Greetings Watcher , Greetings Readers, I am the caretaker. My role here is two hold; to provide an assistance to the drifting souls and to narrate his or her ordeal throughout the twenty realms of the ladies.Should you have any question, Shy not, ask away.
_________________________________
And so it was decided, for another drifting spirit to wind up in the Watcher's domain where twenty powerful ladies were banished here. Strong they were to the world of man. The man feared the strange, the unknown,
Mistakes happen, it wasn't the first time the caretaker saw this scene; this place, the purgatory, was supposed to temporary house a lady before the watcher would lock her in a realm of her own. The purgatory is left to rot after being decommissioned by the watcher for the lack of new arrivals. Still, drifting souls always find its way into this crumbling ruin. Of all the watcher's agents, The informant and The Caretaker were bound to this place to the end of times.
[Cont.]
The caretaker found no need to describe himself but it wasn't his decision; Unnaturally tall and pale, he hid most of his features under a ragged yellow robe, he was obviously dead long ago courtesy to the glaring hole inside his cold helm but his body was to serve the watcher. A cursed bronze sword empowered the caretaker with unnatural strength.
The Caretaker silently stared at the drifting soul waiting for it to stand up, he saw....

You saw a husk of a man wielding a bronze sword in a dead hall filled with naught but still air and various rubble entangled with cobwebs.
"I do not wish to harm you, i am here to guide you in your plight." said the faceless figure, you burnished your rifle, this wasn't your destination, something went wrong in your interstellar guiding system.
>Say something to him.
>Shoot him [Single shot -10 SSS]
>Shoot him [Burst -20 SSS]
>Establish a contact with your ship [-100 SSS]

"who are you, where are we and when are we?"
>>45833428
You sent a signal but your suit couldn't detect your ship, it couldn't detect anything familiar in fact.
"Whatever you are doing, it is useless," said the faceless figure "You are trapped here in the Watcher's domain, the only way out is to find a Lady to pledge to, empower your pledged lady with the essences of the other ones so she can be powerful enough to escape. I can take you to one lady only for the pledge."
"I need answers first." you demanded, this was too odd to interrupt, you have seen a lot of things in your travels. None compared to this.
"Fair enough, I am the Caretaker, an agent of the Watcher, who acts as a warden to the powerful ladies banished here. Currently we are in the purgatory where you can find me and some of the watcher's agents. We are in her domain which remain secluded from the time's weave. I am to help you and others who wind up here."
>Who are the ladies?
>Who is this Watcher?
>Others?
>How can i get this 'essence'

>>Who is this Watcher?
>>45833676
"To acquire the essence of the lady, there are but three means to do so: you can find out her name by following clues scattered throughout each realm, this will instantly kill the lady or you can find and kill her if you are able. Some ladies prefer if any drifting soul would fulfill a long time request."
"And who is this Watcher?" you asked.
"She who reigns over everything we say and do. She who finds pleasure in putting souls like you in grave situation for the mere value of entertainment. Learn to cope with it, that is all i am to say about this matter."
The was a pause "Now, which lady you will pledge to?"

this is not working.
I put so much time and effort on this one, different realms, encounters, characters etc and yet i will feel this impending doom looming over. Maybe i should just stick to drawing, at least i am getting better at it even if it is not noticeable.
I am sorry for wasting your time. Better end it now rather than 10-20 thread later with hours of wasted time.
Sorry again. I am sure there are lots of great QMs around.

well this is unfortunate
thanks for... trying?
>>45834097
The quest just started. Players aren't supposed to be unanimous in their choices. You either pick majority rules or just roll for it.
Don't surrender just yet.
>>45834155
it is not surrendering, it is foreseeing what would happen.
I already failed at 2 fallout quests and my livendagen quest. i won't let XCOM share the same fate.
Better put my energy in my main quest rather than a spur of a moment quest.

>>45834097
you didn't mention the time beforehand, you have thrice as many choices as would be advised, your mechanics blocks are longer than your writing

Please, finish Livendagen.
