I've had much rougher days. we've gone 2 minutes without a silverfish infestation.
>>44378852
Quin! You ate my alchemy bag!

>>44378874
Hmm...

It depends on who from what guilds actually show up.

But yes, that would probably be the most sensible option.

THHHHHHAT'S RIGHT, BROTHER! THE FIGHTERS ARE HERE FROM SOME WICKED WIZARDMAS!

>>44378905
>>44378900
Erm. The other guilds are eating with the redshirts, right?

>>44378874
Hey, one of these is a worm that tastes like apples! I think it was supposed to be some kind of man eating swarm creature.
>>44378874
Well maybe next time you won't leave it on the table, I thought those leaves were for everyone.
>>44378905
Good to see you could make it! Rumours has it some of planar mages are going to open a portal to a plane of bacon later.

>>44378934
Probably not.

We're most likely doomed.

>>44378905
Do you have any idea how long it will take to fix that wall?

The Geomancers won't be here for, like 5, minutes! It'll get drafty!

>>44378951
Oh come on, we don't even have a dedicated doormancy department!

>>44378940
I was adjusting my crown! Like 90% of that is toxic!
>>44378951
Oh, here's a good appetizer for me.
>Emilia grabs it and tries to eat it
>>44378959
Time to call the Dwarves' Union.

Okay, so, the piano is being set up for use, right?
>>44378934
And geez, running off at the first sign of food? Is that why you ran off last time?
>He takes a seat right next to you

>>44378983
well maybe I heard a deal too good to refuse. You don't to go into the 4th dimension everyday.

>>44378934
Ain't no shirts here, sisterrr!

>>44378940
QUIN! WHAT'S GOIN' DOWN BUNNYCAT!

IF THOSE MAGES WON'T, THEN THIS WRASSLER WILL!

>>44379003
I bet I could if I wanted.
>He smirks and leans over, kissing your forehead
And if you're still concerned, I will be giving you the other gifts I promised.
>>44379015
Yo, wassup?
>>44379016
Trostia! You going to jumpstart the gift giving?
Also, you look wiser.

>>44379015
I...

What.

I don't....

You know what? No. I'm not dealing with this.

>>44379016
Hello! Did you bring something to get me knockout drunk?

>>44378934
Not exclusively.
>>44378959
Don't worry if it gets cold then I'm sure the pyromancers can do something about it. Most of them are already here.
>>44378969
>shrugs
Seemed fine to me, I can eat pretty much everything in this form.
>>44379015
Oh you know, causing trouble and getting away with it. Here, have a seat at the main table!
>>44379016
Hey, Trostia, good to see you could make it!

>>44379028
Horrible mind eating magic disease. But let's think joyful thoughts! Its wizardmas >>44379033
Someone has to.
>>44379035
I could just knock you out and blame alcohol. >>44379042
Greetings cat friend. I dont seem to recall you.

>>44379015
>Emilia has taken one point of physic damage
I...what?
>>44379033
And I would've gotten a cosmic wish...blast that 'Destructor'

>>44379062
You don't remember me? I'm wounded. Didn't we fight in the Valmian War together? And didn't I help you set up your department back in the day?
>>44379066
Yup, that's me.
>eats an empty bowl as if to prove Emilia's point
>>44379073
Which is why it has to be done!

>>44378754
Holiday coffee anyone?

>>44379098
Thank you, Mort.

>>44379097
Quin, please. Not everything needs to be an experiment in chaos and destruction.

>>44379062
Wonderful! Hm, well then. I had gotten you a book detailing secret alloy creation techniques from another world, but you look like you already know them.
>>44379066
Cosmic wish? Well, sadly Lurco isn't here. But... first gift.
>He reaches down and pulls a cake from a portal that was on a wall or on the floor
>He places it in front of you
>It says "Welcome Back" & "Love You" on it
Feel free to share it with friends.
>>44379098
Two cups over here if you will!

>>44379111
>>44379112
Here you go
>Passes them mugs,

>>44379097
I dont know a lot of things going on here. I've been away for quite a while. Longer than I was supposed to.

>>44379128
Thank you.

I'll need this before the meeting is over.

>>44379132
Did you hear about my department conquering a country?

>>44379098
Does it still melt people?
>>44379112
Yes, I think it would've been bigger than Lu-
>looks at cake
>>44379132
Do you want a slice? I think you need it.

>>44378900
>hides behind veilhex
>>44378891
Silverfish?
>>44378905
AAH!
>>44378940
..Gross..

>>44379098
I'll have a cup!
>>44379111
Of course it does, how do you think I ended up as the cute little critter I am today?
>>44379132
No kidding, we had at least one major war and two departments collapsing while you were gone. Probably.
>extends a paw
But to refresh your memory, Quin Bradley, Head of the Magical Girls Department.
>>44379149
You know what's gross? Wasting good food.

>>44379112
My known of ferromancy has... Declined.
>>44379142
I dont even know who you are.
>>44379145
Cake would be nice.

>>44379145
That only happened because some one sabotaged my coffee
>>44379167
Of course Quin
>Gives the catbunny a saucer

>>44379149
Don't worry. I'm sure nobody will kill you.

>>44379167
Well I don't want to end up as a cat... thing.

>>44379171
Veilhex Doomblight, a teacher of necromancy. My most notable achievement is covering for Lazarus while he was dead.

>>44379033
I don't recognize you, brother, but somethin' about you seems awfully familiar...

>>44379042
Right on Quin! You gonna get back in the ring at some point, sister?
>Pulls out his chair

>>44379066
Dwarves are more isolated than a sunken deckball. Don't come out of the Hollow unless its to settle a grudge. And let me tell you somethin' sister, those beardy bastards can tussle somethin' fierce!

>>44379062
That's a hard lot sister. Dramorn and Rage Mage comin'? Those fellas know how to brawl!

>>44379167
Ever heard of Kixictuuhlopt

>>44379128
Thank you Mortimer.
>>44379171
Oh, I'm sorry. It must have been rough.
>He pulls out a book from under the table
Well, here's my gift to you, nonetheless.
>He gets up and walks it over to you
>>44379145
Also, have the coffee. It's delicious.

>>44379149
Yeah, it's chaos. But sometimes you jut have to make your way through it and hope you don't get caught up.

...At least, that's how it worked for me. Holding up okay?

>>44379198
Might be. Hm, did you know a Kuo-Toa?

>>44379171
Then cut a slice, there is literally no one in this room more qualified than you able to cut a cake.
>>44379177
Sabotaged coffee should not melt people, that margin of error is pretty damn slim! >>44379142
I think even my country had more defense than that one!
>>44379198
But our contracted union...whatever. bring in the Koblolds.
>>44379167
Major war?
>>44379215
Hey Diana!

>>44379195
Youre a glorified substitute teacher?

This looks like a good time to try out these skyberries...
>Emilia walks off

>>44379260
No. I'm the one teacher in the department who students consider worth taking the classes of.

I took over the entire department from Lazarus.

>>44379177
Thank you Mortimer!
>>44379195
Your loss, this has worked out great for me.
>>44379198
I'll get back in the ring the moment I find someone in my weight class. Sadly it's been pretty hard to do so these days. I mean, just try lifting me, I weigh next to nothing.
>>44379206
Doesn't ring a bell, but I don't have the best of memories so.
>shrugs
>>44379215
Diana, you made it! Here, have a set at the main table.
>>44379246
I was mostly generalizing, but the necromancers did go to war a few weeks ago. Oh, right, you just got back, hadn't heard of the Necromancy Department's invasion of the Empire of Tenebrus yet?

>>44379246
>instead of some fancy ferromancy technique, she just grabs the knife and cuts about 1/4 the cake into one slice
Nice.. My favorite

>>44379246
I'd bet it did.

Thralls do not make very good footsoldiers without the advantage of numbers.

>>44379283
Well I don't work primarily with magical girls.

>>44379267
I'll give you the rest of your gifts later!
>>44379286
>He purses his lips and looks concerned

>>44379167
T-That isn't good!
>>44379195
>hiding intensifies
>>44379215
....Euggh..

>>44379283
An entire reality fabricated by an... Entity? Demon? Something or other. A powerful being, fragmented from the God Kultuhu. You seem to be someone in charge, so I need to talk to you later about it. In private.

>>44379246
>>44379283
Hello.

>>44379326
That bad, huh? Here, take some deep breaths, just try to calm yourself down, okay?

>>44379325
You want some cake?

>>44379326
...
>Glances around
>Pats her on the head
Don't worry, nobody will kill you.

>>44379353
No, I'm fine. Is it good?

Oh, that could easily be fixed.
>>44379326
Have you tried it? This lizard-thing tastes like strawberries.
>>44379339
Sure, my office is open. Or, at least it will be once this feast is over.
>>44379352
So, the feast has just begun, but what do you think?

>>44379364
>nods, mouthful of cake
Mmohfmm

>>44379400
Glad to hear it.
Hm, oh, you probably don't remember me either, do you?

>>44379392
Quin, don't plan things like that. You don't want to give the people I work with access to magical girl powers.

>>44379392
I have some matters to attend to after this, but I will be by soon enough.

>>44379422
A little. Didnt you used to be a fish? That's all I remember.

>>44379392
>"Ah, there's that seemingly-important outsider. She should know where I should sit."
>Lurco walks over
Hey, uh, Quin was it? Um, do you know where I should sit?

>>44379435
Spoilsport. So, what are you up to these days, business as usual or have Lazarus made you guys high dukes of his new empire or something?
>>44379436
Got it, I'll keep an eye open for you then.

>>44379452
I was a Kuo-Toa, which isn't too far off.
The name's Gluglobul. I'm the head of a newer department called Oozemancy.

>>44379477
I think you still have a seat somewhere at the main table. Should be a nameplate somewhere, just look around near the top of the table. Or just take Heram's seat over there, I heard he couldn't make it.

>>44379478
link to collab collab?

>>44379478
Business as usual.

Lazarus handed the empire over to his wife, actually. He certainly wasn't going to run the thing.

>>44379521
Huh?
>He looks at the table and points to it
This table?
>He says looking back to you

>>44379523
Enjoy: http://collabedit.com/6fvae
>>44379531
That's quite the present, most people stick to giving their wives jewellery.

>>44379549
Lazarus is not most people..

>>44379548
>the nametags are rebelling!
>nods
This table, the big one with all the old and/or important people.

>>44379548
>4chan is so much harder to post on...
>TABS ARE USELESS!

>>44379578
Ah! Old people too... That makes much more sense.
So, I even get a little nameplate?

>>44379577
>nods
Of course not, he is the top grump after all.
>looks around
I'm surprised he hasn't come yet though, never seen him miss the feast.
>>44379601
All the first age wizards have nameplates, as do the department heads, no matter how young.
>points to the fancy metal nameplate stuck to the table in front of her
>"QUIN BRADLEY, CUTEST DEPARTMENT HEAD"
Turns out I can have whatever I want written on it, your's should be saying Lurco.

He's probably still out in Tenebrus.

He'll show up when he wants to.

>>44379640
Well, haven't seen you in a while.

>>44379638
Ah, cool. Wish they told me so I could change it. Would have put something like Doctor Doom or something.

Now why are you blushing?

>>44379678
Im always watching. Ive been going through some things lately though.
>>44379700
Depends on your point of view and which version of Krampus it was. Arguably Good, Arguably Bad.

*Emerges through warp anomoly*
To whatever lifeforms inhabit this current timeline, a very happy holidays to all squishy, puny meatbags.

Now, tell me where I can find 400 tons of Iridium ore or I shall annihilate this world and all its inhabitants. Except the Kittens, they come with me.

>>44379714
It's Pierre, he's Irritating Neutral.

>>44379714
Bit of both then? Goodie! I do say, I'm getting the hang of this! By which I mean which bits I should care about and act upon. Gotta keep that neutral alignment going strong, y'know?

>>44379237
Brother I know like five.

Wait...Glug?! Brother, you look like you could really hold your own in the ring now!

>>44379246
Ya'll's union is the KLU, right? Yeah them lizardy dudes...

>>44379283
>Nudges you with a elbow
Aw hells Q, don't play me for no fool now. The Auger King may have got some solid dings to the ole brain box but I know the Ole pale terror could take a man twice, aw shit, FIVE times 'er size!
>Winks
Good to see ya'll. I was in bit of humph when I had to go 'cause my powers aren't technically magic, more like musclin' the elemental planes to do what I need 'em to...but hey the Fighters treat me right and boy let me tell ya! There's a rowdy bunch right there!

>>44379724
Wicked. Um, I got some, but, well, you sorta have to buy it.
Also, please don't destroy the world. It's Chris- I mean, Wizardmas.

>>44379743
I got you a present, Adam. I see that you haven't opened it. In fact, it has an amount of dust consistent with actively avoiding a three foot radius around it, Adam. You wouldn't distrust a gift from little old me, would you Adam? The last gift was great, wasn't it Adam?

>>44379744
Not so much Neutral as Bad or Good depending on point of view, But it doesn't matter.
>>44379743
Hes not that bad.

>>44379746
Hey, I could hold my own in the ring before. Just that I can do much better now.

>>44379776
Ohhhhhh, I got pretty bad for a while there. Turned Adam into a skeleton to help him get over his fear.

>>44379714
Really now?

>>44379724
You'd have to ask the geomancers. They could probably make some for you.

>>44379671
Fine, stick to your normal food then. More for me!
>>44379678
Well, no one seems like they dares take his seat at least. So did you guys get anything after the invasion?
>>44379686
Nah, we are cool. Your Dengen Senshi are mostly on the other continents while magical girls dominate this one. We even worked together on a project once, with hilarious results.
>>44379714
Was it catnip? Because someone has been into my supply of catnip.
>>44379724
Five hundred leagues west and a turn back in time to last Monday.
>>44379746
Heh, couldn't fool you could I? If you want we could have a match sometime later, I got a few new tricks I've been wanting to try.

>>44379763
Paying? On a holiday. This triggers my Depression program.

Does this timeline accept Pan-galactic credits as valid currency?

>>44379805
>>44379797
Geomancers? Does not compute with any known professions.

Wait, what year is this?

>>44379830
Are you starting trouble?

>>44379797
Yes. No fun things either.
>>44379805
No.
>>44379789
Did it work?

>>44379640
Been a while. You want some coffee?

>>44379830
Eh, it's a mess, everyone is using a different calender around here. But I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that it's the 5th age, does that help?
>>44379853
Well, that's one possible culprit off the list at least.

>>44379853
He sat in the healer's ward pouting and not speaking because of the incessant clickety clacking whenever he moved. But he did have a skeleton butler following him around for a bit, so I guess it motivated him.

>>44379805
We got plenty of corpses, if that's what you're asking.

But other than that most people were just happy to have the chance to get out of the guild and slaughter people.

>>44379853
That's terrible. You're having fun now though, right?

Ah thanks goodness for all the snacks I assume you have brought!
I'm hosting a family of roaches over Christmas and require all I can grab!

>>44379870
Pass. Been having trouble sleeping as is.
>>44379882
Sounds like a success to me.
>>44379894
Not quite but its better than otherwise

>>44379775
Ten feet, I just have a long broom. And in answer to your questions, yes I don't trust your presents and yes, but the presentation needs work.
>>44379776
Which is just another way of saying that he's bad but a necessary evil.
>>44379789
Oh please, that was not the reason. You did it to use me as a guinea pig and so you could say I was being ungrateful for not accepting a free Halloween costume that I didn't want or ask for.

>>44379844
Reviewing my current programming on the understanding of meatbag laws and customs, it does not seem that I am.
>>44379873
5th age? Curious, it seems I went back farther than I anticipated. I come from the 38th age. My database for this time period brings up very little information.

>>44379908
Ok

I see there is still food left on the table, amazing.

>>44379908
What? Trouble sleeping? I say, you seem to be moping, morose even! Dare I say, melancholy? I'd offer my stash but I highly doubt that would help. How about fun, people like fun. What sounds fun?

>>44379908
Well, as long as you're better.

>>44379927
Lazarus, you finally made it!

>>44379911
You guys don't know what Geomancy is in the 38th age?

Did you rename it or something?

>>44379873
Force untold have told me you would appreciate this.

>>44379709
N-Nothing in particular sir..
>>44379805
..Ew..

>>44379910
Well you better open it quick, it's going to start stinking in a few days, there was only enough of a chill spell to last until today. And please, it's never just one reason with me. Does helping in the most infuriating way possible not sound like me?

>>44379939
Yeah, Trouble sleeping. And I didn't even feel like bothering with the dumb outfit.
Why are you getting so verbose? Im not really in the mood for fun. I want food.

>>44379970
I do it when I'm in a good mood. Usually when I've goaded someone into trying to kill me. Which quite honestly, is hilarious. I'm as immortal as a cat in a box! And foooooood, let's see. Ham? Chicken? Turkey? Duck? Fish? Porcine turduckopiscii?

>>44379945
Magic has been outlawed in my time since the 18th age. Upon the use of my analyisis program, this "Geomancy" seem to be related to such heresies, and thus all knowledge of it has been eradicated by the Alchemists guild. If this be the time before the eradication of magicks as you say so, than I may in fact be quite "screwed" as you meatbags would say.

>>44379952
Please, kids don't just blush over nothing.

Did you ever get confirmation you've got magic?

>>44379982
It's called a celebration.

>>44379996
Everyone came out of it fairly happy, yes.

>>44380009
Who would outlaw magic, and how the hell would they enforce that?

>>44379996
Quin! I've been on the drugs again! Catch!
>It's a drug-tainted ball of source. It MENACES with hallucinogenic arcanum

>>44379960
No, just the infuriating part sounds like you. And I'm just waiting for my spells to refresh so I can cast mage hand to open it.
>>44380009
>Points at the mechanical thing.
And before anyone asks, that's temporal, not spatial, aka "not my job."

>>44379945
Of course I did, it's the event of the year after all. You would have to kill me to keep me away.
>smirks
People have tried in the past.
>>44379982
The Wizardmass feast of course.
>>44379996
>nods
Bunnyrat.

I brought divination chili, and Fountain of Youth Ice tea! Who wants some?

T-this is a holiday party, right?

>>44380025
Is this celebration a merry activity of being alive one more day in this mad house?
>>44380037
And no one invited me?

>>44379996
>red velvet lining hold three orbs, each the size of an apple. One is black, one is white, and one is clear. The clear one is in case in a glass cube.

I have chronomancy powers..though..it's quite unstable. I sent a quarter of the dorms into a time freeze..Mr. Futurus got mad.

>>44380050
Yes it is, come on in. I'll pass on the tea, but send the chili this way.

>>44380036
Recharge? Really? Preparation based casting is a hassle, I thought that was only a thing people did when they had to. And it's eggnog you ninny, finest bourbon only, accept no substitutes.
>>44380037
Lazarus! Now, I know you've recently come into an empire and a wife...HAH! And every empire needs a spymaster! But, no normal spymaster will do, so I've had the skull of Roger Muirebe sent to your castle!
>>44380065
Well, I've got some that's been cooked blue, the head maid probably has some raw. Blue's mostly raw though.

>>44380009
So, what are your options then? Are you forced to stay and hide or face severe punishment?
>>44380025
Except for the vampires who held the country I'm guessing.
>>44380029
>catches it
This is the most irresponsible gift anyone has ever given me. Thank you! I hid yours in the archive, I figured you might appreciate a treasure hunt.
>>44380036
I wasn't going to say anything about it, I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference between planes and chronomancy... most of the time.
>>44380059
Oh sweet Criticus, you didn't! This is the best Wizardmass ever!
>>44380087
EAT IT!
>>44380065
I was wondering why there were fewer of them around.

>>44380025
My god was built in the 17th age called Dorn who'd come to eclipse all others. He would become the god of constructs such as myself, and as meatbags would say he is the embodiment of "No fun allowed". I am his disciple, but given I was built after the magical disappearance I'm not programmed to kill Witches and Warlocks on sight. I'm sure you appreciate this currently.
>>44380084
Dorn killed most of the meatbags, hooked up the survivors to some disruption engines which fried their brains upon magical contact. Quite nasty stuff. My kind was built to hunt meatbag magicians, but we mostly travel the timewaves now, our Magetrak.Exe programs deactivated since the 20th age.

>>44380126
Who built this Dorn?

>>44380052
Nope, Wizardmas.

>>44380050
It is.

You will be judged harshly on your ability to make tasty snacks.

>>44380087
Well, you have magic then. Control is something we can help with.

>>44380122
But they're vampires. We picked the country because nobody would complain about us slaughtering them

>>44380126
I...

Don't some of us know actual gods? I doubt one god could beat all of them at once.

>>44380100
Close enough. Though I may just go hunting. Been too long since I did that, Always helped clear my head.

>>44380122
Hmmm. Proooooobably less irresponsible than the black source in that box.

>>44380126
Appreciation, you are nothing more than a thing. Something with a fake will. And no determination. You have no ability to even touch one who truly knows his discipline.
>>44380151
wizardmas? wizard mass? Have we finally become a cult?

>>44380162

>>44380052
Are you part of the guild? Because if so, you were invited.

>>44380151

I'll have to get back to you about that one.

>Wakes up from his seat

>>44378754
AHHHH
WIZARDMAS, THE PERFECT TIME TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

>>44380151
I dont know if you would care for it, but forces untold told me you would appreciate this.
>hands you a small black box

>>44380122
Given I cannot finish my objective, going back would mean I would be deactivated for parts. It seems I am stuck here, celebrating Wizardmass with heretical meatbags. I'll make myself useful if it pleases you.
>>44380139
>>44380151
Database doesn't say, most likely a member of the Alchemists. One who was extremely, as you meatbags say, "butthurt" over something the mages did to him.
>>44380169
By my calculations, had I been equipped to hunt Magick heretics upon my arrival, I would have a 93% effectiveness rating upon taking you by surprise. The tech of my time is quite something.

>>44380151

We put Lazarus's wife on the throne. Entirely different.

>>44380192
I'll be surprised if you ever manage to think of something.

>>44380212
This can't end well.

>>44380245
Indeed. Highly purified Iridium ore. Why do you ask?

>>44380192
I can with insurance, my inbox has been nothing but dust and cobwebs for 60 days I have not even seen my apprentice.
>>44380222
You are nothing but script. I hold in my palm a magic that is represented by prospects and eternity itself. A power so vast and so deep, it is incomprehensible to your mind. You wouldn't have 1% meager percent. Even you fear your end, and that fear gives me magic power.

>>44380100
It's not fully prepared casting, what do I look like, a Vancian? But I factor in different things when I prepare for the day, and I didn't figure out conditions for mage hand. As for the gift, thanks for the thought, I'll still be opening it from a distance.

Enslaved as manual labor to the High Over fiend. That or conscripted as shock troops against the Vonglar Empire.

Quite a lucky group of meatbags if I do say so myself. They aren't even memory wiped.

>>44380269
Script is a bit of a simplification. I run off of Tri-Quantum Mechanical engines, thrice as complex as a human brain. It's needed to comprehend all the data contained in pan-time space.

Again though, I would highly advise against engaging a Mechanoid Magehunter if thou should ever encounter one.

My knowledge of magical abilities does not have this on record. Fascinating.

Can't say for certain. By the 18th age, the sea levels had risen quite considerably. Possibly around the town you know as "Elms Hollow".

>>44381041
I'm not sure, but I have assumed that to be the case.

>nods
Welcome to the high table.
>>44381099
I don't know, I think the outcome wasn't that bad. For the contestants at least.

>>44381100
well, certain sects of fiction books would have you believe they love to consume.
>>44381099
Hey Vex, I have a sort of gift for you.
>>44381117
But I make my return. I'd get you a gift, but that scry screen was half my countries GDP.

>>44381139
Not everyone was a contestant.

>>44381132
Well then sure, you can join us.

>>44381144
I'm not Vex.

>>44381144
...You should see the kitchen budget. Apparently I've been growing.
>>44381139
Well, it's aptly named. I heard you came into an empire recently, how is it?

>>44381058
I'm a Mechanoid Mark V, First Class. From my understanding of them, Golems are a much more primitive construct.
>>44381064
Fascinating, so much to learn about this timeline. Would you like some cooked goose? It's been cooked to perfection according to my culinary programming.

>>44381077
>stops laughing for a bit and smiles instead
Oh don't worry about it. Just open your wizardmas present.

>>44381139
Bit busy, some nonsense about a certain holy champion with a banishing ward, say who bothered resurecting you?

>The large door to the dining hall opens, and in wanders a lanky, short man

Uh, is this the Mage's Guild? The orb outside the gates was projecting some sort of message about a feast, but I think it fizzled out when I touched it.

If this is the right place, I was sent here by the... hang on a minute, I had this written down...

Ah yes, here we go...

"I, Ichabod Barnswillow, am an envoy sent by the Adventurer's Guild to be their representative in this gathering/social event. I come bearing gifts and good tidings."

I... uhh... I don't actually have any of the gifts anymore. Some of them fell down a ravine when I was crossing it and the rest I was forced to give up to the gargoyles outside. Man, do those things like shoe polish.

>>44381099
Yes, still have that start you bet

>>44381156
Ahaha, I'm sorry, I think my mind cycled on itself. I combined your first name.
>>44381164
Standard....I've seen some real advanced Golems, namely ones with souls implanted. I've heard rumors of a...never mind. Lurco wouldn't want me talking about it.
>>44381161
I choose not to comment for my own good.
>>44381182
You've put yourself in a...pit.
>ha

>>44381144
Hm, true.
Oh, and what the heck was that the other day!? You said you would help me but the minute I get dragged off by someone clearly pissed off you abandon me!

>>44381164
Sure, I've mostly eaten exotic dishes this year, might as well take something normal.
>>44381182
Don't worry about it, just take a seat and enjoy the feast!

>>44381206
It's alright.

>>44381200
You can prove nothing.

>>44381168

>OPEN GIFT

>>44381200
Staff, Damn being banished sure does muddle ones speech

I-I can?
Um..who else is coming?

>>44381080
>Stands up abruptly, and sprouts a pair of butterfly wings from his cloak, a new resolve on his face
Ofcourse, only I could complete this task! There are so many bugs out there waiting for their wizardmas feast!
I need these!

You seem to have contracted a blood-borne disease. My database says it's a form of the "Werebeast" strain.

You might want to take antibiotics for that. You do have antibiotics in this timeline right?

I need one of you to call up Satan so his blood may taste my sword.

-unsheathes katana-

Let's not make this get ugly

>>44381245
Me, my niece, and probably her bard friend, if she invited him.

>>44381212
Thanks. What do you wizardy types usually eat, anyway?

I met this witch once who couldn't resist eating hair. Spent the night in her shack and woke up bald. A harrowing experience, to be sure.

>>44381248
Whoa there, what's with all the blinking lights? And what's all this about me being diseased?

I'll have you know that Barnswillow men are paragons of virtue, both in the sack and outside of it.

>>44381156
Fortunately not, else it would have been a pretty boring event.
>>44381161
Fortunately it's not my empire, but it's kept the family happy. Tabitha does love being an Empress.
>>44381181
Depends on how long it was since we met. After that unfortunate, recent, incident with my first apprentice it was half the department. Apparently they wanted me to stop an experiment I had left running. But most recently I could count on Veilhex to provide me with a swift return from the Realm of the Dead. Turns out having to run the department is a great motivator to find someone else who can take the job.
>>44381272
Sorry but this festivity is a summoning free zone, we learned ages ago that summoning devils and demons tend to ruin the mood.

>>44381272
One moment, finding him in the index is a pain,

HELLO, yes its me , no I'm fine thanks for asking, yes. There's a idiot with s stick who wants to fight you, his names axel pain....no I'm being serious, k bye

He says meet him at trabadars crypt in 5 minutes

>>44381211
I said I'll think about, never agreed to anything.
>>44381218
...so how about that gift?
>>44381224
If its on the table, I probably ate it.
>>44381272
Sorry, I'm not summoning right now. Try Lupa.
>>44381306
Lazarus, I have something for you too.

>>44381273
Um..well, ok. I guess..i'll come.
>gives a very nervous smile

>>44381306
This is what I don't understand about you , sizable power wasted on bureaucracy, you should go independent

>>44381224
>inside is a worn looking book titled "Gripa's Collected Stories of Witchcraft"
I figured since you were coming along so well in your studies you might want something interesting to read. Don't worry, it written in easy to read script.

You have a bite on your lower abdomen. There's a full moon out tonight, so you'll transform in about 3 hours, approximately.

Looks like a rat bit you. Did you crawl through any sewers recently?

>>44381314
>He makes an annoyed groan
Fine. So, Emilia, right?

>>44381314
Sure, I'll take a gift.

>>44381306
What does that mean?

>>44381328
There's nothing to be nervous about, don't worry.

>>44381348
>Excitement intensifies
Oh, thank you!
>>44381314
They were still live so I doubt it.
>>44381306
Oh right, Tabitha. Didn't I help her into her dress? She seemed nice.

>>44381367
A-Alright..um..
..Thank you, Veilhex i'll come just uh, give me a time and place.

>>44381367
well you can have it with the next shipment of Lazarus...disposable tools. It's the corpse of some...dinosaur bird mix.
>>44381361
>Emilia looks at him giving him a smug grin
Yeah, sugar tits.
>>44381388
I only ate a few living things.

>>44381349

Tell him that time I'm zurr'tanashihrum was not my fault

>>44381314
Very well, do you have it here or is it something for later?
>>44381333
I tried that after they brought me back to deal with that experiment. But then the current department head went into hiding and I had to either take up the reins or see it all fall into chaos and anarchy. And I prefer order to chaos, it's easier to work with.
>>44381349
Good luck.
>>44381367
Do you have any idea how many fresh corpses we got after that event? It might have ended in a mess, but between the entry fee and the corpses it was a great boon to the department.
>>44381388
It's possible, unless you are confusing her for Tabitha Merric. I realise there might be some confusion in days to come with there being two Empress Tabitha in the world.

>>44381356
Why, now that you mention it, I did have to take a detour through the sewers due to some unfortunate misunderstandings that inspired the local populace to form a lynch m-

Wait, what exactly did you mean when you said I will "transform"?

>>44381402
>He goes to say something but he stops for a bit
. . .Yeah, I got nothing to retort with that.
Okay, so, you're a Primordial, right? Or at least the daughter of one, yeah?

>>44381402
...smelly toad dragons?
>>44381432
No no, the vampire one.

>>44381437
Your form will contort into a vicious Werebeast, in this case a Wererat. You will seek to spread the infection to others via biting or scratching until you wake up naked, unable to remember what just happened the next morning.

Well, if you're lucky anyway. Or you could be smiten by the local Paladins.

>>44381390
We don't really plan things, we mostly just have things like that when we're both free. I'll come pick you up when we find the time for it.

>>44381402
Ah.

>>44381432
And then the cleanup took forever.

>>44381432
Fair enough I suppose, but between you and me. Are you still running that archfiend program off the books? Or did that have to be scrapped, I remember the hierarchy weren't very happy about it. And neither was the church for that matter. I considered buying it off you but a certain banker got in the way

>>44381438
No half, I'm the real deal. Tell me, how modern are you?
>>44381432
I have it, a little macabric though.
>>44381463
It's all equally edible, I wasn't really paying attention.
>>44381465
Hey, some people are trying to eat here.

>>44381472
Yeah...
>awkward

>>44381472
>nods
Ok, I understand.
Uh...thank you, again.

>>44381300
Huh, I think I know her actually. I need to make note not to visit her again. And don't worry, most of us eat normal food.
>bites down on the head of some kind of wood textured canine
Blergh, ok, this one is no good.
>takes a weird scaled orb instead
Mmmm.... chewy.
>>44381388
>smiles
You're welcome, merry wizardmas.

>>44381492
Speaking of, the desert is ready. Anyone like Key Lime Pie?

>>44381492
Um... Me, my master, and my two fellow apprentices were the only ones on my world that can use magic. Don't know if that helps you or not.

>>44381492
...I'll just catch more in the next swamp we pass.
>>44381511
And to you too Quin.

>>44381508
It's no problem.

Always nice to see students take an interest in their teachers.

>>44381505
Well, then I'll get it when I get it.

Criminey Criminey Criminey Croo

I'm casting dnagerous spells at you

Croggidy Craggidy Criggidy Crum

I am casting spells right out of my bum!

>>44381514
So you don't get like, Earth references like Anime?
>>44381513
Sorry, I don't sing for anything else but Lemon.
>>44381517
Are we still in Fortune City?
>>44381530
Yuppers.

>>44381465
O-oh... suddenly I don't feel like eating anything.

Is there anything that can be done or am I doomed? Just give it to me straight, I can take it.

>Ichabod visibly shakes in his boots

>>44381547
No, the northern barrens. Unfortunately the central heating system was decommissioned when Jake'ness the Pyromancer left for the Northern Barrens. We passed by vexlhenne though. Vex put a sombrero on me and declared us undying friends. It was a bit odd...

>>44381547
Huh? Oh, yeah, I watch Anime. Well, I actually mostly read the manga instead.

>>44381463
>nods
Just making sure. If you want I could pass on a message to her.
>>44381465
Please don't mention paladins today, it sours my mood.
>>44381473
Well I don't have much time for it these day sadly, between my wife running an empire and me running the department I'm swamped in responsibilities. If you want I can make some arrangements for you to take over what's left of the program.
>>44381492
I deal with corpses on a daily basis, and Veilhex just got a shiny new skull to work with. I think I can handle your definition of macabre.
>>44381547
No, I think we are in the Northern Wastes. Someone thought the snow would help everyone's festive spirits.

>>44381566

>>44381652
No, we just move a lot.

Well, she seemed nice. I'd like to visit sometime, it's nice not having the city guard on me constantly because I gave them a bad feeling in their gut.

BAH! Another solstice gathering at the Mages Guild and no doubt my invitation got "lost in the void". Eh, nothing they can do to stop me from crashing though.

>slithers off to the refreshments table to get drunk

How convenient.

I knew coming here was a good idea. You magic types really aren't as bad as people say you are.

Can I have the uh... cursemut thingamabob now?
