"You wish to hide, witchling?"
Of course I want to hide from the crazy lady swinging a sword at me! A real metal sword with real cutty and stabby bits and everything! What kind of person does something like that?
Even worse, somehow the voice of the sword lady remains completely serene and uncaring as she calls out to me through the cover of smoke I apparently created. Isn't she the least bit spooked by that? Not that I really knew what was going to happen, but I guess it sort of matches the 'HIDE' label on the bottle and she doesn't know I didn't know! So it should totally count, but this lady...
Fine! We'll do it her way, then!
As quietly as I can I rummage through the emergency pack for something that will help me out here. More hiding won't do, with those huge ears of hers she'll probably find me eventually. And if I try to run... well, her legs are much longer than mine too!
'BOOM'? It sounds like the kind of thing you'd use when someone is trying to kill you, but how do I know how big the boom will be? Maybe it does nothing, maybe it causes a cave-in! Probably not a good idea!
'FIRE'? I already used one of those to light the torch - wait where is that anyway? Did I drop it without even noticing? - anyway, it sure made fire, but the fire kept burning for a long while even on the cave floor where some of the liquid spilled. It would DEFINITELY hurt her, but... I think I'd rather not!
'SMALL'? Hey, that sounds good! If she was smaller, maybe she wouldn't be able to fight anymore! That sounds perfect! Okay, now I just wait quietly until...
"Do you not wish to save your dear friend, witchling? Is your heart -that- cold?"
"Amalia! What did you do to-"
"Thank you." What? What does she mean tha- oh no!
"EEK!"
>>48242624
Like a flash of lightning, the sword lady suddenly appears through the smoke, her sword raised above her head. She swings downward and I only narrowly manage to move out of the way in time. If she hadn't said that, I don't think I would have made it at all!
After that, I run. I know she can hear me this way, but right now I just want to be some place with much less 'her' in it!
Eventually I realize I've left the cloud of smoke we were in, so now she'll be able to see me anyway.
Yet another moment later I realize that this is exactly what I want! Now I can go back to my original plan of waiting and then hitting her with the flask when she-
"WHAH! TAKE THAT!"
Let me finish my thoughts already! Anyway, let's see what the potion di-
..
..
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"
It didn't hit her at all! All of the greenish potion stuff only got on her sword! How can you parry something like that so easily!
She locks her cold, piercing, eyes on me, sending a paralyzing shiving down my spine. If she was a normal psycho, I think this is the part where she should be smiling sadistically but instead she just stands there, unmoving like a statue, and somehow I can't bring myself to do anything either!
About two thirds of an eternity later she finally moves her sight from me, moving them to look at her... huh?
The sword! It shrunk! And it shrunk a lot too, it's not even the size of a butter knife now! She tries to swing it about a few times, ineffectively, and then once again locks her eyes on me. They're different though, not the same placid eyes as before, they flicker just a little, hiding just a hint of sadness.
She does not stop, though. She still wants to fight??

"Stop!"
She doesn't.
"Please! We don't have to keep fighting! Nobody has to get hurt! Don't you see that we can just... stop?"
>13s are lucky, seriously!
She... pauses, at least.
"I threatened your friend. I threatened you. And now you have, effectively, disarmed me. Victory is in your hands, witchling. With a single move you can end the menace that is I, forever. What reason could you possibly have to stop now?"
"Eh?" Do crazy sword ladies always get so... philosophical?
"Reason? I don't know? I guess uh, I guess I just don't want anyone to get hurt? I mean, it's completely unnecessary! So we should just stop!"
"Hrh," She grunts dismissively. "I told your sister this test was pointless. She and I both know enough of you Eastern sorcerers, these 'witches', to know that a direct confrontation is a battlefield you will never master."
"Wait, what did she say about my sis-"
"But it seems something of worth has come of this test regardless."
"What TEST?"
"Your response was creative and, almost like a real witch, you sought to remove the battle from the physical world and turn it into a battle of minds. A battle you could win."
As she speaks, her eyes turn away from me, gazing down the dark path behind me, where I had just come form.
"But then, foolishly, you refuse to push your advantage. Just like a certain someone I know..."
"But uh, what's this about a te-"
"I have witnessed several of them in action already, within my short time in this land, and every single one of them has known this simple lesson, so listen carefully, witchling."
"Uh... O..kay?"
"If you want peace, if you 'do not want anyone to get hurt', you must -crush- the hopes of your enemy, completely and utterly. You must leave not a single sliver of hope that they can defy you, and then, only then, will you have your bloodless victory. Your peace."
>1/2
>>48243914
"Uhh... I'm not sure what-"
"Were I a real enemy I would simply have feigned surrender, then waited for you to lower your guard. You would have been forced to fight me again, possibly even until one of us was dead. After all, you just showed me you were not quite so strong as I thought, so why should I not think I could win?."
I... don't think I understand that at all. You have to be mean to be nice? That doesn't make sense! Maybe tomorrow I should ask Mistress what she thinks about it?
The strange lady is about to keep speaking when an all too familiar voice calls out from, if I'm not mistaken, exactly where she had previously been looking.
"Jeeeze Tam, do you really have to be heartless with my baby sister?"
Sis is here? Actually, wait, that's not surprising at all any more. So all of this was just...
"She deserves the chance to rise above your level. It is a kindness."
"Ouch!" She says, barely containing a giggle as she steps up beside me. "Anyway Naddie, I-"

"YOU!"
"Eh-?"
"YOU SET ALL THIS UP JUST TO TRICK ME! YOU... YOU... BULLYFACE!"
"Woah woah, wait I minute I was just-"
"YOU TRICKED ME INTO THINKING AMALIA HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED!"
"Hey now, that-"
"AND YOU MADE THE CRAZY SWORD LADY DO ALL THAT SCARY STUFF TOO!"
"But I-"
"AND YOU EVEN MADE MY NEW WITCH FRIEND HELP YOU TOO!"
"Na-Na-Naddie, please-"
"YOU! ARE! A! BULLY!"
"You don't-"
"Hrm!" I turn away, refusing to even look at her. That's what bullies deserve! "We're not talking until you apologize!"
"Naddie, come on, you're being totally unfair!"
...
"Come on, at least back me up a little here, she called you crazy!"
"It seemed fair, looking from her position."
"Ack, betrayed by my own ally too!"
...
"Jeeeze, fine! I'm sorry! Alright? S-O-R-R-Y! Sorry!"
"There. See, bullying doesn't pay. Oh!" I turn to face the strange woman with the ears. "Sorry Miss, I didn't mean to call you crazy but uh, I still don't know your name so-"
"Tamelia Salew-" She pauses for a moment and then, for the first time I've seen, smiles. "Apologies, just Tamelia."
"Huh?" What happened to the rest? "Well uh, about your sword, I'm uh, pretty sure I can fix it for you... If I ask for help, anyway. So uhm-"
"There is no call for that." In an instant, her smile evaporates as she turns her eyes on Sis. "The fault belongs to your sister, not you."
"He-hey now, that's a good offer, don't you think you should take the offer, Tam?"
>"It's okay Miss, I want to help if I can."

Sounds fair to me!
Favors, one of the most valuable currencies in the multiverse, second only to souls. And now you have one!
>>48244875
>Don't we still have a grow potion?Yes. Nadja now remembers that, thanks to you. If nobody had mentioned it, I would have had her bring it all the way over to Mistress or someone else, explain the entire situation, and ask for their help, only for them to take a brief glance at the 'Emergency Pack' and hand her that exact flask.Good job, anon.
>>48244790
>>"It's okay Miss, I want to help if I can."
>>48245097
I remembered it too, I just didn't mention it because I had no idea you were going to do things like that.
>>48245097
You see, sometimes anon being on the ball is a bad thing, cause that sounds hilarious.
>>48244790
"Uhm, how about I fix it for you anyway and we'll say Sis owes me a favour instead? A BIG one!"
"Hm?" The lady-whose-name-sounds-a-bit-like-Amalia ponders my suggestion for a moment, a crooked smile growing on her lips. "Yes, that trade should be fine, so long as you promise not to go easy on her."
"He-hey, don't these kind of deals require me to conse-"
"Nope."
"Heehee, sorry Sis!"
"Ack, the cruelty! The true villains are revealed at last! But fine, I'll comply with your evil wishes, this once! So, what'll it be Naddie?"
"Nuh-uh!" I can't help but smile a smile that I'm very sure good girls shouldn't have. "I'm saving this one!"
Sis bows her head in defeat, lets out a long, dramatic sigh. "You stole my naive little baby sister, you monster."
"Heehee!" This feels really good, having Sis have to do things MY way! "Anyway, I'm not really sure how to reverse that, so I should probably ask- Wait!"
I just remembered! In the emergency pack, there wasn't just 'SMALL' potions, there were also 'BIG' potions! So if I use one of these, that should definitely reverse the effect!
Probably!
"Okay, just put the sword on the ground there!"
Tam hesitates for a moment, but complies regardless. I pick out the correctly labelled potion and then, as is -apparently- the standard procedure with these, smash it unto the sword. It takes a moment for the reddish goop to fully dissipate, but as it does so the sword quickly grows back to it's original size.
At least I think it's the same. "Does this feel right, Miss?"
I step away to let her pick up the sword on her own. I'm not touching that! She swings it around a bit, then stabs the air a few times. Finally, she returns the sword to its sheath, nodding affirmatively. "Thank you for your kindness, witchling."
"No problem? I mean it was the least I could do, so.."
>1/3
>>48246403
"Anyway, I really think it's time to go home now before Papa gets worried."
"Wait!" Sis cries as I pack up my stuff to get ready. "The adventure isn't over!"
"...adventure?"
"Of course!" She announced proudly with arms spread wide. "That's my gift to you, your very own little adventure! Since you said you started witch training, it's super important that you learn to go on adventures! And who better to teach you than the greatest adventurer in all the land, your very own loving sister!"
"...what?"
"And of course, any adventure has to have a villain," She says, pointing to Tam who appears to be busy rolling her eyes -that's a new one too- in annoyance, "And even more importantly, any adventure must end with rescuing a beautiful princess!"
"...You don't mean-"
"In this case, none other than the exotic, charming, Princess Amalia!"
"You... actually kidnapped Amalia?"
"Well of course!" She explains with a smug smile on her face. "You wouldn't have been interested at all if I hadn't!"
She actually...
"I THOUGHT YOU JUST MADE THAT PART UP! WHY DID YOU DO IT FOR REAL?"
"I have been wondering the exact same." Tam adds behind me.
Sis, in return, grunts in annoyance at us. "For authenticity, of course! You should be thanking me, now you get to kiss-"
"KI-KI-KISS?!?" She shouldn't say things like that! Amalia's my friend!
"Well of course?" she says with one eye brow raised. "How else would you wake up a princess?"
"You... actually..." I knew my sister was kind of silly and crazy sometimes but this is just... "WHERE IS SHE?"
"This way." Tam answers before Sis has a chance to resume her shenanigans, leading a short distance further into the cave, through the darkness. Sis quickly follows behind after picking up the somehow-still-lit torch I dropped earlier.
It's a good thing she did, too, because there is no other light down here at all. I wonder how Tam was walking so calmly even in the dark?
>2/3
>>48246422
Less than a minute later, we reach a dead end of the cave, and there lying on the floor-
"AMALIA!"
She's... She's okay. She's just sleeping. I guess I knew that, but seeing her like that still scared me a little. Even though it's technically not even the first time!
"Amalia, wake up!"
But she doesn't move, not anymore than a soft, calm snore.
"Sis! What did you do to her! Wake her up!"
"Hm-hmm, I can't do that. Only a kiss from the Princess' true love will do!"
"WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT?"
She lets out a deep sigh. "Just kiss her already."
>Shake her until she wakes up. Sis is lying to trick me, sedatives don't work that way.

>>48246498
That's a good way to go about it if the kiss wins.
>>48246605
I don't think we should hold it for ever and ever just to find the perfect moment, but we do at least want to wait until we actually want help with something Nadja can't do herself.

>>48246825

>>48246867
How exactly does that make sense?
I obviously wrote and posted my post first.
>>48246923Thanks, I just wanted a pat on the head to be honest
>>48246926
Because people take longer than 20 seconds to write out a post that long? Also because refresh times mean that you don't see posts until up to a minute after they're posted?
>>48246926
Writing =!= posting, anon.
Auto-update isn't that on the ball.
>>48246926
Do you actually think the other post was written in 20 seconds?
>>48246963
>>48246961
Anons, the post timestamps are independent of the auto update. If you'll take a look at the posts you'll see mine was 25 seconds earlier. That means, assuming both of us have the same ping and his image took about 5 seconds max to upload, I still hit the post button at least 20 seconds earlier.
>>48247021
I'm not sure if you're doing this on purpose anon...
>>48246991
Anon, nobody is talking about writing time. If you want to include that then you basically have an excuse to make up anything you want.

>>48247042

>>48247087
I'm not, I just pointed out that you were wrong. You could have used plenty of other legitimate arguments against me, the least of which is "the QM has no obligation to do anything he doesn't want to do", but you didn't. You used your ignorance and confusion about the difference between the auto update and the time stamps.

I like discussion in my threads, but this discussion is dumb.
Yes, I manually checked for new posts before posting. No, your vote was not there when I did so. You want to know why? See image related.
Now settle down and be nice to each other.
>>48247116
Anon, you're the one assuming everyone is talking about your vote not counting. We've all tried to explain simply why your post was not counted by FriendQM in his roundup (hence not 'included' rather than not counting).
>>48247169
I was talking about it counting the entire time, anon. Maybe you should have been clearer about what you were trying to say instead of assuming I'd read your mind.
>>48246436
That's... That's not actually how it works, is it? I'm pretty sure it isn't! You couldn't make a sedative that only wears off when you get kissed!
"Amalia!" I call as I shake her wildly. "Amalia, wake up so we can go home!"
But all that seems to achieve is a few annoyed grumbles from her. I wonder if I'm interrupting a nice dream?
"No way. Not possible, there's no way you could actually-"
"Never underestimate the power of a Heart of Justice!"
She seems way too sure of herself. But the only way something like that would be possible if she had help from a...
From a...
Oh no.
"I am not obliged." Tam says before turning about to walk away. "I pray your vengeance will be great indeed, witchling."
And she's gone, leaving me alone with the increasingly smug face Sis is putting on. Why is she so proud of embarrassing me like this? It only worked because I trusted her!
But I did, and now it looks like I have no choice. I COULD have just carried her home and asked Mistress or someone to help me, but that would take a while, and Mister Gilbert would definitely be really sad! I can't let that happen!
But... She did only say a kiss! A kiss can be all kinds of things! It doesn't have to be so embarrassing! Haha, bet stupid Sis didn't see that coming.
I sit down beside her, feeling Sis' glee practically beaming off of her behind me, enough that I can almost see the cave lighting up from it. That'll be gone in a moment!
I lean forward, making sure to stall for time a bit just to annoy Sis, then after waiting long enough, give Amalia a single kiss on the forehead. Now to wait for her to wake up so I can rub it in Sis' face!
>1/4
>>48248357
...why isn't she waking up?
"Tch tch! Trying to cheat Naddie-girl? Sorry, but that won't do! Try again!"
No way around it, then...
Once again, I lean forward, this time not pausing for dramatic effect but just because...
This is so wrong! She's my bestest friend! How can I do something like that with HER? And... and it'd be my first too! All because of some STUPID trick! What did I do to deserve this?
Okay, deep breath. I gotta do it to help Amalia. I sure hope she won't be mad at me...
Deep breath. And...
There! Just a quick peck! So quick I barely felt it but it still counts!
Slowly, groggily, she finally open her big, pretty, amber-like eyes.
She smiles, slowly opening her mouth as if to speak, but only a low whisper that I can barely even hear at all comes out.
I lean closer to better hear her. "Amalia, are you- MMMPHMPH?!?"
In just one instant she leans forward herself, and she... she...
"WHAAH!" I push away from her in sheer panic, crawling backwards away from her. "YOU-YOU-YOU KISSED ME!"
She shakes her head softly, her eyes rapidly blinking before finally opening her eyes properly. "What... What's going on? Why are you yell-"
"WHY DID YOU KISS ME?"
"Wha-? Nahd?" She mumbles barely intelligibly as her eyes open wide and her face turns as red as I'm sure mine already is!
"Heehee, you did kiss her first, Naddie!" Sis giggles gleefully, even though nobody wants to hear your opinion at all right now!
"Nahd..? Nadja?" Amalia continues to mumble. "Dream... just dream... please?"
She slaps herself once. Then again, harder, then finally looks at me, muttering a single word before looking away again in a panic. "I..?"

Sis is a bully for sure.
>>48248372
"Oh! Now I get it!" She doesn't look at me as I break the awkward silence. "You were still dreaming!"
"So you thought you were kissing someone else! Right? Amalia?"
She keeps looking away for a long time, even as I carefully crawl back next to her. Finally, as I sit next to her again, she turns her head, still beet red, to stare at her feet as she whispers just the one word: "...Yes."
"Haha, I knew it! It was just a misunderstanding!" I wrap my arms around her from behind. She definitely needs a hug right now! "Heehee, and don't worry, I won't ask who you were dreaming about! Unless you want to tell-"
"NO!" She cries so loud the word rings back and forth between the cave walls for a while.
"Haha, okay okay! Come on, you must be so confused! I'll explain it all on the way home!"
That ended okay after all! So then why does Sis keep grumbling angrily to herself? Didn't she get -exactly- what she wanted?
...
But if it was just a mistake, how come it felt kind of... nice?

Justice Log
3rd of U, 347th of the Fourth Age
Executed Operation Princess Kiss.
Every step was performed exactly as planned.
Outcome: Dissatisfying.
I feel I have run out of options. Even when faced with the obvious, my sister persists in thinking up nonsensical explanations, and Amy is all to happy to confirm the delusions just so she herself can run from the truth!
Tam claims the operation failed because "One cannot coerce a flower into blooming, only by Patience is its beauty unveiled."
BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT!
I may not have a choice, however. I am left clueless as to how the situation can be escalated further. For once, I leave the matter in the hands of Fate.
Also, received letter from AP about some trouble she needs with in the North. It didn't sound THAT urgent, so I'll wait a few days before leaving.

>try harder
And as always, thank you very much for playing with me!
I hope you enjoyed this thread, even though it was delayed again! Sorry about that, but you know I'm terrible with these things (and most things, really) so your patience is highly appreciated!
As usual, questions will be answered if you have any, and if you don't, see you next time!
>>48248418
Thanks for running, Friend!
Poor Amalia really gets put in tough situations a lot huh. A noble goal, Alina, but some dirty methods!
>>48248418
Thank you, friend.
Don't forget Nadia is a reptilian.
>>48248496
Thanks for running Friendo.
>>48248496
How is summer treating you?
>>48248496
Does Alina have a lot of entries in her Justice Log?
>>48248587
I wonder how many of those entries is just her coming up with ways to get Nadja and Amalia to get together.
>>48248539
Summer? Where? Can you spare some?
Seriously, Summer here seems to have been restricted to May and early June (when I was studying for exams) exclusively, still waiting in anticipation for the sun to come back.
>>48248587
She's not exactly meticulous about recording events, but she's decided it's super cool to have one so she writes at least something in it every day.
She also specifies the current era, because she's certain that someone hundreds of years will be reading it. Her priorities about what to relay to the people of the future may seem questionable to you, but if they do that's just because you don't understand Justice.
>>48248646
That sucks Friend, I hope you get more sun!Justice is...cute girls?
>>48248677Justice is cute girls, doing cute things.
Cute things read as: cute girls.
>>48248646
Next thread wan?
>>48248677
>>48248699
No no, that's a gross oversimplification.
Justice means making the world cuter! Cute girls, cute boys, cute animals, removing uncute monsters and villains, and preventing people and places from being made less cute due to villainous acts such as burning, conquering, enslaving, and so on! Oh, and spreading awareness of cute things, obviously.
>>48248838
Well gee, last time I made a promise on that I wound up unable to keep it, so maybe we should just say 'soon' to prevent any unnecessary jinxing?
>>48248878
You mean SoonTM?
