Casey moans as the Creator thrusts away inside her. She pushed herself up so that she can kiss the length of their iridescent neck. Their hand caresses up the curve of her waist and kneads her breast.

“There we go, feel all of me.” She insists, hooking her legs around the angel. “Would you believe, this isn’t the first time I’ve had sex with a god?”

The Fate chuckles. “Am I really a god?”

“Close enough.” Casey giggles. “Certainly worthy of some carnal worship.”

“I certainly appreciate it.” They reply, as the gentle tug of the mouse’s pussy massages their cock. “Who was this other god, then?”

“Ah! A nice Coatl named Flashing Feathers. He was worshiped a long time ago in a valley full of rainbows. We set him free after being trapped by his priests for a few centuries.”

The bird nods, their hips keeping a steady rhythm. “It sounds like that was after my time. I knew one or two coatl back on the elemental plane: absolutely gorgeous fellows.” They sigh as a little pang of nostalgia flutters in their breast.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

Would an avatar of Life itself be interested in preparing Casey to be a future surrogate for (half-)elementals? Advice would be nice, for one. She's no alchemist, but she could collect their "essence" to study as a potential catalyst or aid. Maybe if there's a lot of "essence", Casey can simulate the experience here outright.

What was Lifey's experience with coatls like? If "Daddy" is feelin nostalgic, Casey can replicate it.

Kol and Gabe eye the ghost with a shared grin. “You want to join us?” The Medium asks.

“You sure I won’t get in the way?” Allayane replies, looking a little self conscious.

The mouse scratches his chin, “I’ve got an idea. Gabe, how do you wanna do it?”

He bites his lip and answers in a hungry voice, “Mmm, I want you to bend me over and rail me…” The Sender rolls over and hikes his tail in an open invitation.

Kol nods in approval. “Perfect. Allayane, why don’t you climb up on his back?”

The otter clambers up easily, not having to worry about the weight of a real body. “Like this?” She asks, leaning back from her perch.

“Ooh, what’re you gonna do, Kol?” Gabe asks, looking back over his shoulder.

The Medium closes his eyes and takes a moment to concentrate. As he exhales, a blur surrounds him as his spirit untethers itself and floats up just a few inches. Kol’s spirit waves its arms experimentally and the body follows along as a living puppet: perfectly equipping him to please both partners. “How’s that? Something I, uh, thought of a little while ago.”

Oh hell yeah. Not punch ghost, but thrust ghost

Possible answers to the question that was asked for the first one:

A) Order Worm Works to tell you about Worm Lord.

B) Tell Worm Works to tell you about Worm Lord.

C) Ignore the existence of the Worm Lord.

D) Other suggestions.


Possible answers to the question that was asked for the second one:

A) Tell that your weakness is that you can't fight anybody.

B) Tell that your weakness is that you are too naive.

C) Tell that your weakness is that you can't stop lying.

D) Other suggestions.

Well, Bobbie, we're told to be vulgar around here, so give it a try: go ahead and call wormworks dickwanks. No offense, just getting Bobbie accustomed to the culture.

C for the first one, it's obvious we're not going to get a clear answer from him, and he's too nervous to speak about it and is a waste of time at the moment. Was an interesting reaction though. We'll find out later I think, when he's ready, or we stumble across learning about him ourselves. Let's stay on topic with the matter on hand

I think B for the second question. Lying can be beneficial, and there are workarounds to not being able to fight as we can have others fight our battles for example.

Oh I do believe you're underhandedly helping. However I might be the only one that gets how that may be useful. We are a team and I'm only one voice. So the catch is you are one voice but nevertheless you force decisions on us. While I still believe you are a loyalist the others may not be so inclined. Even I have my limits on being pushed too. Just a warning to keep in mind. Per - let's call him WL - I'll take your word. Seems like trouble, far too much to ever be worthwhile. Weakness during the siege, eh? Have to say it's that we had no proper backup plans ready to go. Had he called the bluff it was done, we lose. Period. We need options where several things must fail to get to a losing scenario.

It's fine, don't tell us about Worm Lord. Only, by withholding that information you make it obvious we should look into it ourselves. Perhaps you'd like to make sure we don't get the wrong idea?

You know it's only helping if we agree on the end goal. So why don't you tell us what you think are our weaknesses. I have the feeling we'll disagree.
Though I would say Bobbie's main weakness is getting flustered at people's harsh words.

I peek behind the curtains and saw something that I shouldn't have. I just hope that I didn't invite anything with mentioning WL.

Yea, watch all of these in order. You MUST have context!

The numbers... are they iterations? Like, each time the colonists alter the past, they choose if they want to preserve their memories from the previous iteration of the timeline or if they want the next iteration to take their place.

Either you @#$%ed up, or you were forced to @#$% up.
Decisions like these... you can't half-ass them, and you can't minimize the number of people making such a choice. Maybe the colonists would have created a hellish dystopia of the ancient world - created literal Hell by repeatedly torturing the same exact people to death, over and over, to pander their egos. Or maybe you were deceived, brainwashed into thinking the colonists were all insane and had to be murdered. A few saboteurs will never be enough to fully inform themselves.

The question is, how pressured were you to trust yourselves? Because this is a dumb decision - too dumb. It's possible you were wired this way by an outside force. Serenity-100 would have the perfect motivation to excessively screw you over - kill all the other colonists, and he'd obtain a monopoly on supertech and could finally play god with the world.

just say that the message didn't really tell you anything new, it just hurt to hear it coming from your own mouth, as it were.

Lets watch another, they can't all be heartbreaking confessions, right?

I second the motion that you play another record and that you don't talk about this yet.
We don't know what else is on these records but at least the language barrier might help with them not getting too much possibly disturbing information out of it before you want to show your whole bloodstained hand here. :/

Also, this might be the only time to see them for yourself if Shyama decides that you shouldn't have access to them once the others tell them about this.
PS: I am not sure yet how the timeline with the bodyswap works out, so think about the voice in that record: was that your intonation, your typical choice of words or does it feel like that might have been another person in the body that you inhabit right now? (The text color matches but it doesn't really match up with the way you pictured yourself in your dreams)

PPS: Also, maybe tell Maya a bit about how the projection works technically, I have the feeling that she may appreciate that :3

Damn.
No custom conveyance.

Cart then unless she wants to try hiding at the bottom and hoping they miss her.

Perhaps the cart could be moved by two elves while the most stealthy could lead the way.

Of the three id expect maid dalvari to be the stronger, most used to physical labour though perhaps florist syndra may match her.
The most quiet step id say belongs to maid dalvari.
Serving staff are adept at moving without notice among lords and ladies so as not to disturb them
While her stealth may not be a match for a scout or thief, she is certainly the most able of the trio.

So!
Florist and poet aid the siren. Two moving the cart will give them a little more speed.

Maid scouts ahead and checks each corridor, guiding their motion by hand signal or falling back if its a more detailed instruction or plan to share.

The escape this offers the siren may also offer the elves escape too.

If the siren can help them once shes in her element, then she could swim them through any submerged sections quicker than they could get through themselves.
Presuming the stream is fully submerged at points.

The siren doesn't seem to want to be left behind. the cake trolley will have to do

it doesn't seem possible that the Harroctar could attack a city as large as Orisyelle Lord Xielphiane magic should have kept it hidden, and driven them away even if found.

why didn't the magic protect them?

in any case emergency rescue should be at the meeting fountain at the hidden spring outside of town.

Miss Dalvari scouts ahead leaving her friends to help the siren and the archer.

She reaches the study with the hidden passage.

Grab the MEDICINE book and then wave the crew forward to join us. That book might come in handy for elf survival!

Promising.

I dont think the room would look so well appointed with one of those monsters lurking within.

Grabbing the book is a fine idea.
It can double as an emergency sheild or thrown object, but hopefully it will not be needed for its improvised or intended purpose.

Agreed.
It is time to bring your friends forward.
However, your job does not end at the wave.

Quietly clear their path of any potential noise making collision obstacles like scattered furniture or dropped gear and other partyware discarded in panic.
Just place it safely at the hall side.
Also, spare a glance towards them as they move towards you.
Watch behind them specifically for beasts entering the corridor on random patrol.
Spotting them first could buy the precious seconds needed to take cover.

Grab every book you can carry, starting with Medicine and Magic. This place is going up in smoke anyway.

Briella has many proficiencies, be more specific hag.

I think she just told us to "get good". Clearly she believes were are suffering from a skill issue. Verily, we must show her we lack in no skills and should show off some fancy sword play

No! Don’t fall into her trap! If we attempt to show any level of skill, she will say it is not good enough! Any feat we perform will be “rookie numbers” to her. We must boldly inform this hag that we have nothing to prove to her!

She heckles at your skills in an attempt for you to show off. Guard dropped, she gets ya with her magic. Maybe even steal your powers.

She's after your high score!

Go meet the last monster. Why would you even contemplate wasting another second with Raito?

B.
Don't believe everything you hear from this guy, Rattus.

>>1097195
A. Raito's whole drama act is kind of entertaining, actually. Ask if he's into dorky shit like acting and theater. See what he thinks the Creator actually wants, and if he's figured anything out from Rattus' weird prophetic babbling. Does he have any thoughts on Girltown and what it might mean?

Maybe Pinch is right and we're helicopter parenting the new homunculi too much. Wallace is strong and Craw is reasonable, we should trust them to handle the monster situation.

>>1097195
Go b.

Talking to raito will lead to more punchings

B) you're in no shape to confront Raito. He's not right, but it will take some self reflection to be able to articulate how in a way that would convince others.

The fissure continues horizontally some 150', through about forty feet of wall and then diagonally across the floor of a pillared hall roughly twice the size of the one Kisara and Caitlyn are currently in. Below the fissure's entire length, there's a cave, seemingly separate from - but comparable in size to - the one under the hole Cold and Woe went down. Both areas are basically pitch black, so effective mapping would require a light source... or, possibly, a calligraphy brush Kisara can wield in bat form, to take notes as part of an echolocation-based survey.

Traversing the fissure to reach that larger hall might be relatively straightforward, by professional rock-climber standards - just gotta go single file, pressure-walking against opposite walls - but if part of it turns out to still be unstable, who knows how much rock could suddenly be coming down on your head. There's almost certainly another way around, longer but safer.

I rub my neck, where a dull pain still exists. "A little bit; my Magic has been helping in the healing process, but it still stings from time to time."

I think letting my imagination run wild was Wilabo's first mistake; her second mistake was being Wilabo, I think I get a decent idea of what those two are doing, and as much as I want to press them on it, I think allowing you to give suggestions on what should I say to tease her.

What should I ask Wilabo or Iceli during our walk, Beans? Having more information on them would be suitable for getting a good scope on them, both friendly and for any future plans.

Eh, give her a break, as funny as teasing is, i think its time we got serious. Talking about the magical ranking is a good stepping stone. Talk about any concerns you might have on your ranking, and how its partly why you want to go to the gym, to train your magical abilities with your physical strength together and come up with some good combinations.

From there, you can talk about what kinds of magical abilities everyone has, and agree to keep each others' a secret within this friend group. Tell them you'd like to know so that we can come up with some fun training exercises and regimes based off of what abilities everyone has

Ask wilabou how she'd feel about having a hypothetical bundle of spirits shoved inside of her that could give her protips and also opinions and thoughts and watch anime with her.

We have the spa/cafe area. If Calculator felt like getting in on the fun, having her run some games of chance (maybe with a twist or two) could be fun.

Might also be neat to do some more in depth research to find out how the sterility works? Like, how does it interfere with the reproductive process exactly?

>Mass-genocide through sterilization
Bastards. Not the population control part, the extermination of all cultures outside of the IOD for the crime of merely existing part.
...Wait. Could it be? Could they be trying to exterminate all life other than themselves because they are also biologically doomed?

>5 Sakkilians as breeders
You'll ask around. Many of your colonists wanted back into cold sleep, or to find their prospects elsewhere. You can spare a dozen volunteers.
However, it would be more viable to purchase Wronkir genetic material and start cloning right away. With their engineering crews, you could temporarily increase the yield of your cloning facilities and get everyone's kids in a couple days.

>everyone is sterile
It's a form of population control, to make sure that nobody can gain the numbers needed to attempt to overthrow the IOD.

>need breeders
You'd better explain exactly how things work, so that she knows what she wants.

Explain the accelerated pregnancy process that allows birth within one day. And also explain the process of rapidly growing a child into an adult while implanting memories of their entire lives.

And if she wants the children to be rapidly grown into adults, then you'll need to update you capsules to implant memories of her race's culture, so that the children won't be alienated from their own parents by getting only Sakkilian culture implanted into them.

...wait, if we've powered down the ship, do we still have our prisoner contained and the drones cared for? What about the cyborg, how long can she go without a charging station?

Accept the deal, on condition that you vet who you will send over. You will need to do a roll call of willing volunteers, and evaluate their fertility, eagerness, and likelihood of romantic attachment. That last one isn't necessarily wrong, but resources are tight enough that you wouldn't want to lose your crew to anything, even this. Of course, discussing logistics can want after the signing. You don't want this contract declared null and void from dissatisfaction during the "signing" ;)

If there's any highborn that prefers a live-in partner, they will need to wait about a week for them. Ostensibly, this is to clear their work schedule and settle their duties. In truth, you'll need time to spin up the cryopods to make Breeders, or replacements for any crew that retires here. You can guarantee they'll be the most fertile among your crew, at least.

Ask about the child-rearing practices for her kind. With one of your own to care of during shore leave, you might as well help with hers while you're at it.

> “Be it from some biological agent or electronic wave, all I know is that every last person here cannot conceive a child no longer.
Hand off a copy of Vex's viral analysis as show of both good faith and interest in her colony's problems. It might prove misleading or outdated, but it's aid nonetheless.

Whatever the means, your species has been proven "naturally" resistant to IOD methods of control. All the more reason none of your kind be in their hands, least they use them to circumvent the means.

>No, there has to be some other reason.
Twice you've made clear how close you are to the High Magister. It'd be quite dim of him if he didn't realize what would happen if he left you to your own devices here.
