This is looking and feeling a whole lot like when you first woke up on this rock. Before you flip the light switch, what do you remember of how you got here?

Is that Nouille in a hammock? She's got a bunch of sharp teeth, I don't think you should shake her awake. But she can hear, so try calling out I guess.

Maybe put on some pants or something first.

Okay, so...you can't remember. But your headvoices DO. Which means us voices have a lot of explaining to do.

First thing, though? If that being in the hammock is who we think she is, she's an ALLY, not an enemy. Dunno if she remembers either, but if she does, don't panic, we'll fill you in as things go. Either way, she's nothing to worry about at the time.

The eye is new, though. No fucking clue about THAT one.

While your at it, find some for Nouille. She seems pretty shy and probably won't appreciate waking up naked with a man in her room (an alien man, but still).

Alternatively take a page from Katies book and motorboat her awake.

To be honest, I think both of you are sleeping and your minds are somehow connected to each other, which is allowing both of you to interact with each other.

Which means, even though she said she would never say any of those things to the real you, she actually did say those things to the real you.

.....unfortunately, Jack, since this is a dreamworld of sorts, that means that when you both somehow wake up, you’re gonna be missing that testicle again.

Hmmm, what could be causing this to happen though?
>>
No. 885420 ID: b59fad

Look, it's easy to tell if you're in a dream or not. If you try to read something, the letters won't make sense. Or, failing that, you can try count how many fingers you have, or look at the numbers of a clock. Unless her race has very precise, detailed dreams, the fact that all those things can be done without anything melting or blurring together or you losing track of the beginning before reaching the end or something should prove that this isn't a dream.

Or you can try the old pinch trial.

Problem is, the reading material in this room didn't make much sense before.
if this is a dreamworld, try exerting some control over it. Think of your van and try opening the door. Come to think of it, why'd you wake up here instead of in there? Did you form some sort of attachment to this one-night stand?

>I should be dreaming about one of 'ze unoun, yes?
Sounds like she's trying to justify her burning, perverted alien fetish to herself, or rather lack thereof. She's not putting you down because she's not interested, but because she secretly wants you bumping up against that thicc tail. Why else would her first thought be "this is a wet dream"?

It is not too late for you to correct this situation through strenuous, intense surprise motorboating.

She is totally protesting way too much. And blushing. Exactly how much of a turn-off are the teeth in comparison to dem titties a turn-on? Think about it.

Meantime... maybe she can make heads or tails of some of the reading material.

Either your momma was far-sighted to the point of oraclarity, or she was a big fan of niche horror/SF fiction. Nouille not having any apparent lower orifices is puzzling, though. I've been wondering if her species' breasts are actually some sort of womb-sacs where they gestate their children, or something. Did you catch glimpse of any details before she managed to get the hammock in place? Anything out of what you'd consider ordinary? Scientific curiosity alone, I assure you.

Anyway put your hands on that eye's lids and see if you can just push and pop it out the back of wherever it's sticking in. I recommend trying that before pulling the frame off because that could give it a glimpse of the writing, and perhaps you don't want the eye to know you're receiving any instructions?

... Actually, first thing first, politely tell the eye it's creeping you both out and ask if it would kindly leave. That doesn't work, then try push, and if that doesn't work then try taking the frame off and tossing it out the door.

Not a good idea. Either of you might catch an STD that you or Nouille don’t have antibodies for. And I dunno if that’s a nipple but it could be a spike penis for all we know about xenobiology.

There is a mirror behind you. If Nouille is reading her own language from psychic script, maybe it says something different when read from a mirror. Or you could remove the reflection of the eye by smashing it.

Okay, so. Here's our dirty little secret. Y'know all that lewd shit we keep egging you on to do? Normally...

WE DON'T ACTUALLY EXPECT YOU TO DO IT. (Unless you've already shown you're predisposed to doing it anyway then it's all fair game.) We just harp on it to mess with people. It's fun seeing the reactions. In cases like this...

NOW shit's awkward. Uhh...is there anything that's like. 'Gohoran', but not like HORRIBLY awkward, just mildly awkward that she still grossly disapproves of? Like, I dunno, you could cop a feel? That's awkward but I think y'all are cool enough that you could get over it.

tell her to stop, ask her to pinch herself real quick, tell her if it hurts and she doesn't wake up she's not dreaming. If anything this is some kind of metal trick... or for some reason the both of you have been telported to some strange land and that's not as crazy as it sounds since that's how this whole crazy adventure started for you in the first place.

Then ask if she can help take the frame off the wall.

I think we need fewer sticky fluids, not more. Try using the gubbins from Nouille's hut for leverage. Those rings and the bone might do the job eventually?

I don't know about you but this strikes me as a situation where jizzing in the eye just got more reasonable.

She's made it pretty clear from the get go of this dream. She's the one suggesting it, after all. She even admitted she finds Jack at least a little attractive.

Also we just learned that salat = fuck.

Do we know this for sure? I mean, she's being pretty forward for a virgin unless she's not a virgin by choice.

Quest is notorious for being shy on taking advantage of presented opportunity, much to the frustration of many quest-runners. I say go for it even for the sake of just seeing what happens. I'm pretty sure it's not real -- Jack's got both his balls -- so let's take a chance for once.

That's a bit of a leap of logic to be completely honest, there is nothing here to suggest that we have to do anything besides remove the eye, which might not have anything to do with her mother at all. In fact Nouille might be the one that isn't real, and all of this might be a test or trap, especially since the species thinks that humans are "degeneres putes et voyous". Either way, considering all the satanic shit we've seen and been through, I'd say we should keep the sinning to a minimum, especially in weird dream scenarios.

I'm totally open to the idea of fucking the noodle. Your half is a Vegas hotel room, there's gotta be condoms around somewhere, right? Wait fuck, the drawers were all empty.

Well anyway, either way I'd still lean toward pursuing other options first, like working together to peel off that eye frame... or maybe cut the rubbery stuff while the other lifts the frame? Let her know you'd be happy to try sex if necessary, but you think there might be alternate solutions that wouldn't involve soiling the poor young lady's honor and reputation.

Boning the busty alien is definitely an option worth pursuing, though.

Dude, try it. You're in a shared dream, so there's no physical risk. If it doesn't work to get y'all outta here and you both enjoyed it, then you at least found that out. If you regret doing it, then nobody else will know if you both never speak of it again. Y'all can act like it never happened. And if you find something so physically repugnant about her you can't go through with it, or vice versa, then at least you both found that out in secret and know not to try anything outside the dream.

No. 888256 ID: 9c48ac

hey, just caught up here.

So I think the reason you're having this shared dream is because we were, uh, "in" Nouille when she passed out. And took you with her, I guess.

Why she passed out in the first place, I don't know, but that... could also be because of us?

I kinda don't think the weird puzzle is likely to be solved by sex, but I guess this place is half powered by her mind, so. Unless that's not how it works at all.
Not that I'm objecting to the sex, really, just I don't think it'll achieve anything.

By the way, we found out Nouille's real name. You wanna hear it?

... sorry I'm at a total loss. Look, if you really want out of this you better be right-up blunt about that you do not want. If you're not physically capable of restraining her than words are all you have. You either need to convince her that rape is not cool, or ... tell her something nasty enough to kill the mood. Like... say you only do anal, and never as the receiving partner. Even if it doesn't turn her off, at least it puts you as far away as possible from her teeth. The problem here is she's very hot to trot and quite attracted to you and you have no idea about what her turn ons and turn offs are.

There's a good chance that this really is just a dream as you DO have both your testicles. Not much of a comfort but this encounter probably won't be fatal.

I do not blame you for not wanting to put your dick in her mouth though. I would not bone the garbage disposal either.

All else fails you could try motorboating her. It's been tried before, and I'm not sure if it made her uncomfortable or turned her on, but you do like her tits at least. So you'll have that going for you.

Look man, at this point you have three basic options: One, convince her this isn't a normal dream and accept the consequences for how far this has already gone before they get even worse; two, let her do what she wants and do your best to continue convincing her this is a normal dream, possibly by talking in gibberish or other dream logic things; three, just... do something to turn her off.

If you want to avoid fucking her and retain subtlety, I'd go for option three. Just start psychoanalyzing her. Start off with speculating on whether she's really as not interested in humans as she previous protested, and then continue on delivering any psychobabble about various possible meanings of the dream relating to her personality, subconscious desires and complexes you can think of. At the very least it'll probably stop her feeling so horny.

Now wait up a second, fucking may not be off the table. Hear me out; she's only interested in the taste of your jizz, not your dick. And since she doesn't have any bits down below, I think 'kissing' is not just foreplay, that is actually how they have sex. Especially with those little tentacle feeler things she just pulled out. I bet she reproduces like a cuttlefish, with those tentacle bits swapping sperm between mouth parts.

I understand not wanting to fuck the blender but you may not have to and she may not even want you to, I don't think she even understands the concept of a blowjob. That guy leech monster was naked and he didn't have a dick, thus my cuttlefish mouthsex theory. Sooooo, you just have to cum and let her eat it. You can manage that, right? You like her boobs, just motorboat her and jerk off. She'll be pleased and you don't need to get your dick mangled.

Bonus- the eye really does seem to be displeased with this lewdness. It may actually go away if you get nasty with her. Just transfer us to her and we'll explain about the 'humans don't produce jizz with their mouth, let him pull out his weird little stunty front-tail and he'll give you what you want'.

Nouille's "disapproving eye of my mother" theory really not really holding water right now, since as soon as she got all up in your personal space the eye went from glaring to just bored-looking. Maybe point this out?

Though who knows, if she stops feeling you up to look back at the eye maybe it'll go straight back to disapproving glare mode. Trying to convince someone that things are totally different when they're not looking is a joke that gets old real fast.

Hey Nouille. So, first thing's first. What you're doing is rape. Stop it.

Secondly, this isn't your dream alone. This maybe possibly real, but it's more than likely that the two of you are sharing the same dream. Which means it's more real than you think, but less real that the waking world.

Third, you do need to get rid of the eye. We don't know how.

It's called a beard! Human ancestor-creatures were covered in follicles called fur, which kept them warm and protected them from the stings of small creatures and certain other hazards. During their development, humans lost most of their fur so that they could become better at sweating, which gave them more endurance and allowed them to hunt faster prey animals by outlasting them. They retained some fur on their heads to protect them from the harsh light of the sun and give some extra padding against skull injuries. They now call that their "hair"! Human males also possess "beards", coarser fur around their mouths, which may be a sex display (like their deeper voices) or provide some additional protection from blunt damage to the head, which is one of the primary forms of damage that can be dealt by other humans. Many human males in their home culture choose to shave off their beards, which has roots in an attempt to appear more youthful but has sort of developed into its own whole complexly coded thing.

So, how does your kind have sex? I'll tell you right now you're looking in the wrong place if you want to have sex with him, unless you're interested in some preparatory foreplay. The human reproductive orifices/organs split off from the digestive tract at the other end, i.e. near their butt, though thankfully not combined with it. I assume you have a butt because everything needs a butt. I'd assume yours is near the end of your tail, but I don't know.

Don't be mad at Jack, he's done his best.
>>
No. 889418 ID: 094652

Nouille, you're going to damage something permanent. Get a hold of yourself, and stop crushing him to death with the constriction hold.

First off, you wanted to know why the majority of humans are dickheads? It's because our primary reproductive organs are located next to our assholes. In fact, the majority of dominant species on Earth have their primary reproductive organs right next to their organic waste disposal tubes. Some even connect! It's just a major quirk of Earth nature, but what you have to understand is you're doing is disturbing and dangerous to a human.

What this means for you though, is that if you bite him near the brain, it will be the exact opposite of sex. And will probably kill him. And even if this is a dream, the sheer terror could cause advanced brain damage - you know, the thing your partner had that forced you to put him down? So clear your head, and we can explain in detail AFTER you get out of this place.

Possibly with Kate.

Nouille, please relax. I'm sure Jack doesn't think any less of you. Besides, he thinks you have awesome boobs.

Killing yourself might have some serious consequences so that's right off the table. The reason why we think we have to get rid of the eye is because there's instructions printed right there in English, which is probably why you can't read them but Jack can.

If it's any consolation, the only reason why you're not having sex with Jack right now is because he doesn't want to but many of us thought it would have been cool.

Look, Nouille, Jack sacrificed a significant portion of one of his reproductive organs trading it to this guy for reasons that were really pretty heroic of him, no it doesn't grow back on its own and it is not something that happens in human reproduction anyway, and the whole thing was very stressful for him in addition to the obvious pain and so on you'd normally expect from such a thing.

Now I'm actually thinking we should let this guy in, but I think Jack isn't really going to be in a condition to speak clearly on his own behalf, so we need to speak for him and to do that we need you to speak for us, so if you would please that would be kind of you.

>I do not understand why 'e is so distressed. 'E bent 'is finger, is 'zat bad?
Jack's species (and presumably this guy as well) have rigid structures in their body that give it shape. A framework. One consequence of this is it limits how much and in what ways some body parts move. Bending his finger that way would have required breaking the "bone" inside. This is intensely painful, and possibly permanently disfiguring if the bone does not heal correctly, and is slow to heal. It's an act of willful self mutilation.

No. 895619 ID: 094652

I think we just lost a free asset, but given this guy's vocabulary, I think that was a good thing.

Human bones were meant for gripping things, not flexing back and forth. So that was damaging to him.

Broker, we will explain this plainly. The overcharge and form of reparations were presented in a way that is simply anti-charismatic. To put it simply, you have lost two matches of a [large number]-match game. You also won a match by convincing us to perform a transaction with you, despite our slightly better judgement. You need to work on your skill in presentation to win more matches of this merchant game.

Right now, you creep us the @#$% out. Your charisma score relative to us is low. That means any transaction requires incentive - higher transactions of assets for lower potential gain - if you want our attention. If you present your goods well, and explain how they may be applied to our current predicaments, that makes it easier for you to negotiate a higher price.

I am deciding the most prudent way to answer these, without revealing more then necessary, as I have no desire to prematurely eat through the payment I have made for you. To your concern that I may be lying, I have no interest in tricking you or Jack with this answer, with particular emphasis, not NOW that I have PAID for the information I will give to you. My nature is to tell only truth, in exchange for nourishing agony.

:rJackMortified: ...

:rXyphylys: There is a man here, who owns me. This man is the same man who kidnapped you and your sexual partner "Candy". You may know him, indirectly. You have visited his home already. You have removed his peering eye, for which I am grateful. He used me and my 'services' to accomplish this feat, kidnapping humans from their... "native home". He has also kidnapped others, on occasion. His name is 'Niin'.

:rNouilleDoubt: Nine? A number?

:rXyphylys: N, I, I, N. This is not his real name, it is a stupid name he has given to himself. He is a demonologist. I hate this man. He is ignorant, idiotic, narcassistic, and egotistical, qualities that I do not share. For reasons of ritual significance, I am unable to serve anyone, except him. For reasons of ritual significance, I am able to serve you, Jack. I wish to serve you instead of him. You are not a demonologist, and you do not regard my abilities with value, or desire to pay me in exchange for them. This is understandable. Few humans appreciate what we may give you. However, in another situation, this non-appreciation would make you a poor choice. Unfortunately, you are my only choice. I wish to leave this place. You may help me, so that I may help you leave this place.

Ah, so he's offering you his services on one condition: get him the @#$% away from Niin. The price for accepting this, to us, is (A) lowered overall charisma because we enlisted a sadisticannibalist, and (B) we make enemies with Niin, the guy who is in charge of this place. Oh, and (C) the possibility that we're eventually letting a psycho loose on some unsuspecting world.

... Face it, you hate Niin already don't you. I'd consider the benefits of raising a flag of diplomacy with the only demonologist in a demon-infested asteroid but... yeah. Probably won't go well.

Here are some terms and conditions:
(A) He gets to keep his non-sentient property and assets. We cannot order him to perform any suicidal acts. He's not our slave, and we don't want to piss him off by treating him like one.
(B) That said, the main price for accepting his job contract is that we reserve the right to transfer ownership of any of his sentient assets, to anyone, for any reason, at any given time. That clause is specifically included for freeing slaves. This is the main price for saving his ass from Niin.
(C) If he has any debts or curses, that's on him, because you're letting him keep his assets and property. We can help with his baggage, but we reserve the right to not give a @#$%.
(D) If he wants agony of a permanent nature, he's going to need to ask us and you first. Mostly, we'll be torturing our enemies for stuff.
(E) We can give orders. He can choose not to follow them. We'll understand, but we won't like it. And if he pisses us off enough, well... sheep.

In short, he'll come with us, and he'll come out rich, but if he's bending the knee to us so he doesn't have to bend over to the other asshole? He'll play by our rules. End of story.

You're all so trusting. Very well. If you're how that guy kidnapped us, then enabling your separation sounds like a good idea, for now. I also imagine that you are not the only demon in this -ologist's service, and as we have none on our side it would be good to level the playing field.

He's a demon, he hates his master, his master has screwed you over. For the time being we'd be foolish to refuse his help -- we have a common enemy.

What he's saying right now that Jack's a perfect choice for master strictly on the fact that Jack is very likely to let him go the moment he can go home, which means he can find a new, more agreeable master. They part ways, Jack gets what he wants, demon gets what he wants. We don't have a lot of options, especially since this Niin character is going to spy on Jack. One less demon in his service is a boon for us despite the risks.

:rXyphylys: I apologize. Again. I am not accustomed to a social situation where I am not in partial or total control.

:rNouilleAngry: ...

:rXyphylys: May I be allowed to speak?

:rNouilleAngry: ...

:rXyphylys: Excellent, my friends. Your suggestion of using others to pay me is acceptable. Unfortunately, I do not have suggestions of my own as to who you may target. You may be interested to know, you have already met nearly everyone of importance who is currently festering on this accursed tiny rock. It is not large. Should you wish to trade the pain of another, it will need to come from one of these beings you have already met. Preferably human, though I have learned that I may begrudgingly accept alien agony also.

:rXyphylys: However... Niin is, for reasons of ritual significance, incapable of direct interaction. I predict he will pull someone here, to act as his hands. I will know of this when and if it happens and I will inform you at that time. It may present an excellent source of agony for me to feast on.

:rXyphylys: More important then what is brought here is how it may be taken away. I am not directly capable of this feat. My employer bargained my knowledge of my brethren to assist him in summoning another of my kind, one who gave him the talent to move from this place in-between and back again, among many other places. I will assist you with summoning this demon, though the ritual is difficult, I have a price, and this demon summoned will have a price also. Consider that you will have a great deal of power after, useful not only for escaping this place but for much else also. For this matter, I may also help you summon an enormously wide host of my kind should you desire it, each with their own power and strength to offer, though there is only one that will directly assist our escape.

:rXyphylys: You may also pry the talent from Niin's worthless skull, though this may be difficult. I have already assisted him in several matters, the end result of which being that his home is largely impregnable. When you have awoken, I may show you what I speak of. If you are able to confront him, I can assist with this transfer of ability, and for this I would gladly pay myself my own price once again. Though it may be less complicated to learn this talent for yourself and not need to ever interact with him. You need not make a decision now. I would suggest you do not.

:rXyphylys: These are the two paths that I know of, and I know of everything that is. This is the information that I wished to impart upon you. It may be worth knowing, I do not know of everything that will be. It is conceivable that circumstances may change. I doubt this. I inform you merely as I wish to be thorough.

So there's nothing to worry about! Pretty soon you'll be on your way back home ... As long as you stay here, 'cause like, most things on this rock will kill you.

Take stock of your life. Your van's exploded, Candy's bleeding out and Nouille still has your laptop. Reuniting the party, in more ways than one, is the current goal. But first! Is that book that was definitely not a bible still in your hotel room? The demon mentioned summoning another of his kind could help you get out of here, and he had another price to pay.

:rVictorB: [[Demrin comes from a place with many sentient species, like our world. But, only one dominant species, like yours. Her people have utterly subjugated all others.

No. 911253 ID: 094652

Just make her think it's her idea. From her culture, she won't realize the difference between taking point and taking command.

Challenge her to a contest that she can easily win (without making yourself look useless), then convince her to take you on as her 'thought slave', so you have to do all the menial thinking and planning and choosing while she gets to be the video game protagonist who just kills everything on her way to the exit.
>>
No. 911258 ID: 080aaf

Before you go submitting yourself to Demrin as a slave, consider you already have a demon in your service. If Xyphylys could be bargained with for information she would be interested in, we could show our dominance as a person who Gets Shit Done, specifically in the field of Getting Off Rocks. In fact, he may have given us such information already, precluding the need to punch ourselves in the ball or whatnot to make another deal. Then, as the man with the resources to facilitate escape, we would be someone Demrin would want to follow.
Feel free to switch back to groveling when you can't keep up the air of confidence, though.

Scary is one word for it, I suppose. Anyway, prove yourself the same way he did, by knowing something only she would know. This means summoning him again to get the dirty little secrets. ("Alright Xyphylys, help me out here...")

You can't blame her for thinking that sounds crazy. But, then again, she should look around herself. She's stuck on some crazy, alien world filled with things that are too bizarre to describe without sounding like a maniac. Maybe you have a demon in your service, and maybe you don't. You have ways of proving it to her, though you doubt either you or she would enjoy them. What does she have to lose if she takes you at your word, though? You have no cause or even ability to harm her and if you really are just some crazy human, then at least you might be useful as a distraction from the dullness of life in the trench.

Then he gets all offended at you and says "Oh no, this place isn't crazy. The 'rules' are consistent!" Then you'd know how I feel. He tastes like me because neither of us are from around here. I don't come from his world, but neither of us came from this world, which is as strange to me as he is to you.

Why is she staying here if she hates it so much? It's not out of a sense of loyalty or altruism. Do they have something she needs? Is it because she has no other recourse?

I think it's mostly a sense of duty; a desire to work for a cause and make the people around you work harder, even if you have to enslave and torture them all to get them motivated.
