I don't think we'll have a lot of anons tonight because its CHRISTMAS!, so after we wrap up our conversation with Sibella we'll go into a Christmas Special flashback.
Think of it as a DLC mission.
> We do know how it feels
>Catholicism is deep in tradition. I believe the tradition actually goes back further than vampire traditions?
"Well, you got me there! I suppose you do know how it feels. Are there things you want to change about the way your people do things? I know there are things about my own family I rather were different."
Sibella is really warming up to us! Those were style points well spent. If we express frustration about the Way Things Are in our life as a Catholic "Special Investigator" she might warm up to us even more!
On the other hand, we have our angel to think about...
WHAT DO WE SAY? REMEMBER ANGELS ARE WATCHING!
Good to see this one up today, won't be able to participate much, but I'll be watching.
I should mention that now that we have described most of the anon's, I can't get the image out of my head of all the other anon's sitting together acting weird/like they do in their quests while WinnieQuest anon looks on thinking they are all weirdos. Add that to the pile of art requests like Winnie vs White Fell and PQAnon's last message.
>>44360710
Anyways, I kinda like the line of thinking this anon >>44338171 came up with last thread. Lets broach this with a bit of humour, seeing as Abby would have strong words and a left hook for us if we went any more serious.
>>44360710
Start mouthing off about the pains of Catholicism, get worried we're going too far, backpedal, let something about angels slip, awkwardly backpedal more.
>Sometimes I feel a little uncertain about how special investigators do things.
>I get that we're protecting the world from monsters, but isn't it still murder? And who decides if they're monsters?
>But, I mean, it's OK because we're the good guys.
>I mean, we have God and angels at our side.
>Not-not like literally. You know, theologically we have angels floating over us.
>I mean, theo-I mean
>I mean, the angels are pretty cute
>Theologically
>You too
>>44360773
>>44361003
One vote for a discreet joke and the other for telling of our worries about being a murderer .
And while those Style Points prevent us from alienating Sibella with our awkwardness that doesn't mean we can't be awkward at all.
Sibella will just find it cute, so we can totally spazz a little if we want to.

>Sibella will just find it cute, so we can totally spazz a little if we want to.
Thank you based Quest Guy
Guy who wrote this >>44361003 of course, so don't count as second vote for cute spaghetti
>>44361047
Ok, in that case, seconding the spaghetti drop.
>>44361047
I am this guy >>44360773 on the road and I think I will change up my vote for awkward flailing.
Seeing as I figure that this quest will have the two of them playing "the dance" of wordplay, and I picture the both of them to miss a step here and there, I am okay with us dropping the ball like >>44361003 this. Besides, we aren't talking business, just talking with a cute vampiress. And just talking about nothing with the cutie is an excruciating experience.
>>44360710
"At times I desire some change but I'm not at the point where everything I want is exactly clear, you know?"
I really like how Sibella isn't a dark, edgy "bad girl" trope who isn't constantly alluding to her thirst for blood like the majority of vampire love interests.
>>44361398
To be fair, she is from the Hannah Barbera universe. It isn't known for its edge. That said, it is only the start of this quest and it is going to be somewhat darker in tone. We just don't know how yet.

Abdiel blinks. "...What?" She whispers grabbing your shoulder.
You and her have grown close over the years. You know about how she can't stand touching Earth with her feet. She knows about your...tastes in romantic literature. You know that Father Costilla's idea that she is a perfect emanation of God without true free will bothers her. She knows that you don't like killing, and only take the fangs to please the padre.
She's having trouble understanding why you would share something with strange vampire girl you just met that previously you only shared with her.
"W-What are you doing Anon? Don't tell her something like that! She doesn't need to KNOW something like that! How is that apart of our mission?"
Sibella takes a dainty sip from her teacup of strange liquid. Her pretty purple fingers curl around aged ivory.
She has the graceful table manners of a nun. But she doesn't look a thing like any nuns you ever knew...
"It's alright." Sibella says with an encouraging nod. "It's never an easy call to make. "Is this one too far gone? Can this one possibly be saved?". It's not easy...and for what its worth I thank you for trying to be fair. Its something that needs to be done, there's simply no way around it."
Sibella gives you a large smile, the kind you've only seen inside your books. "You know if you ever need a reminder about what you're fighting for, I bet I find a reward for you."
She winks. And truthfully you've never seen that kind of wink anywhere before.
You think...She's into you...
Your nerves are gong nuts. It's like that time in Louisiana when the Masked Mard Gras Slasher was attacking you in the bayou with the machete and six attractive girls including Miss Mardi Gras were hanging onto you for safety....
....BUT ITS WORSE!
-cont
>>44361495
I'm all for a darker, even edgy quest.
It's just that I'm sick of the cliche vampire bad girl, and I'm most of us are too.
I'm just glad to see SibellaQuest isn't going down that well-memed path and is actually doing a more likable, even original vampire girl.
>>44361528
>Miss Mardi Gras
Oh god, I love the idea of sweaty hunter anon. he'd get devoured on bourbon street.
Oh sweet, I'm on time for this thread as well!
Sibella is definitely my favorite so I'll do my best to be here for all of the quest featuring her.
>>44361571
Agreed, give me social vampires with "thredance" and/or a playful fun loving vampire. They'll suck your blood if they feel like it, but they won't go rage mode.
Also, can't wait for the puns.
So hey.
Those 5 Style Points were definitely well spent.
>>44361528
I've found a mistake here:
>....BUT ITS WORSE!
This is supposed to say "better"
>>44361528
You glance over to Benny. Its a reflexive partner check made in this nervy atmosphere of DANGER.
He's over at the Soul Edge machine getting his ass kicked. He waves.
Partner Check over. You see no reason to call for backup.
"A reward?" Abdiel flaps cautiously over Sibella examining her, slowly hovering back and forth. "...Be careful Anon. "Reward" is something I know can have two meanings! This could be a trap!"
Poor Abby. She knows a little innuendo. Just never the right innuendo.
>I mean, we have God and angels at our side.
"Ha! Well in that case be sure to put in a good word for me with the big guy! My family hasn't been known for being on the best of terms with him you know!"
"Anon." Abby crosses her arms. "As much as I dislike her use of the familiar term "big guy" to refer to Lord God, I believe we should pray for her. Very hard in fact."
Prayers are a big tool in the passive aggressive angel toolbox. Abby has sometimes threatened to pray for you for entire weeks.
>Not-Not like literally. You know, theologically we have angels floating over us.
"Oh I think I get what you-"
>I mean, theo-I mean
"No really, I think-"
>I mean, the angels are pretty cute!
Sibella tilts her head. "I...beg your pardon?"
Abdiel makes quiet, barely-finished sounds with her divine mouth. They sound like the pitter-patter of angelic church mice.
She swoops behind Sibella and stares over her shoulder at you.
...Oh great, now they're both staring at you... Think of a save! Think of a save! It's just like taking out two vampires with the same stake, difficult but possible!
Think of something!
>...Theologically
Abdiel stops making noises and stares.
Sibella stares.
Sibella shrugs. One corner of her plump red lips draws over one of her fangs as she smirks. "Uh, okay." She takes a sip of her drink.
"Theologically cute angels. I get it, I get it." She makes a slow, dismissive wave of her hand. You think she's just assuming it's a joke that
-cont
>>44361830
>mfw SibellaQuest puts my greentext in the story word for word
>>44361761
Was originally against it, can't deny it has been helpful in moving the ball along.
>>44361830
>"Think I know what you mean"
Oh boy does this mean what I think it means?"
>That dual stare
And here I thought we would be puniahed for critisizing the church. Abby may just smack us for the compliment instead.
>>44361830
>Well, Abby, now we know for sure that Sibella can NOT see you.
>So that's great.
>Mission accomplished.
>Because that's why we did that.
>Just gathering more information on our target.
>Please don't tell Padre
>>44361830
Smooth as a cucumber.
>Sibella can't see Abby but now is almost certain to know that she is there
>As an additional benefit the pizzeria has had its supply of complementary pasta magically replenished for a year or more.
>>44361761
Oh yes.
If you went without them and rolled poorly she was going to think you were some sort of barely -cognizant Catholic assassin and you would be sneaking into the Halloween party.
As things stand now she LIKES you.
>>44361874
It's good!
>>44361830
>cont
...You think she's just assuming its a joke that didn't come out of your mouth the right way.
"I am...theologically cute?" Abdiel's pretty brow creases over her pretty green eyes as she struggles to understand. "Um...I don't..."
She stares at you.
"...I'm sorry Anon but I'm lost here! W-What did you mean?" She asks with a note of anxiety rising within her voice.
EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO ABDIEL
>>44361982
Very pleased to hear we made the right choice there.
So what are the chances we can get her number or something?
>EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO ABDIEL
Like a sister or something, though uh can we not say that out loud.
>>44361982
"Uhhh, she can't see you and I was babbling, and I said you were cute but people can't normally see angels so I panicked!!"
More spaghetti.
So we'll be escorting Sibella out of the pizzeria, right?
>>44362038
Enough with spaghetti for a while.
>>44361982
Lets explain thos one later to her. Maybe make a subtle motion to reassure her we will talk about it.
>>44362054
I am with this guy, we missed a step, which is fine, but lets not go too far out of place. Maybe it is time to change the subject...
>>44361982
Wont we just look like we're talking to thin air if we explain ourselves
we dont want to look like schizophrenics.
>>44362094
Something that could lead to puns from Sibella and more flirting would be nice.
>>44361982
>EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO ABDIEL
Whisper harshly.
"Abby, not now, I'm in the middle of tense negotiation!"
Sweat pouring from out brow while we do this. That wink from sibella really threw us off.
>>44362198
We don't need to sweat, but hinting that we can't really answer her openly right now is a good idea.
>>44361732
Would just like to say I'm with this guy.
Very happy Sibella isn't like that.
>>44362038
>More Spagetti
>>44362094
>>44362054
>>44362100
>>44362100
>>44362198
>Cut off the pasta works for now
>Abby, not now, I'm in the middle of a tense negotiation!
You stretch your arm out under the pretense of stretching and touch one of Abdiel hands and lightly squeeze telling her to calm down.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She stammers as she darts back to your side. "I'm being indiscreet, I'm sorry! I should know better than to tempt you with talk in such a situation. I-It didn't mean anything important at all I bet, nothing we need to talk about right?" She laughs a very quick and very fake laugh.
You quickly cut your eyes as you focus on maintaining eye communicative contact with Sibella.
"...Right. I'll be quiet now..." Abdiel sinks out of your peripheral vision with a remorseful nod of her head.
Sibella touches the hand you placed out for Abdiel.
If Abdiel is looking you don't know what react she's having.
You feel yourself freezing under your hot seat.
Her hand is light and soft. It reminds you of Abdiel's hands. But there's a chill running under her skin. Blood works strangely in a vampire's body. It circulates, but the circulation doesn't warm the body as much as it does in a human.
It's like holding the hand of a moving statue, of a work of living art.
The cold is invigorating. Stimulating. Wonderful.
"You know Anon," Sibella starts. "When I finally flew into town and dusted off my wings--that's a joke Anon, I flew coach. I figured I had to pay you back for that angel thing-I decided to meet you before you met me because I was worried you would be more like...what my father fought a hundred years ago. You proved me wrong. Thank you."
-cont
>>44362484
>you would be more like...what my father fought a hundred years ago
A miserable little pile of secrets?
>>44362484
Her eyes flash with earnest emotion. From the bottom of my heart thank you! I've been fighting and fighting and fighting all the sides of my family and I come here expecting...well, you or I to drive the other batty, and imagine my surprise when I run into you! I've run into someone...like me!" Sibella says giving your hand a hopeful squeeze. "We're two kids, and we got these crazy old men in their ancient castles and cathedrals telling us what we're doing and what we should be doing and doesn't it just bite you? It...has to be bite you, because it bites the hell out of me and...I just know you're like me!"
You have to remind yourself that you aren't daydreaming. It's easy. You tell yourself that your daydreams were never this good.
"Well, I know I asked you to come to the Halloween Party and everything but that's in a week and...I want to see more of you!"
She parts her lips like a cat yawning. Her fangs hang down like two cute curving pieces of porcelain.
"And well, kids you know..." She says in a playful, almost sing-song voice. "Kids must do what they can to make their elders crossed..."
You think she wants to go out. To the movies. To dinner. To have sex. To suck your blood.
YOU'VE NEVER EVER EVER BEEN IN THIS KIND OF POSITION BEFORE.
WHAT DO WE SAY?
SHOULD WE CHECK ON ABDIEL? THIS SCENE MIGHT BE CONFUSING HER...
>>44362618
You too
>>44362618
Agree, and then discreetly check Abdiel's face. We can pretend to scratch our back or something
Fanart of Abdiel realizing she has feeling for onii-chan only after Sibella hooks her fangs into him when?
>>44362618
At the very least we should agree to escort her home or something.
Also let's try and set up a date with her before the halloween party - say that we're like her and want to meet again.
A warm smile when we say this would be good.
Maybe some more accidental flirting?
>>44362618
Loving where this is going.
So we should obviously agree to go on a date.
Maybe make a joke that it's nice to see she was right about how she takes the initiative?
>>44362733
That'd be depressing.
So, hope it doesn't happen.
It's why it's much better to just have her as a younger sister.
>>44362618
Swallow nervously.
"I'm flattered, miss Drac - er, Sibella. But let's not do anything too hasty, ok?"
Our heart is probably pounding. I say we leave for now, regroup and talk to her later.
"... How about I call you later? We'll see if we can meet up over the next few nights?"
I think she may be moving a little too fast for us.
>>44362859
She's asking us for a date.
She won't just immediately jump us and drag us to a bed or anything.
>>44362618
Oh can we mention that if she wants a date then it'd really be for the best for us to get her phone number or something like that?
I thought romancing Sibella was supposed to be hard, but we seem to be nailinggiggidythis one
>>44362906
Comes from getting an excellent early impression.
Besides, this is the first meeting, we've got dates and such to make sure she really decides to want a relationship.
>>44362878
>You think she wants to go out. To the movies. To dinner. To have sex. To suck your blood.
This kind of implies that things may get hot and heavy - though this may just all be in Anon's head at this point.
We should definitely go on a date with her, but we should remember that we are still a good catholic boy. Plus, Anon strikes me as the kind of guy who would want to take things slow in matters of love and sex.
>>44362618
Say we would love to see a movie with her sometime
Specifically a movie date, because when we get to the theater Quest Guy can do a "that's the concession stand I got a handfull of fat furry ass" memory thing to more easily transition to the holiday bootyslapping special
>>44362923
We're also allowed an exception by the Church, though.
But yeah I think jumping to sex right now is unlikely, just something he's thinking about since he's got a gorgeous woman flirting with him and saying she wants to be closer.
Way I see it, we should agree to have a date, instead of trying to nervous break it off now.
That might cause a negative reaction since I can't imagine she'd like such a reaction to revealing she is starting to feel something.
>>44362996
>But yeah I think jumping to sex right now is unlikely
I'm not so sure.
Remember, she's spent the last year with family studying. No social interaction whatsoever.
Such a young, hotblooded vampire can get a little...thirsty.
>>44362996
Agreed. Lets go with a yes on this one. Then we can get to know each other better.
As for his thoughts, to be fair I am pretty sure the romance novels he is reading tend to be first date=all the sex. So, this is only natural.
>>44362996
>she'd like such a response to revealing she is starting to feel something
>>44363047
Yeah, let's remember that's how this often goes.
>>44362712
>>44362754
>>44362827
>>44363047
>>44363092
You reply that you would love to take her out on a date.
"Fangtastic!" She purrs . "My schedule is sort of...not set in stone. And I don't have anything like a phone but...I'll pick you up...would sometime in the morning be alright, let's say in 3 days?"
THIS IS GREAT THIS IS GREAT THIS IS GREAT
THIS IS-
And your hunter senses kick in.
Hold on. She's said a a few things that you now realize are probably really, really important.
First, she called herself a kid. You were told that she was Dracula's youngest, but they also said that no one had a fixed number to her age.
...It may just be a hunch, but you know what Costilla says about human intuition...
...How old IS Sibella? If you're what she consider's a "kid" and you're in your twenties...
And then she said she's been "fighting and fighting and fighting all the sides of my family"
All the sides? What does that mean? Are there factions within the House of Dracula?
That could be big news...
And then she said she wants to pick you up for BREAKFAST?
As in MORNING?
Vampires sometimes wear these full bodied "sun armors" when they go out in the daytime. Maybe she's going to do something like that?
Or maybe not...
>>44362906It's going to get hard. You will have to balance love and duty
SHOULD WE CHECK ON ABDIEL YES OR NO? IT COULD LEAD TO AWKWARDNESS, BUT THEN AGAIN CHECKING ON HER MIGHT PREVENT FUTURE AWKWARDNESS. HARD TO TELL...
>>44362618
>Y-you too
>I mean, yes, sure, I'd love to cross your elders
(don't actually say that. No, seriously, don't.)
>I mean, yes, sure, I'd love to see more of you. I mean see you more. I mean more sea too. I mean... erm...
>>44363190
So on a scale of 1 to 10, how interested in Sibella right now?
And, what do you think, everyone, should we check on Abdiel?
I'm a little worried that if we do it could go badly...
>>44363190
>It's going to get hard. You will have to balance love and duty
Well hopefully we can succeed.
>>44363219
Thanks to the style points that'd probably come across as endearing and give her an ego boost.
>>44363190
As a rule I'd say we should keep alert, but exercise restraint when accompanying Sibella. Not only would it be rude to go on a rampage on event she invited us to, but she might be a good long-term source of intel if we don't alienate her (and she herself does not need to be neutralized).
However when it comes to having to deal with someone she cares for while being clearly past our or Vatican's tolerance...
In either case we'll need to have long talk with Abdiel about this.
I vote check on Abby, maybe reassure her that we'll talk at a more opportune time
>>44363190
>Say its fine, we can handle one date, right? Besides, what could go wrong?
>Tell her you'd love to talk more, be sure to look over at Abby so she know's we're ALSO talking to her.
>Tell Sibella that seeing her again would be "heavenly".
>>44363271
Well personally I intend for her to be more than just an intelligence source.
>>44363190
>In the morning? Will you be... alright?
>If yes, sure
We should definitely check on Abdiel, but perhaps in a more private setting...
>>44363305
This is probably the best way to broach that subject.
>>44363300
I'm obviously not opposed, but that angle could be used to justify not acting violently where we otherwise would have, since she would be catching the fallout.
>>44363190
Check on her
>>44362733
>>44362837
A POTENTIAL SCENE FROM THE ENDGAME (AND I STRESS POTENTIAL AS IN MY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN DEPENDING ON HOW YOU ANONS PLAY THE GAME):
>Abdiel floating in front of a cross inside an ornate cathedral all alone, head bowed in prayer
>"Please Lord...I didn't know. I didn't know that he would...grow distant with me. I didn't know all the time he spent with me he would one day rather spend with another.
> (voice breaking) I didn't know that I needed to say the words to him. I didn't even know what those words were. How could I have, the Father told me I was beyond such concepts.
>(Openly Crying) I know it is wrong of me...and wrong to the nature of my soul to feel jealousy, and abandonment, and humiliation, and anger. And Father God I know it is wrong of me to ask your favor for something as selfish as my own happiness as the expense of another....
>(Sobbing) But...Oh God...don't let me lose him. Don't let me lose him to HER.
>>44363378
Aw fuck
Aw fuuuuuuck
We must protect these smiles
But one is angelic and the other has fangs...
We gotta smooth things out with Abdiel when we fly
>>44363378
Fuuuuck. And the harem ending probably won't work out too well what with us being catholic and all.
>>44363378
>We're gonna have to choose
>>44363448
>>44363450
Don't worry about it guys.
Whoever we don't get with will find love and comfort in WQ Anon's harem
>>44363378And then Lord went and made you post this.Never doubt for one instant the efficacy of prayer.
>>44363378
"...What the? Did Abs have an angel boyfriend she never mentioned or something?"
>>44363305
>>44363329
>Check on her later
>>44363360
>>44363296
>>44363283
>Check on her now
You turn around and see Abdiel floating, slowly bobbing up and down and watching you with a calm, tired frown. Her hands are folded in front of her.
You are troubling her and she doesn't know how to approach it.
You aren't sure that even YOU know how to approach it.
But you nod and mouth "talk later."
She nods.
Returning to Sibella...
>>44363329
>>44363305
>In the morning? Will you be...alright?
Sibella's smile fades. "Ah...yeah. Yeah I'll be fine." She's broken eye contact with you.
"...I'm ah, well....I want to tell you something, but you're going to have to PROMISE me you won't ask questions about it, okay?"
IS THIS OKAY?
>>44363459
>W-Anon sees Abdiel
>MY OWN BELDANDY! THANK YOU BASED GOD!
>>44363190
>>44363305
>Sibella going out in the morning
Is she using SPF 1000 or has she found the Aja stone?
>>44363524
Yeah, it's okay, I mean the alternative is her not telling us right?
>>44363524
This is getting real heavy real fast, guys.
When it comes to relationships, if a girl starts sharing her drama with you immediately after she meets you, that is usually a red flag. I get the sinking feeling that Sibella and Anon are going to have a toxic relationship.Let's agree.
>>44363524
>W-Anon sees Abdiel
>MY OWN BELDANDY! THANK YOU BASED GOD!
Sibella Anon gets Sibella
Phanty Anon gets Phanty
Winnie Anon gets Winnie, along with all rejected girls; Catherine, White Fell and Abdiel, building his own lost and found harem of off-brand waifus.
>>44363524
>Totally okay, you can do-I mean say anything to me
>Winnienon continues to live the dream
Weeb mother fuck is living the life
>>44363524
>IS THIS OKAY?
Yes.We'll find out in some other way.
>>44363571
I really want W-Anon to be one of the chosen few who can see angels. It's also quite likely at P-Anon could see her too if she is at all related to ghosts.
>>44363571
Works for me.
>>44363524
Agree and maybe apologize for making her uncomfortable?
>>44363601
>God is a weeb
>Winnienon is the second coming
>>44363601
Angels are just shy ghosts.
>>44363524
>but you're going to have to PROMISE me you won't ask questions about it, okay?
Whenever people say that it's a guarantee that you'll have dozens of questions you want to ask about whatever they reveal.
It's so frustrating.
We promise, but we drag our feet doing it.
>>44363378
Jeez... well we need to make sure that doesn't happen, that's for damned certain.
Need to continue setting this up as a sibling bond more than anything else.
>>44363628
Don't think we should drag our feet.
>>44363524
"My lips are sealed."
>>44363816
Don't be silly. Be glad she didn't ask us to promise that we won't tell anyone (although even in such case Abby could still tell whatever)
>>44363378
Alas, the childhood friend curse strikes again.
>>44364089
Well and also how this is a Sibella focused Quest.
>>44364102
Regardless, Angels are not for lewds. Last time someone tried to lewd an angel two cities got turned into a lake of salt. Although admittedly that was without consent and on top of other grievances...
>>44364153
Agreed.
Angels are for being like a sibling.
>>44364102
I don't know, I think it'd be a nice change of pace to waifu the angel and stay good friends with Sibella. Makes these quests seem less predictable.
>>44364283
We can do that with one of the others, please not with this one.
It's so very rare to get Sibella stuff.
Is SQ dead?
>>44364581
He's coping with the fact that all his OC waifus that he designed specifically to compliment the Anons are all going to be cucked and end up with his joke weeb character.

"Alright." Sibella takes a long sip from her teacup. "....I am unharmed by the sun. I have been ever sense I was a child."
She holds a purple finger in front of her. "Now remember you PROMISED you wouldn't ask anymore about it!"
Abdiel touches your shoulder. "...No..." She urges. "...We can't leave it at that! That's too...too weird!"
DO WE OR DO WE NOT ASK FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HER SOLAR INVULNERABILITY?
>>44364581
Sorry about the wait!
>>44364622You know, I actually wouldn't mind that happening...but there's not going to be an "other girl" for ALL of the quests. Elsa Quest and Tanis Quest won't have one unless the players start summoning demons/creating tulpas specifically for that reason in Tanis Quest .
>>44364714
>Unharmed by the sun
That's interesting, but we don't need to press her on it.
We might ask Padre if he knows anything about Vamps that aren't hurt by sunlight later.
>>44364714
Just sit there with a stupid look, Like we don't believe her...
>I've seen plenty types of Vampires and the one thing they have in common is that they burst out in the sun.
>>44364714
Ask her about solar invulnerability indirectly.
Don't ask "why are you unharmed by sunlight"
Ask "what can you tell me about the Aztecs?"
>>44364747
Don't press her for more just yet, just thank her for the invitation, and the VIP pass... And say you can't wait.
The sun never really bothered her in the TV special, didn't it?
>>44364714
"Would you like to prove that?"
>>44364714
Well we can't very well pry now can we? She won't tell us and end up angry

Remember, he's not building a harem. He's building a "pack". You will NOT mess with WQAnin's family. If he doesn't go after you for wrongung his pack, the other five will!

I say we don't press her, ask Padre later and say what >>44364763 is saying, impressed/shocked that it is true.
>>44364714
>DO WE OR DO WE NOT ASK FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HER SOLAR INVULNERABILITY?
We most certainly will not ask.
We will observe, watch and learn.
We will also open our mouth a few times but thinking better of it every time and closing it again.

You reassuring pat Abdiels' rich sunrise-red colored hair.
"Trust Me. I know what I'm doing....:
Abdiel understands that you're saying this to both of them in two different ways.
"...I trust you, my sword." She replies with only slight hesitation. "God is with you..." She adds more for her own sake than for your own.
You think it's going to get interesting when you finally get back to HQ. You quickly run through some effective wing-holds in your mind...
Turning your attention back to Sibella you finish your phrase. "...when I make a promise. If you don't want to talk about it I'm not going to push you."
"Are you sure your old men won't mind?" Sibella remarks impressed, her lips curling into a playful smile.
"Let them mind about me, not you."
"Thank you Anon. Again. I can't believe I'm this happy that I finally talked to the special investigator tracking me for a year!"
>What do you know about the Aztecs?
"Heh! All the more reason for you to talk to my ghoul-friend Tanis. She knows about gods from cultures you've never heard of. And she talks to them."
"Oh. I can see why they wouldn't have liked us talking to her then." Abdiel says. "This Tanis is apparently one of those that buys into the delusions of poor lost souls that think they're pagan deities. We wouldn't have gotten much besides confusion out of her."
Sibella stares at you happily. And you stare back happily. Between the two of you silence passes. Someone gets up and leaves the pizza parlor. Someone gets in an argument with Lucky over ingredients. Benny calls the Soul Egdge machine a "cheating son of a bitch".
It all passes over the both of you like water. You become comfortably lost in eahc other's gazes.
And Abdiel stares. And worries. And tries to understand.
"....Oh damn." Sibella says suddenly frowning. "Damn damn damn...

Wait--so this is a quest based on the cast of that goofy Ghoul School Scooby-Doo movie? Except now they're older? Weren't you guys on /co/ first--an offshoot of those spooky threads back in October?
And what the hell happened to Scoob and the crew?

Yes.
>And what the hell happened to Scoob and the crew?
Your guess is as good as ours. All we found were Shaggy's alternate red shirt and Scooby, who had been shocked so badly he could no longer speak.
>>44365271
Pack with benefits as in the alpha gets all the "benefits" at will.
Meaning Winnie gets to have her way with any of the reject waifus at will. Also with Anon, being the second to last in the pack hierarchy (White Fell is forever the Omega)
>>44365113

Sibella stares hard at the table. She pushes herself back into her seat and straightens up.
"...I'm sorry about this anon, I guess you kind of...surprised me, and I started putting it off because I just...didn't expect to have fun here...But I'm about to ask you something, and it's going to make me look like a real manipulative bitch. And I'm sorry."
"Anon, be careful..." Abdiel says warily taking a hold of your halo. "You know vampires are tricky!"
"There are two things I wanted to ask you about. Before meeting you I assumed they would end with me telling you not to get in my way and us exchanging threats instead of small talk..."
She takes a big sigh. Her tall body shakes like a willow tree with her long hair and robe like dress. "...Enough stalling. The first thing is about my friend. Winnie, the werewolf? I learned that while I was away that...well, you know how werewolves like to fight, and Winnie was always such a bellicose tomboy."
Sibella's blue eyes turn hard and threatening. "Well, she was challenged to a fight by a very despicable and very wicked woman. It was a fight over honor, and Winnie lost. Badly. And I don't pretend to understand the byzantine complexes of werewolf dueling codes... but the way that...BITCH...hurt and humiliated Winnie, my FRIEND..."
Her grip on the table strengthens. You can hear it warping.
"...nothing as insubstantial as written laws are going to protect her."
She stares at you intensely and coldly. Her eyes are blue frost.
"...That's the first thing. I'm going to avenge my friend. I won't kill her. I won't cripple her. But I will drink her blood."
Abdiel stares at Sibella taking every word in with measured consideration. She nods along as she grows engrossed with Sibella's story even though she knows Sibella cannot see or hear her.
"...First Anon, tell Sibella that we are sorry for her friend..." Abdiel says kindly with a voice like fresh, gently sunlight.
Woah. She actually said her name!
-cont
>>44365425
>cont
Abdiel hovers formally above you. She is fully in her role as divine arbitrator. She stares down with calm, solemn eyes and passes judgement.
"...And second, I believe that she should leave matters of vengeance for us to doll out. That is our divinely appointed task. Assure Sibella that we will investigate this matter and do what we can to assure justice prevails...This is what I wish, my sword."
It sounds pretty binding, but you have a history of...not doing what Abby says.
WHAT DO WE TELL SIBELLA ABOUT HER DESIRE FOR VAMPIRE ON WENDIGO REVENGE?
>>44365425
>Sibella's thirst for blood and revenge lead her to White Fell after the events of Winnie Quest
>Sibella pounces on White Fell, opening her mouth and baring her fangs
>Lesdigo is even thirstier
>Instead of fighting her off she starts making out with Sibella
>Sibella likes it
>More than she likes Anon
>Anon gets cucked by White Fell
And so the cycle is complete.
>>44365243
Oh boy, are you ever in for a ride.
If the hovering LEWD discussions haven't totally turned you off there is an archive I can give you.
I promise you it isn't all romance and lewds. There's also drama and comedy and DEEPEST LORE.
I've probably designed the weirdest setting for any tg quest.
>>44365482
>WHAT DO WE TELL SIBELLA ABOUT HER DESIRE FOR VAMPIRE ON WENDIGO REVENGE?
WE ARE THE LAW.
Or at least Abby says we are. I'm guessing the grievance between the beasts will be more complex than just "she fucked her up cause she's evil", but I'm pretty sure Investigating is right there in our job description and if we do it along with Sibyl we can do our primary mission alongside with this target of opportunity.
tl;dr do exactly as Abby said.
>>44365482
It might be a good idea to offer to make common cause, then?
I don't think Sibella's going to be all that eager to just let someone else deal with this, but having some backup might make it more palatable?
And, of course, we should definitely say we're sorry about her friend.
>>44365482
>"Sibella... I won't pretend to understand everything that happened. My friends are few and revenge isn't really something I involve myself in. Blood for blood, though... That's a dangerous cycle. Would you accept, instead, my full assurance that I will personally investigate the matter and see to it that justice is served? Please? I know it doesn't sound like much, but I very much don't want for Rome to consider you dangerous."
Pls no actualy waifu wars, Sibella
>>44365397
You kidding? Anon is going to become a man. Watch him rise into prominence through charisma and Winnies traning!
>>44365425
Oh god...MISSUNDERSTANDINGS AHOY! THIS WILL END IN TEARS! ONE DOES NOT FUCK WITH THE SISTERHOOD!
>>44365520
And we love it for it. Or at least I do. It is so much more than waifu/fanficquest!
>>44365482
That said, lets do as Abby suggests.
>>44365482
If only we didn't have to keep the knowledge of Winnie Quest separate from SQ Anon's knowledge. Then we could tell her how adequately humiliated White Fell has been.
Anyway, we say we're sorry for her friend.
Then, let's ask how she learned about what happened to Winnie. If she has spent the past year out of town, then she had to have learned from it indirectly.
If we can make her doubt the validity of her info about what happened, then we can persuade her to investigate the matter further before she does anything rash. Hopefully in her investigations she will learn about how White Fell is being sufficiently humiliated as we speak, and has made up with Winnie.
>>44365525
I do want to go along with Sibella, but I don't think it's exactly what Abby said.
I think she wants us to do it just on our own, something I'd prefer not to happen.
>>44365482
Do as Abby says, first and foremost... but add a little bit more.
>Tell her that it would be best if we were the ones looking into the situation. A situation where she gets involved might cause some undue friction between her family and the werewolve's family(pack?)
>In layman's, we should go in as an unbiased party to root out the details.
>>44365614
Oh. I guess we'll end up doing something almost, but not quite and possibly against interest of what Abby said then.
Either way, we're making this our business.
>>44365425
We have the hunter code to uphold - we can't let a vampire go on a revenge spree, even if she is a pretty vampire.
"Sibella, I like you a lot, but I'm still a special investigator. You have to understand there's no way I can go along with that."
>>44365658
Then go with this.
>>44365525
>>44365533
>>44365547
>>44365587
>>44365588
>Listen to Abby
>We're sorry about your friend.
"...I am to..." Sibella says sadly. "I can't help but think that if I wasn't gone for so long I could have...done something. But now its too late. But not too late for revenge..."
>>44365547
HOW MUCH OF THIS DO YOU WANT TO TELL SIBELLA?
>>44365658
>>44365683
>>44365668
You tell Sibella that you want her to let you investigate this incident as an impartial party. You feel that her getting involved might fan the flames of tension and lead to violence spilling over.
>>44365683
>Sibella, I like you a lot, but I'm still a special investigator, You have to understand there's no way I can go along with that.
"...Okay. I didn't think it was going to be this hard. For these reasons." She locks eyes with you. Challenging you . Probing you for weakness.
How you wish she would look on you with her previous softness!
"I don't see why you feel the need to intercede in my own private affairs." She says icily.
"You live a life built on taking revenge. How is what I'm going to do any different from what you do every day? I've told you what I'm doing so that there can be no misunderstanding."
Sibella crosses her lissome arms over her chest and glares. "I don't think you would like it if I told you that the next time you find a maniac vampire that you should come tell me first and let me take care of him?"
"Oh Sibella..." Abby says placing an intangible hand on her cheek. She stares into her blue eyes and reads her down to the soul.
"We are experts in these matters while you have never hurt another living thing. For all your bravado you are a child when it comes to violence and could make mistakes..."
Let it never be said that Abby isn't an angel. She has a strong, instinctive desire to be nurturing and protective .
She just shows it in a rather different way when it comes to you.
WHAT DO WE TELL SIBELLA?
DO WE TRY TO INVOLVE HER IN INVESTIGATING?
>>44365872
>INVOLVE HER. WE REVENGE BUDDIES NOW. BEST CHANCE FOR CUDDLES AND HAND-HOLDING.

>Sibella and SQ-anon go to get revenge on white fell
>WQ-anon having grown attached defends her
>battle of the anons with Winnie trying to mediate
>>44365872
Counter her threat, Peter Cushing syle.
"You have to understand Sibella. You will only bring more trouble by going on this crusade. Your family won't like it, the werewolf's won't, and my higher-ups certainly won't either. I'm offering to help with this only because I care about you... and I don't want you screwing yourself over."
If she doesn't budge... plead that you at least accompany her. This way you can at least hope to moderate her.
>>44365872
"We have to be able to come to some sort of compromise, please Sibella I don't want this to result in something irrational occurring"
>Webm related
>>44365872
Sigh and lean back in the chair. Talking to her about laws or the Vatican's jurisdiction won't get you anywhere.
"Well, I imagine that I won't be able to stop you. But now that I know, I'd get really chewed out by the old men if something goes wrong, or the wrong people get hurt."
Match her gaze with conviction.
"When you go after this Wendigo, I want to come along. I won't stop your revenge, but I can at least make sure no one else gets gets involved. That work as a compromise?"
>>44365872
Well, I'm glad you told me about your plan because I might be able to help you, especially if this werewolf is as wicked as you say.
You can elude me now, I'm sure, but chances are high that on this quest of revenge you've embarked I and my order will get involved sooner or later and things will be much worse for everyone involved, especially to the unfortunate sod caught in the crossfire.

"I find her, I beat her up,I drink her blood. It's the simplest thing in the world!"
You meet her gaze.
...Her eyes dart away.
"I want to come along. I won't stop your revenge, but I can at least make sure no one else gets involved. That work as a compromise?"
Abdiel nods along happily as you speak...until you get to the part about teaming up. Then she stumbles in the air and accidentally kicks you in the head.
You make sure to only blink. You've been kicked by her before, you know how to take it.
The second kick isn't an accident.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She hisses at you. "SHE"S NOT APPROVED BY THE CHURCH AND YOU WANT TO WORK WITH HER?"
She sort of has a point. Even Benny had to go through a vetting process.
Sibella nervously winds a strand of her long hair around one of her fingers. She stares down at the table deeply considering what you just said.
"Okay." She says finally. "I've been trying to get humans and vampires to work closer together. And this could be a step in that direction. On one condition though! The next time you go after a vampire, I want you to come along."
"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Abdiel says waving her arms almost as fast as she's beating her wings. "NO NO NO NO NO! ANON, BE REASONABLE!"
DO WE AGREE WITH SIBELLA?
DO WE IGNORE ABBY? WHISPER HER SOMETHING? HIT HER BACK?
>>44366278
>The next time you go after a vampire, I want to come along.
I should have asked for a new keyboard this Christmas. One that can read my mind.
>>44366278

Also, find a way to get Abby to touch the ground afterwards as payback
>>44366278
>Ask her why she'd want to see what we do. She has to know it isn't pretty. Hell, even WE don't like doing it!
>Tell Abby it's the best way to foster positive relations between vampires and the church.
>>44366011
I'm going to second this. Seems like the most sensible thing to do
>>44366278
Do what >>44366375 says regarding asking Sibella, and if it seems reasonable, I say we then agree to a deal. Besides, technically speaking, we are to keep watch of her, it's a legal loophole, I'm sure the church will understand...
Abby might not though, which means we are most definitely getting our asses dropped...lets just hope it's something soft like a hay bail, mud puddle or the ocean, and not, you know those jagged rocks she was joking about earlier.
>>44366375
Doesn't she want to do this to try and make vampires and humans work closer?
>>44366278
>The next time you go after a vampire, I want you to come along
"That may not be up to me, Sibella. I don't really get to call the shots on who comes on hunts. The best I can do is ask for permission."
Dart our eyes over the Abby for sec for the next part.
"Sibella, I still really wish you'd reconsider this revenge business... at least until you made sure you got all the facts. But, if I can't stop you, then it's my duty to make sure the fight stays contained."
"I'll do everything I can to bring you on my next hunt... but even if I can't I'm still going with you when you hunt the Wendigo."
>>44366011
I think this could still apply here.
>>44366278
Ask her to explain further. Why does she want to come along? What does she intend to do during the hunt? Interfere?
>>44366278
>Do you even know what you're asking me? My job is not something personal.
>I would actually like it if it was possible to resolve problems we deal with in a peaceful manner. If you could accomplish that, it would be great.
>If it were up to me alone, I'd agree without hesitation. As it is, I can't answer with authority. I could agree on the spot but it would be a lie. You don't want a lie.
>>44366422
Yeah, but there's that and then theres following a church hunter tracking and killing one of your own kind-gone-mad
>>44366461
If she interferes with a hunt, she becomes another target.
So einfach ist das.
>>44366375
>Why she'd want to see what we do
"It's something a lot of vampires-my "old men"-like to pretend doesn't happen. Like I said before, we aren't social animals. We like our solitude and independence. It's not uncommon for us to simply stop talking about someone who goes full bloodlust and leave him or her for you and the Church to deal with. I believe that we need to start acting less like a collection of persons and more like a people. I want to be apart of this, as ugly as it is, because I feel that it is my responsibility and duty as a vampire, just like I believe you do this because you feel that it is your own responsibility and duty."
>>44366415
>>44366375
You accept, and tell Abby that this is a great way to foster better relations between the Church and vampires and that you WERE told to keep watch over her.
Abby scolds you with her glowing fists planted on her white-robed hips. "Isn't that just like anon to play word games with our sacred mission? Fine then, but YOU'RE the one whose going to have to explain all this to Father Costilla!"
>>44366329
The next time you play "Jacob and the Angel" (which given how miffed she is at you will probably be real soon) with her be sure to ambush her with a running tackle. You'd probably will ground you this way. Otherwise she'll anchor the both of you in the air where she'll have an advantage. You know this from experience.
>>44366427
>It's not always up to me when and where and who I hunt. But I'll do my best to bring you if you really want to go.
"I understand. All I'm asking is that you try."
>>44366461
>>44366475
>Sibella, are you sure what you're asking here? I kill vampires. I. Kill. Them. If I'm out in the field and I see the vampire is bloodlusted I do not hesitate (well, okay, sometimes you do with Lucy but she doesn't have to know that...). When we're killing a vampire you want to, what, deliver the killing blow with your own hands? Why?"
-cont
>>44366565
Oh boy, wonder what she'll say...
>>44366565
>cont
Sibella takes a deep breathe and stares you down with steady, renewed conviction.
She speaks slowly, with measured purpose. She speaks almost regally."If it comes to killing...then I will kill. We are agreed that it is a thing that must be done. Its a terrible thing, a horrible thing, but it must. be. done. As..." She pauses, choosing her words.
"...As the daughter of Dracula it is my duty to show that vampires can do the dirty work that we have long delegated for humans to perform. Do not doubt my will in this."
DO WE MOVE TO THE 2nd AND FINAL THING SHE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT?
DO WE HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT BEING HUNTING BUDDIES?

>But tell her that we admire her conviction.
>>44366631

What is the 2nd thing?
>>44366631
Move on
>>44366631
Yeah, I say we move on to the second thing.
Maybe also look impressed at the conviction she's showing or something?
I dunno.

If you haven't been lurking, you should check up the other threads. We've turned it around into something interesting and the streams are starting to cross.

Getting her to tap out and bless you gives you bonus style points!
And your scuffles with Abby usually end with the two of you exhausted relaxing in her wings like super-comfortable blankets while you watch TV.
She's very vain about her wings, but she never minds you snuggling and napping in them.

You have no idea how much I love that concept on any winged human. That's adorable!Next you're going to tell me she wraps herself up in her own wings to sleep at night. Which is both adorable, and slightly heartbreaking
>>44366812
Wait a second.
How can anon nap in Abby's wings if she refuses to set foot, literally, on any surface?
Or is her angel autism only triggered by floors and soil?
>>44366915
Simple, couches and armrests don't count. Unles she just floats there like a super comfy, tsundere hammock, which works too.
>>44366946
Makes sense, i guess.
But i still will subscribe to my idea that after who knows how many time has passed since she used her feet, they've become hyper-sensitive.
And that her angel autism is actually arousal she is trying to conceal.
>>44367005
Lewd...
>>44366946
Seriously. We should consider asking some drawfriends for some art. We have come up with some really neat ideas and come across some really unique story moments I'd like to see drawn.
>>44366812
>cont
"Fortunately anon, the second thing I need to ask you isn't as...personally involving as me hunting down that werewolf that hurt my friend. But on the other hand I am almost certain it is more dire. Vampires have been disappearing. Normally this isn't too terribly rare, you saw that I had to take a long and mysterious vacation for traditional reasons. Vampires are long lived. Some of us might actually be immortal. Sometimes a vampire gets tired of the way they live and cuts all ties and tries to start over somewhere new and someone new."
"But I've observed a rather disturbing pattern, There have been vampires that talk about a new kind of alchemy that can create their soul. Now there are always cruel vampires looking to con gullible vampires with promises of "lost alchemy"-an elixer that stops cravings for blood, a talsiman that can turn one into a human, things like that. But I have never heard of someone trying to create their own soul."
"So a vampire, usually one with a history of self loathing, would suddenly enter social gatherings and brag about creating their own soul, out of wax and magic like some sort of golem. They claimed vampires do not have souls, and you can imagine how quickly this got them ignored. But when our backs turned on them they vanished, never to be heard from again."
"My "old men" think its disgraceful that I'm spending so much time investigating the lives of "unmentionables". I haven't made much progress investigating. But I have discovered one clue besides the continued mentioning of souls made out of wax...a name of a demon from the Ars Goetia. Andromalius. One of the four vampires that have vanished mentioned being protected by Andromalius."

>And your scuffles with Abby usually end with the two of you exhausted relaxing in her wings like super-comfortable blankets while you watch TV.
>She's very vain about her wings, but she never minds you snuggling and napping in them.
That's disgustingly cute. Stop making me want a relationship with Angel dammit!
>>44367026
It is like you don't want to turn our proud tsundere guardian angel's brain into a slut pudding by just giving her a foot massage. What are you? Straight?Ahegao included

Oh boy, that sure is familiar!

There is a part of me that truly loves that despite how much the sisterhood cares for each other. They sure are going to get in each others way indirectly.

"TELL HER NOTHING!" Abdiel yells. "WHO KNOWS WHO SHE TALKS TO!" She flaps her arms in front of your face. Her red hair tosses from side to side as she shakes her head in an emphatic NO NO NO."
WHAT DO WE TELL SIBELLA, IF ANYTHING, ABOUT ELIOT'S WAX STATUE AND THE DEMONIC AURA AROUND IT?
>>44366862
It's more like the Oz books when the characters made out of inanimate material stay up the whole night while their fleshy friends sleep. Abby doesn't need sleep, and she stares watchful and attentive by your bed as you sleep. She's your guardian angel, remember? Often she keeps herself amused by turning on one of the Saints and chatting. She watches movies or reads a book with them, their ectoplasma reserves in their E-tools respond to her thoughts and can push buttons and turn pages for her.
She often curls up in her wings while she's having late-night saint hangouts. Sometimes you've waken up in the middle of the night to see the light of a saint's ectoplasma shining from beneath her wings which she's put over herself almost like a pillow fort.
>>44366915
>>44366946
>>44367064
That's what she does. You chill with her on levitating super-comfy blanket wings.
You can even nap on them without fear thanks to that evolutionary thing our ape ancestors had that prevents them from rolling off trees they sleep in. Evolution in the service of God!
>>44367005
>>44367026
>>44367118
She's barefoot, Winnie's barefoot, White Fell's barefoot. I think the guys with the feet fetish are well and taken care of.Although if the majority of anons want her feet to be super sensitive, who am I to argue?
>>44367174
Just like real sisters!
>>44367345
Is Sibella ever gonna be barefoot.
>>44367345
So, ok.
What do we do?
I suggest we mention that we do have some info, that we need to confirm before we do too much else.

Oh, if Andromalius gets you nervous you haven't seen anything yet.Not giving names yet, but you aren't just going to be fighting vampires in this quest. You got a vampire wizard, and he's going all out. You got demons. Weird demons. Insane Bambi with a burning tail that can summon storms. A cloud filled with horn noises and lights. A twisted weapons merchant in the shape of a dove.
Wow, even at Christmas we have high-20s posters.
>>44367357
She's capable of helping you throw down in the inevitable slew of battles you go through.
Which means she's capable of taking clothing damage.
>>44367369

DO WE ASK SIBELLA TO HOLD ON A SECOND WHILE WE CONTACT THE PADRE?
>>44367345
>well and taken care ofHairy girls are a turn off for me anyway

What would we ask the padre, specifically?
>>44367345
Hint that we may have a lead, but have nothing substantial.
>>44367345
>Tell Sibella
>>44367369
I think you have the right idea. We have suspicions. But we don't have the sureity that it is what it is.
>>44367345
>Abby and wings
Abby still is adorable. She really is a sister in so many ways.
>Sensativity
While I agree that she should be sensative, not in a sexual way. I wonder if her willingness to not touch ground is actually because she has Terraphobia. In addition to not touching ground.
>>44367345
Voting for sensitive feet.Preferably lewd
>>44367490
>Abby still is adorable. She really is a sister in so many ways.
This.

And also this.

>We wake up three days later with a broken jaw and a crooked halo, but a nicely written apology card
>>44367556
Why not? Are you averse to drama?
Besides, it is not like we have to end in actual lewd for that to happen. Just romancing the purple bloodsucker should be enough
>>44367587
Will she be acting weird, jumpy and a little bit meekly afterwards?Will there also be blushing the color of her angelic hair?
>>44367592
I'm averse to this sort of drama.
>>44367625She touches her feet to the earth when she thinks no-one is watching afterwards
But seriously what specifically would we tell the padre to make sure he'd give us info over the phone?
>>44367683
Why do we get lewd when we get bored, fellow lewd anon?
>>44367345
if we blab about the statue we are gonna get ripped apart by padre.
I say we hold onto that info until after we get to know her more. We're a church agent, not an open book for all to read
>>44367490

>>44367445
You tell Sibella that you might have something for her--
---and you hear Abby wind up a haymaker behind you. "RAAHHH! WHY ARE YOU SO FOOLISH AROUND HER?"
--And she stops in mid throw as you mention that you really need to contact your superior before discussing the matter further.
"Anon, when it is said that the one true Path is straight and narrow they were not talking about a rollercoaster!" Abdiel scolds.
You call to Benny and tell him to get Costilla on the phone. He tells you that he's six dollars in already and he's not stopping until he kills Inferno.
So that means you got to make the call...
...which is going to have to wait because several trucks just pulled up outside the pizza parlor and armored men are stepping outside...
...this looks like a problem...

There's no guarantee it's going to end up like that. It all depends on the anons. Maybe we'll convince Abby its best to be our sister. Maybe we have a change of plans and choose her over Sibella.
>>44367706
The call is on hold for now, but I imagine you could either try your best to explain -everything- that's just gone down with Sibella or you could schedule a time he could meet Sibella face to face and you could all discuss what to do.
If you don't want to say anything in front of Sibella you could just excuse yourself.
>>44367706
>I've found our mar-Eh, Sibella. I believe she is clear but i need to investigate more. Also, she seems to have intel on our new lead, the efigy thing of the plant alchemist. I am bringing her over
>>44367731
>You call to Benny and tell him to get Costilla on the phone. He tells you that he's six dollars in already and he's not stopping until he kills Inferno.
I would complain... but man, 6 dollars?
Yeah, dude deserves to beat that asshole.
So, mention that we have a new source of info and what the padre would consider having us share in exchange for that?
>>44367731
After we select our Saint, we should definitely throw a pizza at Benny's head so he can help cover our ass.
>>44367731
Which one would be least likely to do anything bad to the pizzeria?
>>44367731
We need to keep cool in the flames of danger. We need Florian.
>>44367731
Fuck son, she's the goof, now she gets to see battle mode. Wonder what she'll think of us then
We do still have 1 style point left?
We might want to consider using that so we do good here, depending on what the enemies are specifically capable of.
>>44367794
Is he still in his bomb suit?
Because if not... he can't really help out much.
>>44367713
Because we're broken men?
>>44367731
>Blindy Saint-Who's-Name-I-Forgot
>>44367801
i vote for fire bro
>>44367812
Are we allowed to use the style we stored in battle? I thought we had to earn those as we fight, and any we didn't use went to the bank afterwards.
>>44367731
Lets go with Florian. No need to wreck the building with Beatrix, and we can hold on Lucy for now. We need to test all of our saints.
>>44367797
the blind saint is honestly the best in nearly every battle situation. Tremor Girl will break the place and Fire Dude will burn the pizza.
>>44367731
"Hey Benny? Looks like you might want to grab your balls instead of the joystick anyway."
>FUCK YOUR TOWERS!
said the saint whose name I forget.
>>44367857
So let's go with Lucy then?
>>44367857
Can't Florian also extinguish flames at will?
In that case say
>I AM ON A MISSION FROM GOD!
And conjure a pair of flame wings plus a holy spirit type halo for intimidation
>>44367833
>>44367801
You knw he doesn't produce fire, right? Only controls it?
>>44367906
We are on a pizzeria, anon.
If they use propane ovens then we are covered for fire
>>44367906
How much would that help us here?
>>44367906
Wait what, so we need to have a lighter on hand to use him?
>>44367882
Alright fine changing from this to Florian.
But if he isn't helpful here, SQ, I think you're gonna need to rebalance the saints or something to make the other two better, because otherwise we'll only be using Lucy.
>>44367962
Pretty much.
>>44367941
Like, none at all.
Lucy actually makes us better at combat.
>>44367973
That can't be the case, though... right?
Surely the other two would be able to help somehow, right?
Otherwise, we'd never end up using them.
>>44367973
Who said we are gonna fight head on?
We can use the fire from the ovens to cover our retreat while we escape through the backdoor with our friends
>>44367797
Florian (because you can tell the fire what not to burn) and Lucy are safe bets.
Barbara might knock down a wall or two.
>>44367812
Stored style points cannot be spent in later battles. This is to prevent getting a chest of them and then cheesing through a boss battle. In a fight, think of it as a combo meter.
STYLE SYSTEM NOTE:
In battle you can spend 1-5 points to increase the potency of an attack (before rolling). You can also spend a point to preemptively make a roll "safe" and negate it if its bad.
You can spend 2 Style points to upgrade a roll to the next highest level (before rolling). Rolls that upgrade to VERY GOOD this way do not generate a Style Point.
You can also spend style points AFTER failing a roll to REBOUND and counter attack without damage. The number required depends on the severity of the attack.
So in short, with Style Points you can do four things:
CHARGE AN ATTACK
MAKE A ROLL "SAFE"
UPGRADE A ROLL
REBOUND AFTER A FAILURE
QUIRKS:
-2 to ambush attempts to to avoid stuff falling on our heads.
+3 to using ranged attacks. Can make any trick shot, regardless of the target's size or distance, rolling poorly does not miss but delivers a glancing blow.

>Can Florian create fire?
He actually can by combusting some of his own ectoplasma to sheathe the E-tool blade in a wreathe of fire.
Think the fire whip from Castlevania.
Normally when you turn him on you also have him set yourself on fire. Because fire armor is useful.
Remember, you actually have to TALK to the fire to get it to obey you.
Sometimes you have to yell at it. The fire is rather mischievous.
>>44368004
Barb turns you into the Shocker from Spider-Man.
Florian turns you into Pyro from X-men and also covers your E-Tool in a wreathe of fire.
Lucy turns you into Daredevil
>>44368011
Eh, changing back from Florian to Lucy then.
>>44368011
>We have to talk to the fire
>We have to yell at the fire
>To get it to obey by sheer force of will
We hotblooded shounen hero now
Vote for Florian bro.
Are there any achievements for the other saints or just for Lucy?
>>44368011
We can still use ranged attacks with Florian, right?
Because otherwise it seems like a bad idea given our quirk.
>>44368054
>>44368054
awww hell yeah
>>44367812
>Is he still in his bomb suit?
The men in the trucks kick down the door and bust through the windows. They're covered head to toe in thick metal armor. They look like knights made out of a scrapyard. Some have spikes, some have round helmets, some square. Some have painted symbols of skulls and crossbones, some don't. They are only uniformed by being dressed in armor.
And by carrying the same machine guns.
They wear blocky masks that make them look robotic, and you think for a moment they might be CHARLIE-version military drones until they start talking.
THIS IS A COUP ON THE HOUSE OF DRACULA!
THE HOUSE OF DRACULA DEVOURS ITSELF!
THE HOUSE OF DRACULA COLLAPSES!
They scream this and other cryptic nonsense about the House of Dracula as their boots crunch over the broken glass of the pizzeria window.
You glance over to the Soul Edge machine and don't see Benny. Good. He's probably gotten out back and gone for the armor in his Bomber-mobile.
Or if we're unlucky he picked a really, really bad time to go to the bathroom.
The customers scream. Some take out their cell phones. One of the metal soldiers grabs a cell phone and yells THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF DRACULA into it before slamming it back on the table.
Sibella calmly sips her tea.
You see eight. No telling how many more are outside. No telling what's under the armor, human, vampire, werewolf, ghost-superhuman. Who knows.
>>44368091
You can used ranged attacks with all the saints. Lucy's are just plain blasts of ecto energy. Florian's are fire balls. Barb's are shockwaves.
>>44368075
Lucy's is the only one "active" so far because her problem is obvious at the start.
There are achievements for the two other saints, but you have to interact with them first to "unlock" the hint to getting them.
I WILL NOW TRY TO COUNT UP THE SAINT VOTES...
>>44368196
So us and Sibella vs 8 maniacs.
We need to take 4 each, unless we're lucky and Benny manages to quickly put on his bomb suit.
>>44368196
>You can used ranged attacks with all the saints. Lucy's are just plain blasts of ecto energy. Florian's are fire balls. Barb's are shockwaves.
Ah, well, alright then.
That's good, means we can still get +2 to rolls there.
>>44368196
Fucking Benny. If he were around I'd ask him to evacuate the civilians.
Also, QG, I have a question about openly using our powers in public. Do we have like, sanctions from the local authorities to go nuts? I know Ginger Detective is Pro-Vigilante, but, how nuts can we go here?
>>44368306
All of our weapons are a-OK!
>>44368196
I hope we go human torch and singe these guys - though we need to keep one alive as a hostage so we can pump him for info.

You switch on Florian.
"Hail and well met Anon!" Florian greets you cheerfully. "Where's the fire, my fellow brother in arms?"
You are filled with COURAGE and VIGOR!
Your THOUGHTS are now similar to the BOMBASTIC style of Jack "The King" Kirby!
The METAL MERCENARIES draw their weapons on you and the beautiful Sibella!
But Sibella does not flinch! She does not fear! She cooly sips from her teacup as if in disdain of the METAL MERCENARIES!
DO WE AWAIT AND SEE IF WHAT HAPPENS?
DO WE GO AHEAD AND STRIKE?
DO WE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE ENEMY?
>>44368306
Feel free murder the fuck out of these guys. Superheroes, even violent ones, are a thing in this universe and these guys kicked the door and windows down and started yelling and waving machine guns.
You're encouraged to not kill if you can help it, but really, no one will miss these guys.
And I think this might be helpful:
MINIONS: METAL MERCENARIES
What lies under the armor? As far as you can tell these are humans though, and you can PULL YOUR PUNCHES by a 1, 2, or 3 in order to lower the odds of your attacks killing them. Or you can just go all out and let them worry about staying alive. The choice is yours.
>>44368390
Go all out. They're armor will make them difficult to kill in any case, and there are civilians around, we don't want to risk them getting hurt for the sake of some minions.
>>44368390
>Shoot the guns out of their hands with fireballs

>>44368390
>DO WE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE ENEMY?
"Surrender now, or die!"
Attack anyway
>>44368390
>Wait for Sibella?
Yes
In the meantime
>Where fire?
We can probably talk to Abby in the chaos now.
"Pretty sure it's dead ahead. Abby, you ready?"
>>44368390
yell a boast to inspire fear into our enemies.
"Halt, VILLAINS! I shall not allow you to bring harm to anyone here! You face a holy warrior tonight, knaves, and I shall cleanse your sins with the flame of the LORD!"
Bathe ourselves in flame.
"YIELD AND I SHALL SHOW THEE MERCY!"
I would like to spend a style point to freak them out if thats okay with ya'll.
>>44368447
We can't, tho
>>44368465
well, if we're still just talking it is technically a social situation.
>>44368390
Pulling our punches would also increase the odds of us fucking up, wouldn't it?
Not sure I wanna do that in a fight to the death.
>>44368474
I believe we entered combat the moment we pullet out our saint rod
>>44368447
>>44368465
You can still roll
1D20
to intimidate. Because they were coming for Sibella. They did not expect to run into you.
