Maybe it's a promotion.", she said in a excited tone

Jack Chitin
"Tell me, did you meet her before? How is she like?"

Yuni Priestess
"Oh the goddess is simply amazing! It's a shame about the Yuni and what we are now, but she doesn't want to abandon us. Bless her soul!"

Jack looks at the priestess in an intrigued way.

Yuni Priestess
"However, she has lots of enemies. I don't know why though... I guess everybody wants to win the Deity War. I hope the goddess wins though, not only for her sake, but for ours as well."


Possible actions
>"But everybody that I know say that Lua is horrible..."

"Did you know that we're actually here to fuck the Goddess? The both of us..."
(points at Velvet)
"...at once! Isn't that just crazy? Like, we're gonna get all freaky inside that sexy cat deity. I've already fucked 2 deities; I'm filling up my stamp card. Rumor has it that if I fill up the entire thing, I get a free ice cream."

Jack thinks of a suitable reply. He thinks of something a bit more brash, trying to tap into his inner emotions.

Jack Chitin
"Did you know that I'm actually here for a lewd conversation with the goddess?", he said while pointing at his muscular pecs, letting out a smug smile

Yuni Priestess
"Oh my...", she said in a flustered expression, placing her tiny paws on her mouth

Jack closes his eyes and nods in a smug way, giving notice that's he's pretty important.

Yuni Priestess
"You must be the young insect then?! Are you really gifted like rumors say?!", she said in an excited tone

Jack Chitin
"Wait what?! How do you know about that?!", he said in a surprised and confused tone, a bit scared

Yuni Priestess
"Rumors go among the oracles and priests, saying that somewhere out there is a Buzzer with great potential... I can't believe it's you!"

Jack tries to think of a reply, but words simply wont leave his mouth. Lucky for him, a Yuni commander enters the room and speaks up.

Yuni Commander
"Alright, the goddess has the following orders!"

The Yuni clears his throat.

Yuni Commander
"Timid Shadow, you will be escorted by this Yuni Priestess here, she will show you a library full of Lunar scriptures. The young Buzzer, you follow me, the goddess wants to talk to you, in private."

Velvet stops writing and closes her book, slowly standing up.

Jack Chitin
"Hey Velvet, I'll be done soon, I'll meet up wit..."

Velvet doesn't even look at him, she just follows the female priestess down the hallway. He thinks to himself.

Jack Chitin
[What's up with her... ]

Jack stands up and starts following the Yuni commander. After a few moments of walking, Jack speaks up.

Jack Chitin
"Is there any procedure before meeting the goddess, should I be aware of some special etiquette?"

Yuni Commander
"Just relax, the goddess will guide you through the conversation. You are really lucky to meet her, not many get that chance."

Walk in confidently. Remember, we are CONFIDENT Jack; we don't care what she has to think about us. We're just here to grace her with our presence.

"What's up, Lua? So, you needed me for somethin'?"

Imitate those popular guys that you saw get all of the ladies back when you caught glimpses of society. You now are that popular guy, so you can get away with it.

Jack Chitin
"Hey, do you know about Lua's champion? What is her job here?"

Yuni Commander
"The champion is the right hand of the goddess. She mostly spends time researching at the nearby Lunar Shrines. She's a very talented priestess."

The commander goes quiet again. Jack tries to pry for more info.

Jack Chitin
"How much does she tell her subordinates about her ideas and plans?"

The commander stops and lets out a sigh.

Yuni Commander
"Look, I have a lot of work today. The goddess will answer all your inquiries."

The Yuni points to the nearby door.

Yuni Commander
"Enter. It is dark inside, don't be afraid, the goddess will be with you in a moment."

With those words the Yuni leaves the scene. Jack slowly enters and closes the door. Nothing but pitch black darkness. Jack gets a bit anxious, however, the torches light up and he gazes upon a huge stone gateway. The humongous stone walls slowly start to scrape the floor as the gateway opens. A huge figure rests on the doorway.

Lua
"Well, well, would you look who it is~ We finally meet, young insect~", she said with a satisfied purr

As Jack gazes at the humongous goddess, he takes an audible gulp. A strange feeling of dread and tranquillity envelops his heart. However, he reminds himself of his new path. Jack takes in a deep breath and crack a confident smile. Lua notices it and chuckles.

Lua
"Let me slip into something more comfortable, something that you might find fitting~"

Suddenly the goddess explodes in a cloud of Lunar dust. As Jack waves his arm trying to clear the cloud, a figure around his own size emerges.

Lua
"It seems that this is more suitable, wouldn't you agree?~", she said while resting her hands on her thick hips

Jack gazes upon her beautiful body, speechless. He tries to concentrate and utter some words, however the Lunar vixen beats him to it.

Lua
"You can stop acting now, I know that you're bluffing~", she said with a smug smile

Jack pupils dilate in shock.

Jack Chitin
"Hah! You couldn't be more wrong, this is who I..."

The goddess moves next to Jack and wraps all four hands around him, gently caressing various body parts.

Lua
"You are who you are, and you are a weak and pathetic little insect, a slave to your own emotions~"

Jack clenches his teeth, about to give her a piece of his mind. However again, the goddess interjects.

Lua
"But that's why I love you~", she said while licking Jack's cheek, letting out a calm purr

Jack relaxes, trying to figure out what's the deal with the crazy cat.

Jack lets out a smug chuckle, thinking to himself.

Jack Chitin
[Hmhm, if she's anything like her guardians, she won't be able to resist my smooth moves... then again, why are all these deities so charmed by me...]

Lua
"Because you're cute~"

Jack blushes and looks to the ground with a coy smile.

Jack Chitin
"Oh stop it, I'm not tha..."

Jack look at her in shock.

Jack Chitin
"What the?! How did yo..."

Lua
"Go on, execute what you intend~", she said with a lustful smile, biting her lower lip

He turns his head to the side, gazing into her dark eyes. He slowly goes for the kiss, his lips quivering a bit. Suddenly something stops him.

Lua
"Hey, who's falling in love with who here?~", she said with a cute laugh

Jack notices that she's grabbed his cheeks and covered his mouth, stopping his plan. However, he didn't blink, the hand suddenly appeared there. And how it appeared, suddenly it disappeared.

Lua
"Go on~"

Jack closes his eyes and gives her a kiss. He notices that her lips are really cold.

Lua
"Why are you kissing a statue of me?~"

Jack hastily opens his eyes and notices that instead of Lua, there suddenly appears to be a stone statue of Lua in front of him, striking a sexy pose. Jack quickly turns around and notices Lua behind him, chuckling in a cute and smug tone.

Jack Chitin
"What... how... where... wha..."

Lua
"I know what you did with Yuna~ She really liked it~ This pleases me greatly, since that indicates that my suspicions are correct."

Jack's head turns bright red like a tomato. He shakes his head and tries to focus.

Jack Chitin
"Alright you crazy cat thing, enough games! Why..."

She interjects.

Lua
"...do I want you? Truth be told, Yuna was the one that found you. She's been monitoring your progress and actions ever since you met Luna. We can look through the eyes of every single Lunar worshipper. If it wasn't for her vouching for you, I would probably spend a lot more time searching for people like you. She seems to like you a lot~"

Jack Chitin
"People like me..."

Lua
"Gifted, special, unique... many names, same thing. You are an amplifier of primordial frequencies."

Jack looks at Lua with a confused expression.

Lua
"Or what you humans call, emotions."

Jack Chitin
"Emotions? But everybody has them, what makes me special?"

Lua
"Isolation. You see, all living things poses these primordial frequencies in one way or another. And when they are near each other, they intertwine and mix, making them weak and susceptible to infection. Spending a lot of time alone... you became pure."

Jack closes his eyes and grab his head, trying to process what she just said.

Jack Chitin
"That sounds... that sounds like..."

Lua
"...I made it all up? Ask yourself, why would I want Luna, a human priestess, when my affinity is with the Yuni."

Lua slowly walks towards Jack and with a snap of her fingers removes his clothes. She embraces him with a hug, licking his cheek with a cute purr.

Lua
"Affection..."

She takes his hand and slices it a bit with her sharp claws.

Lua
"...pain..."

She raises her hand, suddenly the ceiling of the sacred hall turns into a starry sky. Jack looks up in shock.

Lua
"...awe... all powerful frequencies. You possess a really powerful one, the thing that you yearned all those years in the forest. Affection and love. Unconditional love. Same as your childhood friend~"

Jack looks at her with a mix of sadness and tranquillity.

Jack Chitin
"Luna... but... you are evil..."

Lua
"They fear what they don't understand... the Pantocrator has infected everyone, signalling the end. In less than 24 hours, then end will begin."

Jack looks at her in shock.

Lua
"Tell me young insect, do you fear death? Do you even know what awaits after you depart?"

Jack Chitin
"At times in the forest... I wished death would claim me, but..."

Lua chuckles.

Lua
"If you really knew what lies beyond, you would cherish this life more than anything. I survived the Pantocrator's cycles, avoiding the purge, emerging victorious every time. Now tell me Jack, wouldn't you like to survive as well, and spend time with your childhood friend?"

Jack Chitin
"But that means... all these infected people... wait... what does that even mean?"

Lua
"Madness. Cut-throats, murderers, rapists, bandits. Normal souls that are succumbing to the infection. Have you ever asked yourself? Why do you hurt people, even though you are pure? Xeriana, Umbra... they are infected. And once you try to get intimate, the purity within yourself tries to protect your frequency from mixing."

Jack Chitin
"Does that mean that... that finally... that I'll..."

Lua
"...be happy with Luna? Yes. And that strong bond between two purities is what I need to win and save my followers."

Jack starts to tear up, showing a small smile.

Jack Chitin
"Can... I see her?"

Lua
"So I guess that means you would like to join us, no?", she said with a warm smile

Jack Chitin
"Luna...", he said with tears of joy gliding down his face

Lua
"Let's go find her then~"

She signals Jack to follow her. After some walking they arrive in front of a room, chatter emanating from the behind the door.

Lua
"Here we are, I hope that you are ready~"

Grub, I don't mean to be a dick but it seems like your railroading this shit really hard. We all know your headcanon waifu is Luna but it's pretty obvious that we don't want her anymore.
This whole "You two are totally the last pure people and Xeriana and Umbra are unpure :((((" is complete bullshit. That's like showing you a bunch of cars in a row and having the salesperson tell you that you can get whatever one you choose for free, yet your only allowed to get the first one he showed you. Not much of a choice senpai. I really like the quest a ton and have been watching since the beginning but you must understand why people are vying for Jacks self-destruction. They simply don't like the path the main character is headed down and because of this, are making every terrible decision possible. Please notice that everyone up until two-three threads ago has been going for a monogamous relationship with one of the characters. Now all the sudden it's become a blue board easy mode "/aco/'s Bang Quest."
Take a break Bug-Chan if you need to, your a good writer and quest maker but your running into issues that can be fixed with a bit of looking at things critically.

>but youre cherrypicking what you want for yourself rather than what the majority wants.
Have you not been following the last couple threads at all? The mood and vibe has noticeably changed as far as I can tell. It sounds like this recent turn of events is working out in your favor and you'd rather it not end. My only intention is attempting to help point out a problem that could hurt an otherwise really good series that's been on /qst/ for a long time.
>>
>>510641
I agree with >>512004
You did railroad this quest pretty hard and if your headcanon waifu is Luna I am going to go insane because if it means we were supposed to be with luna then FUCK YOU why because you want with the two people love each other but FUCK someone else for some GOD dam resin and lied when you said it was a FUCKING prank bro you know where this is from and my hate is really coming from two people love each other but FUCK someone else thing and at this point I'm simply ranting and no offense but I feel like this should have been a comic I do like this quest but I think when Jack died this quest kind of died to my too again no offense to you others do still like this quest but I don't feel like our votes really matter anymore and I bin having a love/hate relationship with this quest at this point I simply want to get to the end and end this relationship sorry but that is what I think I wish I seen that giant skeleton hand coming and FUCK that murderbug I still blame her for all of this and I hope she dies painfully and burns in hell forever.I needed to say that for a while.

I do like this quest but I think when Jack died this quest kind of died too. Again no offense to you but others do still like this quest but I don't feel like our votes really matter anymore and I been having a love/hate relationship with this quest at this point I simply want to get to the end and end this relationship sorry but that is what I think I wish I seen that giant skeleton hand coming and FUCK that murderbug I still blame her for all of this and I hope she dies painfully and burns in hell forever.I needed to say that for a while.

I went over this and fixed that written mess up a bit to the best of my abilities while trying to keep your wording so others can read it. Are you drunk or are you underage? Not even trying to be a dick here, just curious.

What he has to say up to 1:52 is extremely relevant to this quest.

Remember, we still can't trust anyone. Trust is something that is earned and Lua sure hasn't earned it yet.

you people are unbelivable.
for weeks you do little else but shitpost idiotic or irrelevant shit and now you complain that grub continues the story the way he sees fit if fuck all ever comes from you?.

yea i see jacks change also as a little to rapid, but remember that he is literly going insane right now?
everything that is happening is shit we have to deal with and all you worthless fucks just shitpost about eyebrows and fucking when were at a turningpoint in the story.

fuck this and fuck you people, if you cand handle sexuality in a story without your dicks taking over then fuck off.

Anons, lay your blame on me. I voted for fucking the lunar goddess because I knew anons would have anyway. No one else voted before Grub called it, and now you all are complaining of railroading.
>>
>>512345
If you remember, Grub was surprised anons voted for fucking the cat. Having something happen in the world you can't control isn't railroading, it's storytelling

Heres my argument

Why would Luna be a fucking the Yunis when she's seen jacks alive and that they would meet soon.
She loves the man.

WTF
I
WANT DEATH

GAS THE FUCKING CATS
JUST KILL THEM
>>
>>512546
there is a chance none of this is real, remember jack is hallucinating shit, and lua has fucked with jack for a while now.

best proof is that lua can read jacks mind, and if she can read him then she might be able to show him shit as well.
telepathy has a tendency to work in both ways.
>>
Anons, I'm going to explain my perspective here. You voted for fucking the guardswoman, and now are complaining of railroading. You wanted to fuck the cat goddess, which I proceeded to vote for due to me thinking anons wanted it, then you complained about railroading.

You're now saying that the idea of 'purity' is railroading. Having a bit of storytelling like this is not railroading. Keep in mind, we could have stayed with Velvet, Xeri, Umbra, any of them, but Grub is merely giving an IC reason for anons sperging out and trying to fuck all the women. That's not railroading in the slightest.

And to Mill's point, Lua directly stated during the lewds that Jack would feel perfectly tranquil, which he did. Luna most likely feels that as well, and remember she's been around Yunis for 2 years. She is used to the free love idea.

Holy Moly, we're breaking records left and right!

Alright, seeing that there is handful of topics that have been opened, I will take some time to write up meaningful and hopefully coherent responses to everybody's questions. Like always, I like to talk to people and I'll try to see how I can improve my service so that everybody has a more enjoyable time.

I would just like to say that, whatever I say in the following posts, don't take it as something personally, I would like to share my opinions as well which might sound a bit brash, but hopefully people will understand what I'm talking about.

Give me some time and I'll try to respond to everyone.

This isn't a normal story, this is a quest Lad. The player is supposed to choose his own actions and take the consequences whatever they may be and the QM is supposed to base their actions around the player which is what up until now, Grub has done a great job of it seems. Besides, Jack's insanity has nothing to do with these choices made in the past two threads. Those were the players self destructing Jack in an attempt to get back on the desired path. We're all adults here and can handle sex but this is getting ridiculous with this lewd quest. If I wanted that i'd be on /aco/. Once again, it sounds like this turn of events is in your favor and you'd rather it not end for you.
>>512541

>>512558
We tried staying with Umbra with a vote 4/7 in favor of staying with her but Grub wanted something else. Taking the choice essentially away from us, so we reacted like anyone else would and have been saying "fuck it, have him sex the cat up :^)" in protest. And yes, the whole "purity" thing is 100% railroading. Grub through story telling has told us (Granted Lua might be lying to us about it, but with all this lewd power additions I doubt it in my own personal opinion.) that anyone else other than Luna is corrupt and therefore out of the question if we want an optimal ending/Waifu. That doesn't sound like an open ended story telling to me, it sounds like railroading.

I never thought I'd care about a quest so much to be honest.

I've never been more in agreement in my entire life with a post, but Grub is indeed running a story rather than a quest. Shift your expectations; freedom of choice is an illusion. We all go down a pre-ordained path, if you think about it. No control, just spiraling down that path until we die.

I dunno. Would this give Jack the motivation to want to kill Yunis? I think maybe.

Maybe just kill the hybrids?

Alright, finally have some free time. Since we had 3 sessions in a row, I'll take a day or two break. Stay tuned for more info on when we get back.

Now, instead of a session, I will be here for the next 5-6 to six hours, slowly answering every single reply. If I miss something, feel free to remind me.

I want to come clean on how I run stuff, since I guess it isn't that obvious to most people, so that we ALL are on the same page on how things work in the quest. I think I was rather clear in the tutorial in the OP, but I'll try to give even more detial so we sort that out and have a fun time in the future.

So, expect the first few replies shortly. Once again, I just want to make sure that all of my statements are in the best intention, and maybe some stuff might come of as harsh/brash/asshole-ish, but I will further elaborate if need be to resolve any misunderstanding.

I'm a bit confused. Grub did everything anons voted for, and the second the world changed due to their actions they got pissed. If you wanted something else, why didn't you vote for it?

>Sure i'd be fine with the change if the behavior hadn't taken such a drastic turn. It seems like it's a way to try and bring back power to the players to me by destroying jack.

I sort of agree, sort of don't. At this point Jack has been lied to, betrayed, has betrayed others even. Point is, he's now setting out on his own path, one without waifus or god shittery, one where he's independent.

>I really hope so because this is not the path people seem to want to go down.

Why the fuck did you people not vote? This isn't the path anons want to go down in terms of story because Luna is their waifu. This is part of the story, and the way Grub wrote some of the posts hints at what is happening.

>We tried staying with Umbra with a vote 4/7 in favor of staying with her but Grub wanted something else. Taking the choice essentially away from us, so we reacted like anyone else would and have been saying "fuck it, have him sex the cat up :^)" in protest.

Grub through story telling has told us (Granted Lua might be lying to us about it, but with all this lewd power additions I doubt it in my own personal opinion.) that anyone else other than Luna is corrupt and therefore out of the question if we want an optimal ending/Waifu. That doesn't sound like an open ended story telling to me, it sounds like railroading.

I just went back to look at us 'trying to stay with Umbra.' 4 anons were against it, with one vote for it. I'm a bit confused as to the 4/7 split you are suggesting.

The purity thing isn't railroading, we can still love and go with whoever we want. I know I don't want Luna personally, but I'm sure at least Prude Anon does.

And last but not least, Grub is not saying Luna is pure in a typical manner. If you read the posts, you would know the 'purity' is a purity of emotions, not of heart or mind or body.
>>
>>510697
>Well, it's official. I have ceased to understand what the fuck is going on.
The story is still ongoing, a lot of things might seem irrational or weird. I intend to keep things mysterious, but hopefully things will be more clear in the future as we go on.

>>510778
>Those hybrids are Luna's kids i think, so they must be only a few months old
They are around the same age as Luna. How can this happen in such a short time span? Lua has access on how these things develop and grow, they reach full maturity in a couple of days. Remember the talk about the creepy science stuff in the past?

>>510787
>>512842
Like with this anon >>510697
I like to end on cliffhangers. Think of how popular soap operas have those "DUN DUN DUN" moments and they cut to the credits when an episode ends. It will be explained in due time.

>>512004
>Grub, I don't mean to be a dick but it seems like your railroading this shit really hard.
Alright, let's make things clear on the railroading. You can't a complex/serious plot and 100% player input/creativity. If you ever get the chance to be a QM, you will understand what I'm talking about. I though this was obvious, but seeing that lots of people are confused and yelling "RAILROADING!!!", I want to elaborate:

When a player adds input, that doesn't mean I will accept the answer fully. Sometimes to make things work in the grand scheme of things, I need to filter some stuff that I personally as the QM think won't fit in the story. That's just how I run the quest.

Again, that doesn't mean that I think "This action is bullshit, fuck you", no, far from it. If someone gives an action, I try to figure out and remember the reason why they do it. Someone is vouching for X character? Then I will try to give them more screen time. Someone wants to go to X location. I will try my best that we do that.

Imagine it as an child/parent hierarchy. I don't turn down your ideas because I look down upon you, I turn then down, because I think that as the storyteller, something else might be better in the global plan of things.

>>512004

To all combined, you need to remember that I'm working with lots of fans, and not everybody will like a certain outcome. Just like in politics, you can't please everybody, someone will get the shorter straw.

>>512207
>and if your headcanon waifu is Luna
I was afraid this would happen. I said that I like Luna, and everybody is now thinking that I'm rigging the story so that it ends that way, which is in it's entirety, false.

>should have been a comic
Refer to the railroad issue in the previous paragraphs.

>>512345
Again, like I said in the opening paragraph, the story is still ongoing. Twist and turns are there to keep things interesting and mysterious, rather than obvious which kills interest.
>>
>>512401
>>512485
As I mentioned countless times before, this is a dark and depressing world/story. It is supposed to make you feel horror/disgust. You don't watch a horror movie expecting sunshine and rainbows.

>>512540
>for weeks you do little else but shitpost idiotic or irrelevant shit
Like I said in the beginning I don't want to sound like an harsh, but this is true. There are more joke/meme answers than serious suggestions. How am I supposed to read that? And then people get mad when I actually do them?

>yea i see jacks change also as a little to rapid, but remember that he is literly going insane right now?
Yes you are on the right track. Seeing that Jack did have those visions about Luna, and thinking that Velvet is replaced by someone, indicates that he's maybe starting to crack.

>>512541
>Anons, lay your blame on me
No, I don't want for the blame to go to the players. If anybody is to blame, it's me, since I should have had this conversation long before. It's just that I though people already knew how things work within my quest. That lapse of judgement is my fault. But better late than never, so hopefully people will understand a bit better what they get and can expect from the quest and me as a QM.

>>512544
>If you remember, Grub was surprised anons voted for fucking the cat.
True. Here are some other things that I was surprised about, and where the choice come into play. There are just SOME on the top of my head:
>Jack's death
>Xeriana being a hot mistress rather than just a bug
>Umbra as a character
>Various lewd scenes
>Sacratus as a character
>Ikk and the goulash business, I was thinking of making him an enemy and fight the knights

>>512546
Every act, ranging from love, hate, pain, awe etc., has it's own frequency that Lua feeds on, that she enjoys. If she felt pain like humans, that doesn't hurt her like humans, she enjoys the vibration of the frequency.Now you should understand why Lua is so chill with what seems to be degeneracy. To humans it is degeneracy, but to her it's not. And new frequencies = something new and exciting to research.

Remember the knights? "You are fine now, but sooner or later you will fall under her influence!". Luna doesn't think like a human anymore. She thinks and acts like Lua now.

>>512558
Now that I get to this comment, it actually explains my previous paragraph. So I agree with this post fully more or less.
>>
>>512843
This is from the pinned /qst/ post:
>In a quest there is a single author who controls the plot of the story and who drives the creative process. They can choose to take suggestions from other posters, or not, at their sole discretion.

It seems that some of you guys want a lot of freedom, and I mean A LOT. Sadly, I can't provide that, seeing that this is a more serious quest, and I can't have everybody doing everything. Things must make sense. Jack can't do something that is not in his character.

Then you might think:
>What's the point then if you dismiss some stuff?
Emphasis on "some". Like I mentioned in my previous posts, there was a lot of things that the anons inspired directly or indirectly with their actions. Half of the content in this quest should be credited to the players. Consider that you action will have an impact in the future. It can give me an idea, it can inspire me, and if you pay attention, you will notice your input in the future scenes.

>bring back power to the players
Again, you want more freedom to do stuff as you see fit, Again, sadly, I can't provide that.

>I really hope so because this is not the path people seem to want to go down.
You talk as ONLY the people/players matter, what about the personal opinion of the QM? Again, refer to the /qst/ pinned post.

I guess a bus driver analogy would be fine. Imagine the scenario where I drive the bus (story):

>"Can we stop here for snacks?"
>Driver: "No, I'm on a tight schedule, I need to get to the next stop ASAP, since I'm running late."
>"Can we open the windows?"
>Driver: "Yes, just don't throw anything outside"
>"Can we go [insert street location] for a detour?"
>Driver: "We can't now, but I think that's a good detour for the next time I drive. I will do it in the future."

>>512843
>but Grub wanted something else
Yes, this might sound harsh, but Grub is the QM, refer to the /qst/ pinned post.
>Taking the choice essentially away from us, so we reacted like anyone else would and have been saying "fuck it, have him sex the cat up :^)" in protest.
>in protest
So once someone doesn't get what he wants, he should shitpost? That's a very dangerous and slippery slope. I've said that I have nothing but respect for the players, countless of times. But trying to cause problems towards a person that only has good intentions for everybody... I don't know what to say.

>I never thought I'd care about a quest so much to be honest.
I've said this a million times, if someone doesn't like the quest and how it's run, then it would be stupid to keep following it, no?

If someone thinks that the story, the characters, the way the story is being run, make them mad or uncomfortable, I advise that you stop following the quest for your own sake, because I said it in the beginning and lots of times, I run this quest for a certain audience.

I don't exclude anybody, join if you are interested, don't if you are not.
>>
>>512851
>Grub is indeed running a story rather than a quest
I'm running a collaborative project with certains rules, that have been explained in the OP tutorial and that are explained in more detail now. Again, a certain audience. This quest isn't tailored for all possible demographics and all possible types of people.

>freedom of choice is an illusion
You are outright wrong, if you haven't noticed that I implemented half of the quest from the players wishes, then I don't know how to convince you otherwise.

>We all go down a pre-ordained path, if you think about it. No control, just spiraling down that path until we die.
Please don't spout nonsense. I understand if you don't agree with me as the QM on certain things, but this is just insulting towards all the effort I put into trying to keep most people happy and pleased.

>>512855
>Thing is, quests are interactive, but you're not always going to get to set the rules of the world.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

>>512888
>I'm a bit confused. Grub did everything anons voted for, and the second the world changed due to their actions they got pissed. If you wanted something else, why didn't you vote for it?
Exactly, I'm not a mind reader.

>Why the fuck did you people not vote? This isn't the path anons want to go down in terms of story because Luna is their waifu. This is part of the story, and the way Grub wrote some of the posts hints at what is happening.
>and the way Grub wrote some of the posts hints at what is happening
Again, true

>>512888
>I just went back to look at us 'trying to stay with Umbra.' 4 anons were against it, with one vote for it. I'm a bit confused as to the 4/7 split you are suggesting.
Exactly, and I as the QM have the freedom work with that data and come with the best possible action from my perspective and with the information I possess

>And last but not least, Grub is not saying Luna is pure in a typical manner. If you read the posts, you would know the 'purity' is a purity of emotions, not of heart or mind or body.

>freedom of choice is an illusion. We all go down a pre-ordained path, if you think about it. No control, just spiraling down that path until we die.

It's a transition into a morbid joke. Though if you could connect that to your quest, then that's you realizing something, not me.
>>
I think that's pretty much everything covered more or less. I'm sorry, but I can't make a short recap of everything, since it will pull things out of context. If you want a full understanding, and know me better as a QM, then read all what I wrote today in the last few posts.

Also, the following that I'm about to say is a little bonus from me, a bit of my own thoughts. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to brag, but I just want for you guys to try to understand me from a QM perspective.

Drawing a scene, writing a scene, thinking about the implication, making most of the people happy, and living your own life (going to the toilet, eating) in 30 minutes, is one heck of a challenge.

So next time, if Grub does something that weird or seems like a mistake, just remember that's he's human as well, and cut him some slack. I try to run this quest to the best of my ability. And for someone that:

>Started questing 3 months ago
>Haven't written stories before

I think that I'm doing a pretty good job.

That's pretty much it for what I had to say, I hope that everybody knows more or less how the quest works now and what you can expect from me as the QM. I hope things are more clear now.

For those that agree to the terms of service, I hope you continue having a pleasant time. For those that don't agree with the terms of service, I don't think I can help you, maybe the quest isn't just for you then.

I'll be honest, that makes me really sad. Like not sarcastically, but seriously. I guess you have a wonderful life Grub.

I wanted to find a proper reaction image, but I only have sarcastically sad, not legitimately. So I guess that I'll post this one last time, because you were the one who inspired me to practice drawing and buy my drawing tablet. Thanks for that. See you later, m8.

In a way, Jack was always like that. It's a constant struggle between his "I don't want to hurt others" and "I want to hurt other because they hurt me" emotions.

>>513096
Could you elaborate a bit more on what you meant with your post? I'm currently juggling a lot of information and trying to reply to everybody, so you have to excuse me on that.

Sad to see you go, but if you don't like how things are run, then I can't help ya.

>>513107
Yes, criticism that's based on your own opinions. I don't want to be rude, but running the quest alone is enough work and stress as it is. I just don't have the time nor energy to deal with even more stuff. So that's why I had this intermission.

I'm doing things in my own unique way, like many other QMs that run their business in their own way.


Again, I'm not forcing anybody to leave, I'm just saying that if you don't agree with how I run things and how the story goes, then why continue following the quest? That's all I'm saying.

I mean, I wrote a tutorial about it, I though that was obvious, but I guess some people couldn't figure it out on their own, so I explained it in more detail.

>>514272
That's a good observation, and if you think about it:
She's lying

>>514733
>yet to develop a fucking solid personality?
>yet
I don't know where you people are getting these ideas, try re-reading the scenes. We all know that Jack has trouble with socializing, that he's a coward and sometimes a liar. He tried to act tougher, but Lua saw through his charade. Telling him that he is who he is. And even though he harbours anger and hate for his condition, he can't bring himself to truly hate someone. Even now he still was and is concerned about Velvet not talking to him, instead of not paying attention at all.
>>
>>514845
Oh Lua, that cheeky bitch. Anyways, I like your story Grub, though the only thing I really don't care for is that Jack seems to jump around from girl to girl a lot, but that's the players choices for the most part.
>>
>>518487
>Anyways, I like your story Grub
Thank you, that means a lot!

>though the only thing I really don't care for is that Jack seems to jump around from girl to girl a lot, but that's the players choices for the most part
That's the constant struggle. I'm a very new QM that has a few months of experience. Truth be told, I'm still figuring out what my style of storytelling is. Which is noticeable, seeing the recent hiccup in miscommunication between me and the players in general.

The thing is that this quest started out as a very open quest and I really did allow for a lot of stuff to happen and various player input, but as the story started to get more and more complex, I just feel that if I want to continue doing the story I need to readjust some things about actions, maybe another way or format of player input.

So that the people don't get me wrong, I appreciate the players and like I said many times, I wouldn't never do something that would disrespect or insult them, at least not deliberately, I can always make mistakes, I'm human after all.

Because here is another issue: The sessions are getting increasingly more stressful for me, rushing against the clock to push out updates/scenes in under 40 minutes. I try my best, but sometimes it takes over an hour. I don't know how the players feel about a change? Should I invest more time into the scenes or make the ASAP?

There are some of the things that I'm thinking about right now.

Also, we continue tomorrow, since I have a busy day today!
>>
Also, I'll drop by some of my thoughts about the current state of the quest and stuff in a little while!
>>
>>518519

So, like I mentioned earlier, I'm looking for a new format to process player input. It seems that sometimes write-ins cause more shistorms than simple A, B and C choices. Seeing that the story is going in a more serious/complex route, I'm thinking of only having set choices.

Also, I have a feeling that a lot of people just lurk in the threads following the story from time to time. I mean, I have nothing against it, and I see that most people just want to lurk and follow the story without writing much or at all.

Like I said earlier as well, how do you guys feel about the sessions? Would you want updates that they are spread along the whole day? Maybe I'm rushing these updates and that might lower the quality of the story, maybe I should spend more time on them.

I mean the plan for this quest was something that you follow "in the background". Maybe something that you would check on every hour or so, rather than sticking around during the whole session.

These are just some things that I'm thinking about mixing stuff up with the quest. I mean, at the end of the day, the main objective is that you guys find the story interesting to follow.
>>
That would work for me, also set choices may sound off putting to some, but I'm sure it will make it a lot easier to implement input especially since you won't have to deal with excessive actions or actions unbefitting of a character. I do kinda like the idea of the sessions being spread out, especially because the last thing I would want is for you to have to rush scenes.

Even if I didn't like this new idea, you are the QM, so your feelings on it should weigh a little more than mine. Considering that this is your time and effort being invested here, so whatever makes it less stressful/work better with your schedule really.
>>
>>518965
Thanks for the feedback.

>Even if I didn't like this new idea, you are the QM, so your feelings on it should weigh a little more than mine. Considering that this is your time and effort being invested here, so whatever makes it less stressful/work better with your schedule really.

Well, the main thing is that even a few weeks back, I was starting to enjoy myself less and less, and things got more and more stressful for me regarding the quest. It was just too much thinking and calculating. It didn't feel like a fun hobby, it felt more of a job/work than anything else and I didn't enjoy doing it anymore. So I'll change things up a bit and we'll see how it goes!

Here is what I have in mind:

Have 2 to 4 options per scene (A B C D), and remove write-ins. Instead, if the players want to add their own ideas, they can add them to make the (A B C D) options more detailed which reflects in the dialogue, but the ideas need to be within the context of those options.

>For example
If there is a choice "Talk about Solaris". Picking it will make the characters talk about Solaris in general. If the player picked that option and added "Why are most of Soalris' followers located in the desert?", that's a good example of extending and moving the dialogue in a certain direction, within the context of the given choice, which is talking about Solaris.

During the quest, there will be moments of less and more player freedom, sometimes I myself don't know where to go, so the player can choose a sharp turn/direction where we continue. The choices also work as small surveys, if I see people voting for a topic a lot, I will invest more effort into exploring that topic in the future.

It's also easier for lurkers and players that aren't on a desktop device, you can simply vote by replying with (A B C D). For those that want get more involved in the dialogue/lore you can extend the given options.

Also, if I took it more chill and stress free, I don't think I'll need breaks. I can update with a couple of scenes every day.


In conclusion

I'm trying to find a middle ground. A place where both the players and the QM will be content. I'm doing this quest for people that like this certain way of storytelling, in my own style. If I'm selling meat, it wouldn't make much sense to cater to vegans, right?

I know that some people won't like these changes, but like I said, the quest isn't made for every audience in mind. At the end of the day, I'm doing this because it's fun, because I love doing this. If I'm doing it in a way that makes me miserable and feels like work rather than enjoyment, then what's the point, right?

After the intense session with the sly goddess, they both pick themselves from the ground. Filled with ecstasy and intoxicated by the fury vixen, Jack punches the nearby wall and exclaims.

Jack Chitin
"That was amazing.... oh man....", he said while taking deep breaths

Lua lets out a satisfied chuckle, trying to fix her appearance from the rough session.

Lua
"Well, well~ I'm pretty satisfied with you, young insect~"

She clears her throat.

Lua
"I would like to rest, would you be so kind to do a favor for me?~"

Jack Chitin
"Anything for you, my goddess."

Lua
"I'd like to seal our little connection. Dispose of your shadowy friends for me, show me your loyalty~ She threw a fit when we didn't let her meet you again. You'll find her in the prison cells."

Jack Chitin
"Consider it done."

Jack slowly starts walking away, however, Lua catches his attention.

Lua
"What about your little love over here?~", she said while pointing at the window

Jack Chitin
"Friend, you mean. You are my love~ I'll talk to her later.", he said with a confident smile

Lua lets out a satisfied purr while rubbing her lips in a seductive way.

Jack thinks about talking about Luna, but seeing that the goddess is yawning a lot, he decides not to agitate her. However, he saves the topic for someone else. Jack gets on his way, and after a few moments of walking arrives at the prison cells. He tells the Lunar guards to give him a moment, alone. After they closed the door, Jack walks down the hallway filled with various sized cells. Soon after, he arrives at the one containing the Timid Shadow.

Velvet
"Jack!", she said in distress

Jack Chitin
"Hello, Velvet. You probably know why I am here!", he yells

Velvet
"Oh no... t-they, she... she's a-already gotten to y-you... Jack, s-snap out of it! They a-are controlling you, t-this isn't who you are!"

Jack takes the Lunar sword from the nearby weapons rack and slowly opens the door. Velvet starts to scream.

Velvet
"Jack p-please! Don't d-do this! I l-l-love you Jack! P-PLEASE!", she said while sobbing

Jack swings the heavy Lunar sword. Velvet covers her face and closes her eyes.

[SLASH!]

A few seconds pass, and Velvet notices that she's still alive. As she slowly opens her eyes. She notices that Jack has struck the wooden bed. Jack embraces her with a hug.

Velvet
"J-Jack.... wh-wha..."

Jack Chitin
"Ssh-shh-shh. The guards think that I killed you. I'm glad to see you, Velvet. I understand everything now. You were right about everything.", he whispers with a lump in his throat, as he slowly grips Velvet tight

Velvet places her arms around Jack's neck, slowly hugging him and letting out a sigh in relief.

Jack Chitin
"You can't change, you are who you are, no matter how much you try. I am a cowardly animal, manipulated by everyone. The good news is that I learned a lot. I've been thinking about it wrong the whole time. Instead of searching for a strength within me... my weakness is my greatest weapon."

Velvet blushes and looks at Jack in confusion.

Jack Chitin
"I'm sorry for hurting you, but to pull this off, I needed for you to believe it as well. I don't want to hurt you ever again, my dear... my beautiful... Velvet...", he said with a few tears flowing down his face

Velvet clenches her teeth and grips Jack tight, letting out a few sobs of relief.

Possible actions
A - Velvet: "What h-happened with Lua? I'm c-confused..."
B - Jack: "Let's not waste time, let's get out of here."
C - Velvet: "What a-about Luna?"
>>
>>520527
>C - Velvet: "What a-about Luna?"
Need to save her and kidnap Belua
>>
>>520535
If by saving her you mean stabbing her and purging the rest of the furry degenerates then yes.
>>
>>520527
>C - Velvet: "What a-about Luna?"

>>520535
seconding this both luna and belua need to get away from luas mindcontrolling influence.
>>
>>520527
Jack isn't so easily corrupted, hell yeah
>C
>>
>>520535
I agree, Luna may not be as far gone as we thought, if Jack is capable of resisting the temptations/persuasiveness of lua, perhaps the her champion is also as strong willed as lua claims
Also yes, best daughter character must also be saved
>>
>>520557
yea but we have to be prepared that at least one of them needs to be deprogrammed, luna was under luas influence for years and belua literly all her life.

just like every cultmember that has been saved, one or both of them will need some serious help to function propperly again and think for themselfes.
best way would be to show them something fucked up that lua does.
for example maybe what happens to "unusable" hybrids.
wouldent surprise me if lua gets rid if every hybrid that has ourlifed its usefullness.

just think how luna would feel if she finds out about her kids being killed.
>>
>>520572
For Luna it's at least been a year and a half, including the time skip when Jack watched a play with Umbra and velvet, but I'm still curious about belua's age and how she grew up so fast.
Hyberbolic time chamber or crazy cat magic i don't know
>>
>>520578
crasy cat magic, grub already said thats how both belua and the hybrids grow up in a matter of days.
>>
>>520578
bigger question is how to deal with luna after we save her, now that lua turned her into an obidiant little cockslave.
(dont see it as a bad thing though^^)
>>
>>520581
Wouldn't they expire relatively quickly too? Or does cat magic make them age normally once they mature? Also with them aging so fast, how do their minds develop? Language, knowledge, etc. Does lua have that "installed " by default?
>>
>>520594
Yes, Lua can manipulate their growth, since they are The Children of the Moon. Now, it's only a matter of time since they start multiplying among themselves, working on a huge army.

Also, update in a few minutes.
>>
>>520594
those are all thing we have to find out, belua seems to age at a rather normal pace now, but no idea how that is with the hybrids.

for example in starwars the clone army had an exelerated growth thad had them grow up from birth to mill age if 20 in a matter if one year, but that gave them a life expectency of around 10 years.
candle that burnes twice as strong lasts only halfe as long kind of thing.
even though genetic engineering could fix that, but well none of those hollywood fucks ever understood science.

Velvet
"Jack... what a-about y-your friend, did y-you find..."

Jack closes his eyes, lets out a painful sigh and interjects.

Jack Chitin
"I did... she's... she's d-dead to me. The t-things that I saw....", he said while clenching his teeth, sobbing

Velvet
"Jack, we c-can save her, w-we n-need to g-get out of here!"

Velvet rushes out the cell, but Jack grabs her hand.

Jack Chitin
"Velvet... you don't know, what she did... it's one thing to be manipulated. But she enjoyed it. Maybe... no, she was always like this. Curious about the world around her, and now I see why Lua took her under her wing... she's de... she's dead to me..."

Velvet
"But Jack, she's your..."

Jack Chitin
"Velvet, we don't have time, listen, Lua is lying. She isn't gifted, look. She cut me, but when we embraced each other, nothing happened. She's a snake, a master of deception and manipulation. She can summon illusions and trick your mind. Now I see why she allied with Umbra.", he said while showing his still wounded arm

Velvet
"But h-her followers, m-maybe Luna, m-maybe she c-can be sav..."

???
"Save your breath lady, the Buzzer is right... at least someone... figured it out...", the voice said while coughing

Both Jack and Velvet are startled by the voice, they exit the cell and find a peculiar character in the next cell. Velvet notices the severe wounds on the Yuni.

Velvet
"Oh m-my... you p-poor thing...", she said while covering her mouth

The Yuni gazes upon Jack and smiles.

???
"Congratulations, Buzzer. You are the second one that I know... that figured it out... I don't know how you pulled it off... to fool her... but gaze upon the prize... the prize of what happens when you rebel against her deviancy..."

The old Yuni starts to cough blood and starts to wheeze, trying to catch his breath.

Jack Chitin
"What... you went against her will?"

The geezer starts to chuckle.

???
"I guess... when you try to do the right thing... to be humble, to be nice, to be good with all your heart... you turn out the biggest fool... the Buzzer is right, shadow lady. Lua can influence you, but in the end, you make your own choice... and I made mine... my grand-daughter did the same, but she was lucky and was able to escape..."

The Yuni clenches his teeth and closes his eyes, tears flowing down his face.

???
"I tried... I tried to keep them safe, the fool I was, thinking that the goddess... and my son... I did everything for him... and he abandons his family... I could... I could strangle him with my own hands....", he said while sobbing

Jack takes the cell keys and unlocks the iron door that's caging the Yuni Elder.

???
"What are you doing, Buzzer?", the Yuni looked at him in confusion

Jack Chitin
"You're coming with us fleabag, beats sitting in this dump, no?", he said with a confident smile

The Yuni is taken aback by Jack's gesture. Jack picks him up and places him under his arm.

Jack Chitin
"Ugh, you Yuni aren't as light as you seem... you need to cut down on those mice..."

The elder chuckles while coughing.

???
"You're a funny one, aren't ya? Just like my... never mind. Let's get out of here. Thank you, kind Buzzer."

Jack takes a few steps, then starts to slow down.

Velvet
"Ugh... J-Jack... are you o-ok?"

Jack Chitin
"I just... haven't slept... in a day or two..."

Velvet takes the Yuni and places him on her fluffy hair.

Jack Chitin
"T-Thanks, honey..."

Jack freezes for a second, thinking about what he just said. He slowly turns towards Velvet as they walk. She's blushing with a warm smile, playing with her hair, satisfied with what Jack just said. Jack lets out a quiet chuckle and shakes his head. The elder notices the warmth towards each other and speaks up.

???
"That is... heart-warming to see. Two people enjoying each other's company in a pure way. I forgot... how that looked like. I don't even know what to do now..."

Jack Chitin
"Find your son. Talk to him, at least... he has a father.", he said with a heavy sigh

???
"That stupid and careless kitten... his fiancée died in a very violet way. Ever since then, he was never the same."

Jack Chitin
"Sorry to heart that..."

???
"I don't know if he's alive anymore. He... has a daughter... and now she's missing as well... I want to find him. But I don't know where to look..."

Velvet
"Ahem, if I m-may interject. Once w-we escape, our p-plan is to get to Mirabilia Trade. The p-place is known as a great merchant c-crossroad. Lots of r-rumors and information can be b-bought for the right price. Maybe w-we can h-help you find y-your son? What d-do you say, J-Jack?"

Jack Chitin
"Of course, so far you're the only polite and normal Yuni that I met.", he said with a chuckle

The crew enters what it seems to be a small hall, branching out in different directions.

Jack Chitin
"Hmmm, a crossroad. Velvet, did you find anything useful at the library?"

Velvet
"I have to a-admit, they have a p-pretty amazing l-library with a lot of ancient t-texts on various magical t-topics. However, the library w-was heavily guarded, if they see m-me again, that will surely alarm t-them."

Jack Chitin
"Yeah, and the reception area was pretty crowded when we were there, so that might be a problem."

The Yuni clears his throat and interjects.

???
"Pardon my interjection, but I've spent quite some time in these catacombs back in the day. The staircase to the right leads to the lower parts of the catacombs. If I recall correctly, the lower levels contain the research labs, which are reserved for the most talented priests and priestesses. The researchers usually require peace, so the tunnels and labs are free from soldiers. They have various escape tunnels in case the catacombs get attacked. We could sneak out of them without much trouble... hopefully."

Velvet ponders on the idea and looks at Jack, which in turn nods at her.

Jack Chitin
"Sounds like a plan."

As they slowly start to walk down the stairs, the elder speaks up again.

???
“Alright toots, forward march.”

Jack looks at him with a frown.

Jack Chitin
"Hey! That's no way to talk t..."

As Jack catches up to Velvet from behind, trying to grab the Yuni, she raises her hand like she's about to slap Jack.

Velvet
“Jack… don’t you dare ruin this moment for me.”

Jack recoils back. Velvet suddenly stops and freezes in her place. Jack's heart start to beat like it's going to explode, his forehead trickling with sweat. He slowly reaches to grab Velvet's shoulder.

Jack Chitin
"V-Velvet... p-please tell me... i-it's y-you..."

As Jack tries to turn her around, a portion of her head violently cracks open with corrupted flesh emerging out of her brain. Velvet turns around, showing Luna's disfigured face. Jack tries to speak up, but can't utter a word, nor take a breath. As he slowly starts to choke, frozen in place, the corrupted being starts creeping up towards him.

Corrupted Being
[incomprehensible language]

The flesh suddenly spikes forward and pierces Jack's chest.

Velvet
"Jack, are you alright?"

Jack opens his eyes, greeted by Velvet's worried face. The Yuni Elder, still resting on her head, with an intrigued look on his face. Jack takes a deep and shivering breath, slowly looking around the room and letting out an audible gulp.

Jack slowly calms down and lets out a worried sigh while rubbing his face.

Jack Chitin
"It's... it's the images again, Velvet... I don't know if it's because I'm tired, because of Lua, or that I'm going crazy... I just down know..."

Velvet looks at the Yuni Elder with a worried face. The cat nods at her. Velvet slowly puts him down and embraces Jack for a hug, slowly rocking their bodies.

Velvet
"Take it e-easy, Jack. You h-haven't slept for a while, a-and a lot h-happened, it could be t-the fatigue."

Jack thinks to himself.

Jack Chitin
[This has been happening for days now, even before we met Lua... I don't want to tell her now, the situation is bad as it is. I just hope we get out alive.]

Jack speaks up.

Jack Chitin
"We can worry about it later, for now, let's just try to get out of here."

Velvet
"Alright, Jack. Just be c-careful, if you ever get a-anxious, I'll try to h-hug you. If you see a-any images of me walking towards y-you, just try to r-relax."

Jack Chitin
"Thanks Velvet, I'll keep that in mind. Ahem... Yuni, are you alright? Can you walk?"

???
"Yes, I am alright. I think I can walk from here on. Once again, thank you for helping me in a dire time. I will find a way to repay your kindness. Follow me, I'll lead the way.", he said with a confident smile

As the Yuni leads the way, Jack speaks up.

Jack Chitin
"If I may ask, what position did you have here?"

???
"I did several things in my lifetime for the Lunar Cult. I spend a lot of time practising and researching Lunar and other magic paths. Later, when I got older I decided to make my knowledge useful for combat purposes. During this time I got married and my wife gave birth to three kittens over the years. Several decades later my wife died, I retired, and continued my research."

Velvet
"I'm sorry for you loss...", she said in a sad tone

???
"It is what it is, life and death. But thank you."

The crew continues to descent deeper into the catacombs. After a while, they reach the Lunar research labs. The Yuni scouts ahead, using his inherited feral agility. Soon he rejoins the crew to fill them in on the situation.

???
"There seems to be nobody around, the crystals are deactivated. They've halted research for a few days. I've noticed some locations that we might consider. Firstly, there are the specimen labs where they work on biological research. Second, there is a small library with some tomes and equipment. And lastly, further down the hallway, the stone walls fade. Crystal and uncut rock indicate that those might lead towards the enriched crystal mines. All three locations surely lead to an escape tunnel. The question is, which path do we take?"


Possible actions
A - Go towards the biological research labs
B - Go towards the small library and storage halls
C - Go towards the crystal mines

are write-ins kill?
>>
>>522293

Regarding your spoiler question. In a way, they're not fully kill, they just took another form. Dunno if you read the discussion about player input and stuff a few posts back, but I've decided to change things up a bit. Instead of write-ins, now you choose one of the choices and, if you want, you can give your own extension to it.

Something like you did, you chose action B and then you explained what we might do while we are at the library/storage. If you and other players just chose the action without the extension, I will think of something for the players.

If you want detailed elaboration on the change, catch up on previous posts and discussions in the thread.

Could this blood magic ability be used in more creative ways?
Such as when velvet hugs him in the event of a image from lua, could he channel the healing effect to his mind? Or maybe a mental block in order to cast out invading forces or effects.

or if you will, BUILD A GREAT WALL in his mind
>>
>>522419
very good idea the healing is something that only works with he real valvet, that would be a very good focus for his mind.
>>
>>522419
>BUILD A GREAT WALL in his mind
The bigger question is who's gonna pay for it? :^)

But joking aside, that's a great question! Velvet and Jack are on a road to discover more and more about their Purity gift and how it works. Speaking of the devil, I was just about to do some dialogue on that in the next scene.

The mystery here is, if the PTSD that Jack is getting is even connected to Lua. Maybe it's something else that's invading his mind? Or maybe Jack is just going crazy from everything that happened to him...

Check out the symbols next to horror Luna in the gif here >>522144, it's a clue

Also, working on the next scene!

the more is happening, the more i have a feeling that jack is being chosen by the allmighty.
the same way ikk was, and remember how fuckd the mouse was?

well first things first, lets find something that will help us to burn this sucker down and then legg it good and propper.

we can try figuring out what is going on when jack and the gang are in the clear.

Velvet
"I think we s-should go through the l-library and s-storage rooms. I w-would like to look for s-some ancient s-scriptures that I'm interested in, m-maybe we c-can find them here."

Jack Chitin
"Sounds good. I would like to search for a book as well."

Velvet scratches her cheek and gives Jack a puzzled look.

Velvet
"A b-book? About w-what?"

Jack Chitin
"Forging artefacts. Yuni Elder, would you be so kind as to scout the area down the hall, try to see if we are nearing the escape tunnels."

The Yuni nods and rushes down the hall. Velvet and Jack enter the room. Jack starts to pile up the nearby wooden furniture and the Lunar crystals.

Velvet
"I found s-some notes on a-artefact forging. It isn't m-much, but there might b-be some missing p-puzzles in h-here that I need. What are you d-doing, Jack? Why aren't y-you looking for weapons?"

Jack Chitin
"These weapons are great and all, however, if you can figure out some stuff about artefacts, these will be baby stuff compared for what I have in mind. Also, trust me Velvet, we just need to blow this place up. Let that putrid deviant choke on her own moon dust."

Velvet
"B-Blow u-u-up?", she said with a nervous chuckle

The Yuni Elder slowly returns from his little recon mission. He breaks the nearby chair with his leg and uses a piece of the wood as a walking stick.

???
"Oh, curse these old bones...", he said while adjusting and stretching his back

Jack Chitin
"Any luck?"

???
"Yes, a minute or so of walking down the hall and you arrive at the entrance of an emergency escape tunnel.... Buzzer, what are you d-doing... that fire will..."

Jack Chitin
"Yes I know, cause a devastating explosion. Back when I was younger, me and Luna used to set small crystals on fire, making them explode."

???
"I didn't know you were so careless, I mean...", the geezer tries to scold Jack

Jack Chitin
"Don't get me wrong, it was Luna's idea. She liked the destructive display.", he said with a sad sigh

???
"Huh... actually that would make sense... she's a bit crazy after all, just like my sons. Well, like one of them at least. He really was a bad influence on the other two, always getting them into trouble. Heh, now I see why he fell for her...", he said in a disappointed sigh

Jack suddenly drops the wooden spindle and freezes. Velvet turns around, her face going pale.

Velvet
"Wait... d-dead fiancé... b-brothers... you... y-you are... Gat's f-father..."

They were expecting a shocked reaction, but the geezer laughs.

???
"Don't tell me you know about that white devil?"


Possible actions
A - Jack: "Wait... what did you mean by "fell for her"...", he said in slight anger
B - Velvet: "Yes, w-we know a-about Gat..."
C - Don't waste time, light the fuse and get out, talk to the Yuni later

Jack clenches his teeth at the thoughts of Gat and what he could have done.

Jack Chitin
"We'll talk later, the fuse is lit, we need to get out of there!", he said with a groan

As Velvet picks up her books in a rush, she drops one by accident. The Yuni Elder helps her pick it up. Jack clenches his fist and turns towards the Yuni.

Jack Chitin
"What the hell... do you think you are doing?!"

???
“She obviously needs help with "scrubbing” her back.“

Jack's skin slowly starts to rip apart, blood gushing from it, slowly foaming form his mouth.

Jack Chitin
"So you want to have your way with her, huh?! I WILL MUTILATE YOU, GAT!"

As Jack yells, corrupted flesh bursts out of the Yuni's mouth, speaking in an incomprehensible language. The room fills with an eerie hum. Various bone like structures start to rip from Jack's back, his body rapidly deforming.


Possible actions
A - Jack attacks the Yuni Elder
B - Jack tries to resist

Velvet
"JACK! DON'T DO IT!"

In the heat of the moment, they forgot that the crystals are heated to the point of detonation. Only a few seconds separates them from a certain death.

Jack Chitin
"You will pay Gat! You will pay for everything you abomination!"

As Jack is about to lunge at the Yuni, Velvet runs towards him and embraces him for a hug. As Jack blinks, he notices that he's pointing his hunting knife at the Yuni and embracing Velvet with the other arm.

Velvet
"Please J-Jack... I l-love you..."

As the Lunar crystals explode, a vortex of corrupted blood envelops the trio.

[...]

Somewhere near the Tectum Mountains a blood portal opens. The crew pops out and fall into the soft and muddy marsh. The portal closes soon after. A few seconds pass and as the adrenaline wears off, Velvet speaks up.

Velvet
"Is e-everybody in o-one piece?"

Jack Chitin
"I h-hope so..."

???
"Oh my aching back..."

Jack stands up and cleans the mud off of himself. he inspects his body for the bone structures and corrupted flesh, but everything seems to be gone. Jack helps Velvet up and embraces her.

Jack Chitin
"I don't know... what happened to me back there, it seemed so real... I'm s-sorry, Velvet..."

Velvet
"It's alright, J-Jack... it's n-not your fault."

Jack Chitin
"Maybe not, but I don't want for you to get hurt because of me, because... of that. Velvet, we need to start training our abilities. Maybe... maybe that power is trying to take over since we aren't taking full control over it."


Possible actions
A - Ask the Yuni if he can swiftly climb the tallest tree and find some landmarks

The Yuni climbs the nearby tree and scans the nearby area for some landmarks. After a few moments, he climbs down and informs the crew.

???
"We were near the Feralia Forest, but now it seems that we are somewhere North-West of the Tectum Mountains. North of our location are some mountains, beyond that is the Inberian Desert if I recall correctly. To the West we have the province of Urno."

Jack Chitin
"Huh, I guess we safe for now. I think we should make camp here. I could really use some rest. Also, about just now... I, uhhh..."

???
"Don't worry about it.", he said in a serious tone

Velvet
"Are you g-guys sure t-that w-we will be s-safe here?"

Jack starts looking for some lush vegetation to make a small hut, he instructs Velvet to look for some firewood. The Yuni starts foraging for food.

Jack Chitin
"Yeah, these parts are the marshlands North of the Ihtid Swamps. I've ventured here a few times in my youth, these parts don't have any nasty predators or hostile natives. It's mostly inhabited by small rodents and creatures like that."

After an hour of work and preparations, the small shelter is finished, the fire is lit and the food is cooking. Finally, a moment of respite for the tired crew. As Jack takes care of the food, Velvet speaks up.

Velvet
"Are you f-feeling b-better, Jack?"

Jack Chitin
"Huh? Oh... yeah, I'm fine now. Thanks for asking, Velvet.", he said with a tired smile

As Velvet tries to continue, she gets interpreted by the Yuni.

???
"That flesh... so it's true. Only a few hours remain then..."

Both Velvet and Jack shift their gaze towards the old Yuni.

???
"The Pantocrator, the mother and father of all in this world... has decided to cast the dice once again. Young Buzzer, you and your shadowy friend seem to be blessed by the Creator. Use it wisely."

Jack chuckles.

Jack Chitin
"It's a mystery to us as well, but I think I figured out how we can chain the power under our control..."

Both Velvet and the Yuni gaze at Jack with an intrigued look.

Jack Chitin
"A few weeks back, when I was bored, I took some of your books and read some notes... well, the ones in the human language at least. It tells of a connection between the Deities and this... Pantocrator as you say. This connection and the Deities themselves can be damaged by something the book refers to as Fragments.", he said while thinking out loud

Velvet
"Fragments? In the Deity l-language it's translated t-to..."

Jack interjects.

Jack Chitin
"Exactly. Artefacts. Something a fellow kinsman helped me figure out."

A - Continue talking about the artefacts
B - Ask the Yuni about Gat
C - End the conversations for the day, proceed to eat and sleep

>>
Does Jack still have shadow powers? Maybe he or velvet could try summoning boom or slice for a family reunion or at least an update on gat
>>
>>526634
Jack didn't have enough time to fully develop shadow powers, so they regressed when things ended with Umbra
>>
>>526732
Shit, does that mean gat can't summon his brothers anymore? Or because of his mastery over it can he still possess the power like how Jack still has acid ability despite no longer being associated with xeri?
>>
>>526741
I've mentioned this once or twice, but basically, if you are under someone for years, the powers get cemented. Meaning that Gat has shadow powers and Jack has his bug powers since they spent a few years under the influence of it. Jack spent a very short time with Umbra, so they powers didn't cement that much

As Jack checks on the food, the hut suddenly lights up in a blue hue. The Yuni speaks up.

???
"Nothing to fear, just an old cat licking his wounds, haha.", he said with a raspy chuckle

The old Yuni summons a small Lunar crystal that secretes healing water on his wounds. A few moments later, all of his wounds disappear. Jack hands out the roasted squirrel meat to the crew. As they chow down, Gat's father speaks up.

Gatao
"I don't think we have been properly introduced. My name is Gatao, elder of the Ira tribe. From our previous conversations, I assume that the Buzzer is named Jack and the shadow lady, Velvet."

Jack and Velvet nod.

Gatao
"I hope my son hasn't caused you too much trouble.", he said in an apologetic tone

Jack lets out a sad sigh.

Jack Chitin
"It was... a complicated friendship. Gat is a very tricky character. I mean, as time passed I got to learn more about him, even now I learn about his past and his fiancé."

Velvet
"He joined the Shadow Dominion soon after his village was burned to the ground by the Solar Cult. He spend a good time with us, but... things got complicated, and he left. We don't know where he ran off to."

As Velvet takes a bite of the roasted meat, Gatao continues.

Gatao
"I tried to teach Gat about Lunar magic, for him to join the priesthood, but he didn't listen. He wanted to see the world, relying on his cunning rather than magic. He always had high ambitions after they attacked our village about 20 years ago. After that event... he ran away, and I've never seen him again.", the geezer said with a lump in his throat

Velvet
"Hey... I'm sure he misses you. You're his father after all.", she said in a warm tone, trying to cheer the Yuni up

Gatao
"I doubt it... he hated me for trying to cage his wild nature. He never respected peace and order, and with that, he never respected me. I... wanted for him to be a respectable member of the Ira tribe, but that suborn kitten never listened to anybody."

The elder finishes his meal, and throws the wooden stick into the camp fire.

Gatao
"Thank you for the meal, and once again thank you for helping me. I guess... there are still kind people in this word. If you don't mind, these old bones would like a cat nap.", he said with a raspy chuckle

As Gatao exits the small hut and walks to his own, Velvet pulls herself closer towards Jack. He in turn hugs her tight, resting near the fireplace. They both lie down on their back. Velvet hums a quiet lullaby as Jack pets her hair.

Jack lets out a long yawn.

Jack Chitin
"Well, I could really use some sleep right about no..."

Jack notices Velvet's fidgeting, like she wants to ask something, but is too embarrassed to do so. Jack lets out a quiet chuckle and speaks up.

Jack Chitin
"I know what you want to say, and of course, let's cuddle a bit."

Velvet
"I thought y-you'd never a-ask~", she said with a coy tone, smiling

Velvet sits up, and Jack throws himself into her lap, letting out a relived sigh. Velvet gently pets his head.

Jack Chitin
"I don't know how, but you are the softest pillow I've ever met.", he said in a comic tone

Velvet lets out a giggle. After a few moments of gentle caressing, Velvet speaks up.

Velvet
"J-Jack... what will h-happen to us? I mean...", she said in a serious tone

Jack Chitin
"Whatever happens, even if we both die, I want to die by your side.", he replied in a serious tone as well

Velvet blushes.

Velvet
"Thank you, J-Jack~ Even if t-there is no deity w-watching our b-back, as long as you are near me, I'm content~", she said in a warm tone

A long pause, Velvet waited for a response that never came.

Velvet
"Jack?"

Jack slowly sits up and turns towards Velvet with a shocked look on his face.

Jack Chitin
"Velvet... why don't we... start our own dominion?!", he asked in a enthusiastic tone

Velvet is caught off guard by the response, never thinking about the idea.

Velvet
"But... h-how will w-we manage that? We d-don't have an a-army, no base...", she said in a sad tone

Jack places his hands on her cheeks.

Jack Chitin
"Velvet, we have the heavy siege weapons! Something none of them have! We just need to figure our powers out, we will be unstoppable!"

Suddenly Velvet lets out a huge smile.

Velvet
"Yes... y-yes! How s-stupid of me... all this time I h-have been worrying about a-armies, b-bases, f-followers... but we have something that w-will speed t-that up ten fold!"

Jack puts up a smug face, proud of his idea.

Velvet
"J-Jack, you are a g-genius! I c-could..."

Velvet suddenly grabs Jack's head and kisses him. After a few moments, Velvet backs up, her face turning red like a tomato.

Velvet
"Oh s-sorry, I g-got a b-bit c-c-carried awa..."

Jack gently kisses her back. After a few moments of affection, Jack speaks up.

Velvet
"Never apologize for that...", he said with a warm smile

Velvet places her forehead on Jack's and they spend some time hugging, and enjoying the peaceful time with each other.

Jack Chitin
"Say, Velvet..."

Velvet
"Hmm?~"

Jack Chitin
"Can you... read me something from your book...", he said in an embarrassed tone

Velvet notices it and giggles.

Velvet
"No reason to be e-embarrassed Jack. Very f-few mortals know how to r-read Deity writing. Lucky f-for the Deities, they a-are born with the a-ability. However, the w-writing system is pretty c-complex, like nothing I've s-seen before. It took m-me years to finally f-figure it out. I guess it n-needs to be in a w-way, the complexity is an e-encryption system o-on it's own.", she explains in a confident and proud manner

Jack Chitin
"Years, huh? How long did it take you to draw that?", he said with a smug smile, pointing at the page

Velvet
"Huh?"

Velvet notices her silly drawings and lets out a nervous chuckle.

Velvet
"H-how did that get t-there, haha!"

Velvet clears her throat, trying to change the topic.

Velvet
"You told m-me that you've read s-something about the topic y-yourself? The h-human n-notes that you found, no?"

Jack Chitin
"Yes, the artefacts. It spoke of two things. One was a type of sacred gold, and the other refers to... I don't even know what these symbols mean, can you find a possible reference in your notes?"

After a few moments of looking through her notes, Velvet speaks up.

Velvet
"Ah, h-here it is. It talks of u-using the Creator's b-blood and m-mixing it with the sacred a-anchor of his c-children... w-what does that e-even mean...", she looks at the notes in a confused way

Jack Chitin
"Wait... that means... we can do that right now!", he exclaims

Velvet gives him a both puzzled and confused look.

Jack Chitin
"We have all the ingredients! We just need draw some blood!"

Velvet
"J-Jack, a-are you s-sure...", she said in a nervous tone

"Trust me, Velvet!", he said in an enthusiastic tone

Jack takes the hunting knife out of his inventory and places the blade on his arm.

Velvet
"Jack, wait! I don't k-know if this is you t-thinking straight, or i-is it one of t-those visions..."

Jack Chitin
"Oh... I'm sorry, I got a bit carried away, haha. In any case, I think I figured it out. Consider this, the blood of the Creator, I think that it flows through the veins of everyone that has the gift of purity, so we just need to draw some blood!"

Velvet
"But what a-about the other s-segment? The sacred a-anchor of his children... oh, I g-get it. The children t-the notes are referring to a-are the Deities. If that is true, t-then the anchor might b-be a symbolic meaning for the s-sacred gold the h-human notes mention. But J-Jack... we don't h-have that..."

Jack ruffles through his pocket and pulls out a prize.

Jack Chitin
"Ta-da!"

Velvet looks at him in confusion.

Velvet
"Golden e-earrings?"

Jack Chitin
"Not just any golden earrings! I snatched these off of Lua! While we were... uhhh... I mean, while she was charmed by my good looks, I took them while she wasn't looking, haha!"

Velvet
"This is g-great news! That means w-we have all the n-needed segments. But h-how do we proceed? The n-notes mention some r-ritual symbols and that the c-connection should be "searingly pure", whatever t-that means... but that's all I c-could find..."

Jack Chitin
"We can try the same thing when we summon our other abilities, we just need to interact with each other. Come on, let's try it at least."

Velvet nods and start drawing the symbols on the ground. Jack then places the two earrings on the symbols and cuts his and Velvet's arm with the hunting knife. After a few seconds, they spill some of their blood on the earrings. They stand near the ritual marking.

Velvet
"What now?"

Jack Chitin
"Let's add some magic~", he said in a comic tone

Velvet giggles as Jack slowly embraces her for a hug. After a few seconds, they look at the earrings, but nothing seems to happen.

Jack Chitin
"Hmmm...", he said while looking at the earrings

Velvet blushes a bit.

Velvet
"Maybe we need to add a more warmer magic~", she said in a coy tone

Jack lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. He grabs her hands and looks at the blushing shadow.

Jack Chitin

Jack kisses Velvet. They both think about each other and the love that warms their heart. Jack gazes upon the earrings.

Jack Chitin
"Agh, damn it!"

He starts pacing around.

Velvet
"Maybe, the connections n-needs to be pure, like t-the book says? But I don't know what that means..."

Jack Chitin
"What's more pure than love?!", he said in frustration, the sleep deprivation slowly catching up to him

Velvet quickly takes out her book and browses through the notes.

Velvet
"There has t-to be a clue... there j-just has t-to be...", she said with a lump in her throat

Jack Chitin
"Damn it! Why won't this work?! Surely the interpretation is right... I mean, an anchor?! Surely the author jests if he though about a literal anchor... what Deity has a fucking anchor?! I MEAN WHAT IN THE BLOODY...", he yells

Jack suddenly freezes and notices something that breaks his heart. A few steps away from him, Velvet sits on the nearby rock, grabbing her face, quietly crying. Jacky rushes towards her and grabs her shoulders.

Jack Chitin
"Hey... w-what's wrong?", he asks in a worried tone

Velvet
"Get away from me!", she yells at him, shifting her body to the side, not facing Jack

Jack grabs her shoulders again, trying to get her attention, but she starts resisting.

Jack Chitin
"Velvet, y-you're scaring me, what's wrong?!"

She tries pushing him away, however, Jack grabs her hand and tries to reason with her.

Jack Chitin
"STOP! Velvet... what's wrong... please tell me, I don't want to lose you, I made so many mistakes already...", he said with a lump in his throat, tears building up in his eyes

Velvet
"IT WON'T W-WORK BECAUSE OF M-ME! Because... you have a p-pure heart, you have p-pure intention... I killed my o-own sister... I did so many b-bad things in my l-life, I hurt so many p-people... I'm a monster! I'm u-ugly on t-the inside and o-on the outside...", she said while crying in a painful tone

Jack Chitin
"Velvet... look at me..."

Jack tries to touch her face, however she resists.

Jack Chitin
"Velvet... LOOK AT..."

Velvet
"DON'T DO IT, JACK!", she screams

Jack Chitin
"LOOK AT ME!"

Jack yells as he brushes her hair to the side, revealing her pitch dark shadow eyes.

Jack Chitin
"Velvet... I... if it doesn't work, it's because of me... I hurt so many people, I pushed away my own friends, I broke my promises... I am a monster, both on the inside and out. Velvet... I am done making mistakes, I am done searching... you are my light in the darkness... my sweet, sweet Velvet..."

Jack places his hand on her cheek and wipes away the tears with his thumb, while letting his own flow. He gently kisses the timid shadow as she wraps her arms around his neck. During this time, a red mist erupts from the ritual space, engulfing the scene. The Pantocrator's symbol appears on their foreheads.

Suddenly strange and outworldish noises start to radiate within the scene. Sounds of laughter, painful crying, various instruments can be heard playing a tune, however it is all out of sync, none of the tunes form a coherent melody, rather a rhapsody of chaos and madness. Slowly a low reverberating hum starts to echo through the scene.

Both Velvet and Jack start groaning in pain as they vomit blood. They look at each other, then both start to laugh in a maniacal and demented way. Jack starts gouging his demon eyes out as he screams in excruciating pain.

Jack Chitin
"I AM TAINTED! WE NEED TO PURIFY OURSELVES FROM OUR SINS, AND WALK THIS EARTH PURE FROM THE SHACKLES OF THE PAST!"

Jack takes the hunting knife and starts chipping the demon teeth. He gores the tendril, ripping it out along with his own guts. In the meantime, Velvet takes one of her throwing diamonds and start ripping the hair that was covering her eyes, then proceeds to stab herself in the chest numerous times. Corrupted flesh starts to emerge from the stab wounds.

Velvet
"YES, OH YES, PURGE THE IMPURITY, PURGE THE STONES ON OUR SHOULDER, SO THAT WE CAN WALK THE EARTH, SHINING BRIGHT LIKE THE STARS IN THE NIGHT SKY!"

Jack's demon flesh rots away, his skull cracks and his body starts to deform. Various bone structures erupt from his skull as corrupted flesh rips out of his torso.

Jack reaches out towards Velvet and start to laugh.

Jack Chitin
"OH SWEETHEART, LET'S WALK THIS EARTH TOGETHER!"

Velvet
"YES MY LOVE, EMBRACE ME!"


As they look into each other's eyes, they slowly kiss.


And with that...


...everything goes dark.

>these "scarier" scenes are great, especially the gif ones.
Yeah, I think they are neat. I mean it's mostly "body horror", but I think it looks pretty rad.

If you are eager for some hints for tomorrow, look below!

Light spoilers for tomorrow

>If that was 2 votes love 1 vote lust, I don't want to know what full lust might have been like
The votes will indicate what kind of new weapons and abilities they get tomorrow in the opening scene of the session! They both will finally let go of the past and emerge anew!
>>
Taking a break today to do some stuff regarding the quest. Hopefully I'll figure it out by tomorrow, I won't make any promises, but I'm pretty sure we will continue on the 4th.

A bit spoiler-ish, if you are interested on what it's about:
Jack and Velvet will each have a new design/look, new abilities, weapons etc, so need a bit more time to work on it.

Work and stuff is killing me. Some days I sadly don't have much free time due to the nature of my job, but I try to find a break from it every now and then.


I try my best to balance my free time, but sometimes work gets in the way. I'm aware that the longer the hiatus are, that people might start to lose interest, but sadly these work heavy days don't provide enough free time to properly run the quest. Once again to all the people that like and follow the quest, I know that it sucks to wait but thank you for your patience!

Tomorrow things will slowly normalize. Seeing that the thread will 404 soon, tomorrow I'll post the next session time here:
