World of Monsters CYOA (Part II)

C

and Tengu cosplay.
who knows maybe it'll jog her memory a bit

Lets first wait for our new member C.

Well, she's not blank now, but not her old self... Interesting. Since we didn't put a personality into Ayane, I wonder if she's going to be the timid girl type until we can restore her some more. I look forward to her interactions with everybody.

Provided we don't miss Valeria, I say we go look for Anna, I'm interested in how that will play out... If she's in on it and will stop us, or if she is just another pawn...

But yeah, Tengu Cosplay works good, mask unequipped for right now...

So something like this right?:

P.S. We should really use DOA for some fun costumes(sexy costumes and ready reference pics), Ayane alone has countless

A time is of the essence.

as for her clothes, if its possible I would suggest that training dummy outfit she wore in some of the games, that blue black one.

The "Tengu cosplay" is something actually in our inventory, which is why Rainday made that connection (being a recolor of HER p1 outfit), I don't think we have something that can match up with the MIST suit, closest being N-Type (Numbers) suit.

I'll also agree to Tengu Cosplay on Ayane. As for the main choice, wait for Valeria. We've done so much tonight, I can't believe it's not morning yet.

Completly overread that thing with Ayane's coleths.
So let's go with the flow and take the tengu.

Echoing this as well.

There really wasn't much time for investigating right now, and those leads felt so easy that Celtica had a feeling they wouldn't turn up. If this slave trade had been going on for a while they would have needed some good tricks, or large bribes, to stay hidden. And Valeria would be here soon too, better to wait. And while they waited Ayane got herself dressed in a lovely purple kimono-like outfit with large black fake wings connected to it's back. They looked quite realistic and actually moved to a small extent, though they couldn't let one actually fly like a tengu.

With that the party went out and met up with the red haired beauty, Celtica smiling and shaking her hand when they saw each other. "I gathered up a few things for you. If you're gonna be with us then it's only fair to split some of this stuff your way too." she said, making Valeria smile. "You are quite kind Celtica, I'll be sure to remember that." the merchant said with a wink.

With Elphelt standing cheerfully on one side and Ayane looking serious on the other in the Tengu-like outfit, it was time to decide where to go. There was a river nearby with a bridge that could take them along the the more monster controlled southern path to Port Einzel, or they could continue going west to Port Natra. The Einzel path would likely be more dangerous, but perhaps they could save more people from monsters in the process. Meanwhile, though it was only a theory Celtica believed that the more human populated and controlled northern route might hold more keys towards finding out about these slavers. This camp was on the northern side of the river after all, and this whole thing seemed to be run by humans.

A. Continue West.
B. Cross the Aeros River Bridge and go Southwest.
C. Write-In.

Actually the night ended a little while ago, Celtica went to sleep and had a dream about Morrigan, then the Ayane stuff has been early morning.

Hmmm, monster girls, or slave trade...

A.  While we're on this peaceful path we should take a break and equip Valeria with Golden Glory Dress and apply her makeup.  I guess Elphelt or Asia should do that since the rest of the party probably has no experience in that department. Be interesting to see what someone with S level charisma and that makeup could do ^__^

Also I'm sure we'll run into training dummy/MIST outfit eventually, one way or another =)

Weren't we headed West originally, onward to A

Also picking mainly A, but I also have something to add to it for non-major action:

If Ayane is able to utilize her skills, despite still being mostly a conditioned slave, we should probably give her a weapon, and I suggest the Cyclone Blade, since we now have a better spear for Nephenee. Also, mention to Asia that she should show the Judgement Crest to Valeria, to see if she might have an idea as to what it is.

Seconding Cyclone Blade and the Judgment Crest

The path to Port Natra was not only safer, probably, but may lead to breakthroughs for Ayane. Tt was certainly the correct choice. As they began moving though Celtica wanted to have Valeria check something. "Hey, so we've had this crest thing for a while now and we still don't actually know what it does." she said, pointing over to the crest Asia was carrying with her. "Something about a magic lock of some sort, think you could take a look?" Celtica asked. Valeria nodded and went over to Asia to examine it.

"Hmmm...it's certainly a container for something, and if I had to guess based on these materials whatever is inside is being magically compressed and is larger than the crest itself. Does anyone in your party know any magic to unseal such a thing?" she asked, and Celtica shook her head. "Then your best bet would either be to find a spell that could unlock it, or there is a certain kind of blade designed for unlocking. They are rare but finding one of those could prove useful." Valeria explained. Either of those would be things to keep in mind when they are looking into shops.

The party continued their trek along the western path, a ways away they could vaguely see the running waters of the Aeros River coursing in the same direction as their own trail. The somewhat distant sound of running water actually made for some nice background noise as they moved through the green environment. They were a bit slower than usual due to a lack of much sleep for some of them but they were going at a decent enough pace.

"Hold it right there!" A fairly young sounding voice rang out as before them stood a woman with long lavender hair. Her body was covered in a black fancy looking bodysuit with glowing red lines going across it, forming into glowing red pluses in certain places, while the top half of her face was surrounded by a black and red visor of a similar look. Black lipstick was on her smirking lips, a black plus-like hairclip was in her hair and in her hands she held a black blade handle with a glowing red energy sword jolt out from it.

"Well, you don't look like a monster and you look too strange for a bandit. Who are you?" Bullet asked. "Fufufufu...I am a servant of evil, ready to spread corruption wherever I go! I am Evil Sister!" the mystery woman said, almost sounding like she was overacting. But over the top or not, with her blade pointed at the party she seemed serious. "Fighting all of us at once is foolish, but we'll leave the talking for once we've taken you down!" Celtica told her in response

A. Have Ayane and Valeria fight her to show their abilities.
B. Have the party try to surround and defeat her.
C. Keep back and attack from a range.
D. Write-In.

And the original form of this character-

Spoiler:

Also oh hey we are on a new thread now.

D. Ignore her. She's so bland, she isn't even really worth noticing.

B. Have the party try to surround and defeat her.

Hmm having a goddess' little sister under our thumb (and us in general) could be fun

A could be interesting, and what a lovely outfit she's wearing =) Would like to see what Valeria can do with S charisma and her lovely new makeup at least. As for equipment, I would be fine giving her the cyclone blade, but we all know she is more than capable with her hands and has

As for the topic split, I didn't do it, I take it D would of said something by now, and Lady Malboro didn't say anything either ... So I assume it was automatic. But yeah may want to post the Party Info and Notebook in your signature or earliest post, I'll close and number the old thread and stuff.

Wait, that WASN'T you?

Putting the party and notebook stuff in my sig is actually something I should have done a while ago, thanks for the reminder there.

DoubleEdged wrote:Wait, that WASN'T you?

No, I would of made an announcement beforehand to make sure no post where lost while doing it. Plus I was out watching Wonder Woman.

Also, np about the reminder dood.

Picking B as well. Poor Nepgear, even as a midboss, she's barely interesting.

I thought Zero had done it, but its entirely possible that the forum split it automatically.

Hmm I wonder, if we do capture and enslave nepgear, could we locate Vert and sell her for an abundance of gold

Just messing....unless there's a pot of gold on the horizon

I will go with A as well.
Asia should be good enough for a little fish like this.
Or not?

A, whatever happens will be good.

"Alright. Ayane, Valeria let's see what you can do. This enemy looks weak enough." Celtica said, Ayane nodding and stepping forward with the double sided blade of winds in her hand. "After all the gifts you've given me I can't exactly let myself be dead weight." Valeria said with a smile as she too stepped forward, a confident smile on her makeup clad face. "Hold on, you are only sending out two fighters? And what do you mean weak!? I'm a powerful evil villain! I swear!" the visored girl whined.

"To be honest, you look pretty powerless to me. You look more like someone's lackey than the big bad. Why not come work for me? I'll make it worth your while~" Valeria said as she continued to step forward fearlessly until she was right up at the woman, who was blushing a fair bit. "I-I would, wait, no! I'm not an underling!" she said as she took a few steps back and entered a battle stance. "But you considered it, no? Sounds like an underling in denial." Valeria teased, making the girl quite red. Celtica figured this girl must be being controlled in some way, because it was now obvious that she was extremely easy to influence.

While their opponent was distracted by Valeria's teasing and dominant attitude, Ayane had snuck around behind and with a quick movement grabbed her and slammed her to the ground, disarming the energy blade from her hands and forcing her into an immobile position. "Hey, let me go! I will corrupt you all!" the girl shouted. "Oh shut it, you're all talk and everyone can tell." Ayane responded curtly.

"That was...kind of sad, but impressive." Celtica said. Using Valeria's charms to distract and daze opponents would be a useful strategy in the future and Ayane clearly recalled her fighting skills. For now they needed to decide what to do with their newest captive.

A. Knock her out and leave her.
B. Try and force information out of her. (What information?)
C. Let Valeria actually try to make an underling out of her.
D. Use the Whirlpool Orb since she seems easy to influence. (How will you influence her?)
E. Write-In.

D. Use the orb to undo her corruption. Even if Nepgear isn't much of a protagonist, she's good as a sidekick, and a very capable fighter. She'd be good as an addition to Celtica's forces; she would just need to be conditioned further to resist the control of others, because she's comically impressionable. XD
