Mudy awakens to a horrendous fever. His head feels as if someone forced a blade into his brain through the back of his head and left it there to rot.
He can't stop shivering.

It appears to be nighttime already.

>>17023
Attempt to play your flute to summon Sidhe, see if she can detect anything not-of-mortal-origin affecting our corporeal form.

>>17023

Peek outside.

Peak out the tent flaps.

"Anyone there?"

With shaking hands Mudy reaches for his flute. He forces himself to play a tune for they fey within.

>animated

He feels his weight decreasing, but his fever does not fade with the other weariness of his body. The pain persists.

>"Y O U N G B A R D , Y O U S O U N D D I F F E R E N T , B U T P L E A S A N T N O N E T H E L E S S ."

Attempt to pull out the thing in the back of your spirit-head.

>>17032
Oh god it's literal. D:

>>17034
Consult with the fay first. It might not be a good idea.

>>17032
Get that thing out yo haid, little bard.
Or have the fey do it.

"I feel... terrible. What's wrong with me?"

"H-help. I don't want to die."

>>17032

Fffff- that can't be good. Feel around your head.

"C-can you help me? What is this?"

Mudy feels around on his head. To his disgust he can feel a slick knob protuding from his skull.
>"C-can you help me?"
, he stammers.

>"I C A N N O T S T U N T T H E G R O W T H O F A M O R T A L B O D Y , Y O U N G B A R D ."
, the fey sings in response.
>"I T I S P A R T O F Y O U, A N D W I L L H A V E T O B E D E A L T W I T H I N T H E W O R L D O F T H E L I V I N G ."

Grit your teeth and try to pull the knife out of your head.

>>17054
It's not a knife. Its like some little octopus or something.

It's ALIVE!

>>17052
It kind of looks like a little person/thing.

Can we try and communicate with it?

>>17054
I'm sure it's more of a metaphysical, magical problem. Try to call for help. Real help. Like Raital...

Our Blutjaeger powers awaken!

>>17052

"Then deal with it I shall."

Resist mind-control for remainder of chapter.

Being in this state is painful.

Thank the fey for trying to help, but go back to your body. Try to find someplace you can go get magical curses cured.

>>17052

"It's alive? What can I do?"

"What is it?"

Mudy thanks the fey for her help and let's himself fade back to the normal world.
He puts his hands to the back of his head and attempts to find the place he felt the knob.

Then pulls.

>animated

>>17068

Wow, that was a bad idea.

Um, call for help? Bleed?

>>17068
Crap crap crap! Get Raital and her healan mojo in here stat!

Oh shi-
Put you spine back slowly.

Ok, seriously. Call for help!

>>17068
Mudy nooooo

Keep pulling, acquire corrupted bone sword.

Something tells me that with blood running even out of his eyes, Mudy will not be in a state to do very much at all.

>>17068

"AAAAAAAH! OH GOD! RAITAL! SOMEONE! ANYONE! AAAAAAHHH!"

Your spinal column is a candy cane with a skull on top? How metal Mudy.

Mudy screams in pain, and cries out for Raital.
Raital throws the curtain aside, a panicked look on her face.
>"Lat-- LATRAL?! What..?!"

>>17068
That is one hell of a pain tolerance threshold.

Well, this is clearly magic, and that does not look at all like a spine (even has a mini skull on top)
In fact, it looks like the back of some sort of weapon (Spear? Sword? Axe?)

We aren't dead yet, and if we don't have the willpower to take control of whatever it is that Luhra Luhra did to us, how can we ever expect to stop our mother or the first heir?

WILLPOWER, GRIT AND DETERMINATION, MUDY, YOU CAN DO IT.

>>17087

"H-Help...me....Luhra...Luhra..."

>>17087
Pull it out, Raital... pull it out just like I never do...

>>17087
Yeah, there is definitely something on the end of that thing. We already pulled it out this far, we may as well finish.

Also, BLACK blood? Weird. Even dried blood isn't portrayed as black.

>>17094
HAH

>>17096

This may be the best course of action, considering. I mean, you don't wanna shove it back in.

Keep pulling you little faggot!

Grit those teeth and PULL IT OUT.

Mudy's words seem to give Raital a boost in willpower, and she grabs onto the protrusion with a fierce look in her eyes.

Anyhow, this could be good or an epic fail. Let's watch, shall we?

"Ah, thank you. That was giving me quite the headache. No, I'm just joking! Seriously, my head in in incredible agony though. If you could get some pain killers, or a piece of wood to bite on so I don't swallow my tongue that would be great."

>>17127
Do we feel better with it out of our head?

If we are still capable of speech, lets ask Raital to let us hold that giant sword. Who knows, we might feel better holding it than not. If it doesn't make us feel better (or makes us feel worse), then we can deal with it appropriately.

>>17127

Mudy continues to scream in agony, but slowly realizes that all of the pain and fever had subsided.
Raital calls for him, and he crawls out of the tent.

Somehow, he feels a strong familiarity with the blade.

>>17155
HUG RAITAL

>>17155

"What...is THAT?"

>>17155
Take the sword. TAKE IT.

>>17155

Take the blade, Mudy. You know that it's yours.

>>17155
It's our sword. The one we used as a blutjaeger. I'm almost sure of it.

>>17155
Status check: Are we still intelligent? Do we still have bard powers? We do know what sex is and how to perform it, right? This is important.

>>17155
Familiarity with it?

Try and reach back through your memories, see if you can discern why this weapon feels familiar to you, all while slowly reaching out a hand to brush the skull pommel.

>>17155
Try to lift the blade, Latral, see how familiar it is in your grip.

>>17155

Did your mother drop you on your head on a sword of the colossus when you were a baby? Because damn.

>>17155

Take the sword.

Claim your birthright.

POWER!!!!

>>17155
Thank/hug Raital
Ponder what the FUCK just happened.
Grab sword and hope it doesn't make us evil or something stupid.

Utter some curses shakily and curl up with your head in your hands.

Mudy scrambles over to the giant sword.
He doesn't feel like he lost any of his mind - infact, when he puts his hands on the hilt, he feels as though he can think clearer than ever.
He thanks Raital.

Raital keeps her hands on the hilt with visible hesitation.
>"L.. Latral.. Are you sure?"

>>17175

"Trust me. I've never been so sure of something."

>>17175
Lift it over your head. You know you can do it.

>>17175
On second thoughttt...
maybe you should take a rest first, Mudy. So as to not become scary and evil.

>>17175
"I'll be fine, Raital. I need to test something."

Throw it into the desert!

>>17175
Raital, this sword... I feel like it is part of me, I need to see for sure. If something goes wrong, I trust you to stop me Raital, no matter what the cost.

Sniff the sword, put that powerful schnozz to use.

Careful, Mudy!

In what way does the sword make you feel like you can think more clearly? Remember how Kuhrahl's contract magic messed with your mind!

>>17175

No, but I have to know what's going on.

Do you know what this sword is?

>>17175
"No... but this sword feels so familiar to me. I've... I've got to try, Raital. Will you save me if something goes wrong?"

in before he can't hold up the sword and it cuts Cheryl in half.

>>17175

"I...think so."

>>17175
Time to get all BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL, Mudy.

>>17175
"No.
But... its PART of me... I... I have to know what it is..."

Ponder what kind of moron would make a sword that long, much less for a 2' tall dog lizard.

Try to make it more kobold sized with your MIND POWERS.

Alternatively, ask if Raital knows what or whose it is.

>>17194
Also add to this
"...If this is a trap of some kind just... just save yourself, okay?"

>>17199

Probably the same kind of person who can forge magical weapons and stick them inside inter-dimensional spaces in people's heads.

You know.

>"I've... I've got to try, Raital. Will you save me if something goes wrong?"

Raital nods.
>"O-ofcourse."

She let's go of the blade.

It is far too heavy.
Raital only just pulls Mudy's hands off it before it snaps his spine and crushes his fingers, and the hilt smashes down inches away from his feet.
Cheryl groans from the impact, but doesn't slow down.

>>17209
Oh, well played, Clerks. Well played indeed.

>>17209
Well that's no good.

Ask our darling sister if she knows anything about Luhra Luhra being able to do this to people, or what this sword is.

>>17209

Hmm that kills that idea.

Balls. What do you do with a 12-foot sword? I guess give it to Raital for right now.

>>17209

Become puzzled.

Apologize to Cheryl.

>>17209
Okay... let's try that again. See if you can't pick it up.

>>17209
"Well... maybe it's not mine after all? But what is it? Or whose? I feel like I should know it."

>>17205
It's not just a question of being able to lift and swing it, it's the fact that it wouldn't be possible to use it in enclosed spaces, unless they just happen to be bigger than the sword.

>>17209
'I don't understand. It feels so familiar to me, like I should know it, like it's mine. But there is no way I am strong enough to lift it.'

Thoughtful pause

'At least, I am not strong enough right now. Raital, do you remember what power mother gave me when I was lagging behind the other Blutjaegers? I keep trying to remember, but it is still too murky for me. I feel that this sword might have something to do with it, especially since it was somehow contained within me.'

>>17209

Heh, what did you expect.

"Owwww. I'm sorry Cheryl."

"I don't know what I was thinking. It seemed so familiar but I can't place it. Will you hold it for me? I don't understand it but somehow it's part of me and you're the only one I trust it with."

>>17209
Attempt to shrink it with your mind

>>17209

Mudy apologizes to Cheryl. A soft coo in response let's him know all is well.

>"Well... maybe it's not mine after all?"
, Mudy questions.
>"But what is it? Or whose? I feel like I should know it."

Raital lays her hand on Mudy's back. He notices he was shaking.

>"I.. I think it is yours.. But I thought mother took it away from you; Your Blutjaeger gift. This sword is you, Latral.. Your blood."
She picks it up, and begins to blush heavily.
>"O.. otherwise.. it wouldn't let me hold it."

>>17229

"Why I would ever want to use something so bulky and unwieldly is beyond me."

"Anyways, there are more pressing matters to attend to at the moment...such as how the hell Luhra Luhra jammed this thing into my head."

>>17209
Well this sort of blows. Without Dagger around anymore we can't even figure anything out about this sword, can we?

"Well, it certainly isn't mine now, even if it ever was.
... Raital, I saw Luhra Luhra for a second when we were leaving. He looked at me and... I think I felt this being stabbed into my head."

The bigger the sword, the manlier the man?

>>17229

Wow, this makes me wonder, Mudy must have had more powers or some magic items in his before life.

Raital should keep the sword, and we should learn if there's a way we can reuse the sword. It's ours, after all, so there's got to be something we can do with it.

>>17229
"It seems like Luhra Luhra gave it back. But why?"

"Was it Luhra Luhra who put this in my head then? I saw him before I... got sick. Or was it... mother who did it?"

>>17229
'Maybe.... maybe she didn't take it from me, or couldn't. Maybe she hid it away, made me forget. I probably never would have remembered it or even known it was there, if.... Luhra. We passed him on our way out of Firewater, and... I think he did something to me in passing. But why? Last we saw him, he seemed resolute in his support of mother, so why would he do this?'

Ponder for a moment.

'He was alone, this time. When he claimed to no longer be fighting for the right to be heir, our other siblings were present. But this time, he was alone. Maybe he does still wish to take the throne, but wishes to be secret, unseen.'

Shake head, look at Raital

'Well, right now that doesn't really matter. If you are willing, I would be honored for you to wield the sword. Although I will admit, I still do not remember this weapon much at all. Perhaps you could tell me more about it? I think it is important, for several reasons.'

>>17229

"Would it be possible to somehow absorb its power, seeing I can't wield it anyhow?"

>>17229
"!!!"

"Gimme!"

Mudy looks up to Raital. She seems just as clueless.
>"When he claimed to no longer be fighting for the right to be heir, our other siblings were present. But this time, he was alone. Maybe he does still wish to take the throne, but wishes to be secret, unseen."

Raital swallows.
>>"M-maybe.. But.. Even with the sword you're still the weakest of all of us.."

Mudy sighs as well.
>"Well, right now that doesn't really matter. If you are willing, I would be honored for you to wield the sword."

Its not like we have anyone who was forced to study swords in her youth.

>>17247

Put hands on the sword, and concentrate on it disappearing. Maybe since it's part of you it can be willed back to where it was.

>>17247

>Bloodblade

The name suddenly occurs to Mudy as the cold blade enters his head. He feels the solid mass begin to flow through his entire body, and with it part of his strength returning.

Also this question occured to me.

"Say... Raital, I've sort of been wondering... Have you ever seen any kobolds besides me and mother?"

>>17247
Clench your teeth at the sight of your birthright held just out of reach, quite literally.

"Raital, you're my first and only choice to wield the sword, but... If it's possible to imbue its power back into me, that would be my first choice. I'm tired of being helpless."

"Maybe Axebeard knows something about how to break the magic. She's no mage, but she knows more about swords than any of us."

>>17247

>>17251

'Even with the sword, you are the weakest of all of us.'

So, that would imply the sword itself is a thing of substantial power.

....Maybe with it Raital could be a match for Taikah or Stormplague?

Either way, if it truly is more than just a sword, but is a piece of us, we should be able to control it. Who says we need to hold it to wield it? We can move our body by thinking of how we wish to move and doing so, why should we not be able to direct the sword in a similar manner? Something to think about in the future as we explore its abilities and our memories of it.

For now, lets see if we can will the sword to hide again, be safe and secret within us, or something like that.

>>17254

"Thank you, Raital. I don't know what I'd do without you. I kind of want a rest after all of that."

>>17254
"Oh Raital... I love it when you put things inside me."

>>17255
...huh. Weird.
Well, people can recognize us as a kobold, so they have been seen around often enough to be recognized.

So where are they? We might find out more about both of our parents if we investigate.

>>17254
"Wait, I wouldn't really be in a hurry toAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALARGHBMRRRGHNYARGNFRGTHUNGHNNN!!!!!"

Maybe we can make the sword manifest only part of itself and keep the rest in us to have power to wield it?

Raital gets on her knees and holds Mudy's head as if to make sure he is allright. After a moment she simply keeps her hand on his cheek and smiles.

Mudy rests his face in her palm.

She sheathed a sword in you, Mudy. It's only fair that you return the favor.

Mudy does not feel any stronger or more magical. Infact, he feels pretty much the same as he felt before - he felt slightly weaker when the sword was out.



Mudy makes numerous jokes about sheathing a sword in her, and having a craving for having more things put in him. Raital's nose responds appropiately.
>"Well.. i-if I remember correctly.. I was making you drink my blood.. That's a way to have me inside of you..."
, she responds. Mudy isn't sure if she's joking or serious.

>>17313

Yeah, Raital's a little bit crazy.

ELF

>>17313
Sigh, and turn and glare at Bladetree.

"Goddammit, WHAT? Every time we get affectionate you pop up and make that face. If you have a problem with us, then man up and SAY IT TO MY FACE."

>>17313

"I... I think I'd like that very much. *BLUSH*"

This reminds me we still need to have a chat with Bladetree.

>>17313

Lick her nose clean and indulge her. Let's return the favor.

"At this rate I have drunk gallons of it but it pales in comparison at what I have in my heart for you."

Yeah, lets ask Raital to wait just a moment, there is something that needs to be cleared up, the sooner the better.

Head over to talk to Bladetree. Don't bother putting on clothes (especially considering our only outfit now is rather effeminate) and just march over.

'Bladetree, I imagine it is time we had a talk. Perhaps with Lady Goldwomb as an objective viewer.'

>>17335
It can wait for morning~

Mutter: "If I see that elf one more time..."

>>17340
That's the attitude we have taken with it so far, and we haven't actually talked with him, despite having several chances, because there is always something more pressing in the morning.

If we talk now, we can basically bring up
'Hey, saved you from slavery BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FRIEND, and helped unite the Dark Elf nation to oppose the Skullking, so why are you so pissed off?'

Strictly speaking, as a knight he probably owes us at least for the rescue from slavery.

Don't be such a bitch. That will only reinforce his idea that we're demons. Be friendly, tell him he's been looking concerned for a while and you'd like to help.

>>17348

I'm all for confronting him providing we notice him... after licking Raital's nose clean.

>>17348
Don't forget to bring up the fact that you're only half-siblings.

This is pretty much the time to talk to him.
Can't leave this hanging any longer, and it would give you some time to get over what just happened before moving on, so to speak.

Tell Raital you'll be with her in a bit, you need to recover from the experience, and it seems Bladetree is awake and you need to talk to him anyway.

Mudy blushes heavily.
>"I... I think I'd like that very much."

Raital tightens her embrace.
>"Th.. That makes me happy.."

>>17365
I think Bladetree's going to have a stroke.

>>17365
Oh good god he's masturbating

>>17370

ELF HAS REACHED CRITICAL MASS! BRACE FOR IMPACT!

>>17370
Guys I think we broke Bladetree.

This is pretty gross.

SWALLOW IT MUDY, EMBRACE IT, MAKE IT YOURS...because no one else would have it.

>>17370
Ancestors to Bladetree: Calm down, boy! Just turn around and forget it. Ask the Dwarf for alcohol, if you must.

>>17378

Don't listen to that guy. He's masturbating right now. In front of all of us.

Go ahead and push them off the sandworm.

Look at him as you swallow.

D'awwwwwwww. I think this is cute. But now Bladetree is glaring at me.

>>17369
Do it! Raital's blood made him twice as strong when he was completely soaked in it. Drinking it could cause another doubling of power... All the way to slightly weaker than a Skullman.

>>17369
:3

>>17369
DO ET
Then follow up with a very heartfelt "I love you."

>>17365
>>17366
>>17369
This is simultaneously sweet, adorable, and deeply disturbing.

We have to invite Bladetree in one time.

>>17387

I agree, minus the "sweet and adorable" bits. Mudy and Raital ran out of "sweet and adorable" long ago.

>>17370
I am so saving that.

If you love her you'll swallow. This is adorable.

Thats it. We're moving Bladetree's tent down one.

Mudy forces himself to swallow. He embraces the fluid, letting it become part of him. The warm sensation travels through his entire body. He begins to feel more energetic, more powerful, more filled.. Somehow, he feels sharper.

When it has all passed down his throat, he coughs and gasps for air.
Raital looks down with concern.
>"A.. Are you okay?"

Mudy leans into her.
>"I love you."
He can feel Raital shiver in response. She kisses him on the forehead.
>"I-I love you too."

From the corner of his eyes Mudy sees Bladetree slink away behind the curtain of his tent.

>>17395

Tommorow we will have to have a discussion with Bladetree.

>>17395
>he feels sharper
CAUSE HE'S A SWORD. EH? EH?

Welp, we're tired of being weak, so I guess we're a wussy vampire demon kobold now.

Bottoms up.

>>17396
No. Not tomorrow, damnit. We're going to put on the robe I assume we took with us, and talk to him, damnit.

>>17398
Good idea. Maybe we can drink HIS blood too!

>>17395
Okay, blood drinking time has ended.

Time to diplomance the shit out of Bladetree.

I smell some kind of a justasplanned here. Mudy's power takes the shape of a sword he can't use, Raital seems to have always had the hots for him and Raital's blood strengthens him.

The Skullking created them to combine into some kind of superblutjaeger!

We can't leave Raital like this. Bladetree is gonna have to wait now.

>>17395

"... I think Bladetree saw us. Do you think I should go talk to him now?"

>>17395
Go hug Bladetree's leg. How can he say no to that?

>>17405

I don't know. He's probably like Gomer Pyle right now. Naked and hugging his sword. "This is my sword, this is my justice."

>>17407
More like Itchi, lying in a pool of blood masturbating like crazy.

>>17405
If a demon rodent latched onto my leg after drinking someone elses blood, I'd freak the fuck out.

>>17402
I wonder if it is just her blood that will strengthen Mudy, though. I mean, it isn't like he has been coated in any blood but Raital's or drank blood from any source but her nose/snout.

>>17408
Oh god no.

>>17410
I guess Blutjaegers could gain power from blood. Googling a bit it seems jaeger could be jäger which means hunter (also rifleman, but that doesn't seem appropiate), so Blutjaeger could mean Bloodhunter.

Damn, lets go back to Firewater and grab some frozen queen-blood. I bet that makes us damn strong.

Mudy rests silently in the arms of his sister for a while, before a strange sense of guilt and responsibility gets to him.
>"... I think Bladetree saw us. Do you think I should go talk to him now?"
, he asks with a sigh.

Raital gently squeezes him, then loosens her embrace.
>"Hmm.. I-I don't want to fool around while you feel bad.."
, she whispers back.
>"Do what you think is right."

Go talk with Tree-dog. Dude needs to chill the fuck out.

>>17415

"I think he'll go insane if this isn't sorted out soon. I'll be back in a second. Promise."

Talk to him. Let's lance this boil before it gets infected.

>>17415
Wash yourself and then find Bladetree. We owe him a big great hug.

But it would probably be better to wait for the next day ...

>>17415
...Lets clean ourselves up and put some clothes on before we go talking to Bladetree.

>>17415
"I'll be right back.
We all need to be happy, not just us two, right?"

>>17415
'I thank you sweet Raital. I shall not be gone long, and hope to greet you again with as much warmth and love as you could hope.'

Then dramatically stride away to talk with Bladetree. No clothes. No wiping your nose. You aren't ashamed of who or what you are, and you body language should convey that.

>>17415
>Raital gently squeezes him, then loosens his embrace.
>"Hmm.. I-I don't want to fool around while you feel bad.."

Holy shit it's actually working. 4 chapters ago she would just drag Mudy to the tent and have her way with him.

>>17422
Wipe the blood before somebody slips, falls to the sand and gets lost.

>>17415

Go and speak with Bladetree. I mean it's kind of understandable why he freaked out. If you saw your leader fucking his sister and drinking of her blood I'm sure you'd have cause to be concerned too.

>>17415

Clean up and dress up before you go Mudy. Lick her clean as apology.

"Thank you, I think the night is still young and so are we."

>"Thank you, I think the night is still young and so are we."

Raital smiles.

Mudy whipes the blood off his face the best he can and puts on his robe.
He slips through the curtain into Bladetree's tent.

>"Silvanus, grant me sanctuary.
>Silvanus, grant me sanctuary.
>Silvanus, grant me sanctuary.
>Silvanus, grant me sanctuary.
>Silvanus, grant me sanctuary."

"Sir Bladetree the Evenhanded, I was wondering if we could talk."

>>17427
Hug him from behind. This can't possibly end badly.

>>17427

He looks like he's coping well. Lets just wait patiently for him to finish/notice us.

>>17427
Uh, hi Bladetree... Um... Polishing your sword, I see.

>17427

Back outside the tent. Now. Cough loudly to let him know you're outside, and wish to speak to him. If there's no answer, call his name politely, and ask to speak with him. DO NOT TOUCH THE DUDE ROCKING BACK AND FORTH SAYING "THIS IS MY RIFLE, THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE"

>>17427
"...Bladetree? Sorry if I'm interrupting, but I was wondering if we could talk."

>>17427
Slowly back out. And wait outside the tentflap.

From there, hail him politely.

'Sir Bladetree, I was wondering if the two of us could talk, should you be willing.'

Say "Hi," in a disarmingly small voice.

>>17427
"Bahamut, man, calm the hell down."

>>17427

"Bladetree? I was hoping you and I might have a moment to speak. Would you mind if I joined you?"

>>17427

"Hey, we haven't talked for quite a while. I notice that ..something.. is bothering you. I'd like to think we could talk about it between ourselves. Would you like to talk about ..something?"

>"All matters regarding yonder Skullking and thine alliance with mine kingdom have been settled."

>>17439
Mudy isn't dumb.

Say "You disapprove of my relationship with Raital."

>>17439
Bladetree, I deserve better treatment than that. If it hadn't been for me, you'd be in a cage heading for some Dark Elf's farm as a slave.

We need to discuss your objections to my relationship with my sist-- with Raital.

>>17439
"You think I'm evil."

>>17439

Sir Bladetree, if you no longer wish to accompany me I will not hold you to the task. You are your own person, and I would never force you to stay if you would rather leave.

>>17439
'Well, first off I was hoping to make sure that when Hans and Gunther betrayed us for the Lich Calavera and attempted to sell you and Lady Goldwomb into slavery that you did not suffer before Rapier's followers came for you two. I know that I would grieve if you had been mistreated so, as you have always been a loyal and true comrade.'

>>17439

"Well, the fact that you saw Raital and I. You looked very upset. Do you want to talk about it? I think you're one of the only people to discover us. I'm, not ashamed, you know. I just wish you'd found out differently."

>>17439
"What on earth are you snapping at me for?"
*Make hurt face*

>>17447
Make HUGE WATERY EYES with it

It's more than just the incest. Remember the guard Darkmoon killed? And then we dragged him along to the dark elf kingdom.

Bladetree has probably thought we were evil from the start.

Use MOLLIFY

>>17439

"Bladetree! If you have any problems, you will come out in the open with them! Do I make myself clear? Our mission is far too important to risk on an unwillingness to communicate!"

>>17439
"Look, I know my relationship with Raital doesn't sit well with you.
...I don't pretend to know what sort of laws your Knighthood obliges you to follow.
But I was hoping we could get to know each other better.
I don't want you to have the wrong idea about us."

>>17439

"I have noticed that something is bothering you. I'd like to think we can work it out between us. It's about Raital and me, isin't it? Do you think we are evil?"

There is a silence.

>"Sir Bladetree, if you have any problems, then please, come out in the open with them. Our mission is far too important to risk on an unwillingness to communicate. We need to discuss your objection--"
>"OBJECTIONS?!"
, Bladetree suddenly shouts.

>How can thee expect I to have faith in our relationship, when thee can not respect the SANCTITY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND WIFE?! LOVING THINE SISTER THOU ART KIN TO A MAN WHO DOTH LOVES ANOTHER MAN!"

You... DO know that Princess Silvermoon is male, right?

>>17455
Hey Bladetree, your princess? She's a he.
Quite a smashing lad, if you ought to know.

> LOVING THINE SISTER THOU ART KIN TO A MAN WHO DOTH LOVES ANOTHER MAN!
Bite your tongue Mudy! Don't say it!
DO NOT SAY IT!
We want to calm him down, not ruin him.

>>17455


Technically she's our half-sister. Does that help?

>>17455
"Half-sister. Also that's just dumb. Why should it matter who gets it on with whom as long as it's consensual and between mature individuals?"

>>17455
I can't do anything about that.
We're too similar; same upbringing, same traumas, same events.
You should know that love strikes without warning.

>>17458
>>17458
No.
1) He will KILL you.
2) We promised the prince(ss) not to say anything. And his mother. >_>

>>17460
We're also royalty. Princes and Princesses do this shit all the time.

I think the fate of the world is a little more important than matters of the heart, wouldnt you agree?

And what is this talk of deciet and murder?

Besides, initially, we didn't even know she was our sister. And it was a little late once we did figure it out.

Perhaps our love is misdirected, and not what you would expect, but we are nothing if not faithful to it. Surely, that means something.

Uh, sorry to break this to you, Bladetree, but...

>>17455
"No morals? When I risked myself, getting kidnapped by slavers to rescue you?"

Whatever you do, don't betray The prince(ss)' secret.

Perhaps he would be more understanding if he knew of your childhood with Raital, and growing up with the Blutjaegers. Tell him the story of your first kiss with Raital.

I think the best way to help bring him around is to explain what life was like in the citadel, and how (even with HALF-Blood relation) things slowly turned into this, and the justifications behind it. Of course, I don't think he'll ever be okay with the more.. kinkier stuff.

Also, he seems to have problems with deceit and murder. Is he just voicing that he feels it's on the same level, or is he openly accusing us of this?

"Have you looked at our brothers and sisters? One is half angel half demon, another is some sort of cat-like woman, and the third i don't even know. Do you even think we can really be called brother and sister like that?"

>>17468

We timetraveled, that never happened.

Explain to him the finer points of dog breeding and pedigree. Then explain the nature of "blue blood".

"Do you know what its like in the citadel? Do you know what it means to be alone for most of your life? Until one day someone comes and lifts you out of the darkness,if only for a second. Would you not harbor strong feelings for that person?"

>>17470
Darkmoon Dagger killed a guard. Mudy didn't really care, he gave her a passing chastising statement. Allowing an act of evil to happen is as bad as committing it.

>>17455
"...Do you want to know about my life before all of this?
My training to be a Blutjaegar?
The Citadel where we were raised was a very dark place. From the very day I was born I was taught everything there was to know about death and pain.
I spent my childhood surrounded by skulls and corpses learning about death and being reminded how weak I was.
But through all that one person always showed my kindness.
Every horrible day and every dark night she was there with a smile and a reassuring word.
How could I help it? How could I help falling in love?
I could not control my love anymore than I could control who my parents were.

But I could control who _I_ was.
And so one day, I had decided I had had enough.
I refused to be a Blutjaegar. Refused to cow to my mother's dark will.
I stood right in front of her and said 'no'

So before you judge me, know that all I have ever wanted was to do the right thing, and for Raital to be happy."

>>17455
Laugh.

"Raital and I aren't even the same SPECIES. And your problem is that we're too closely related?"

>>17455

"I know it seems wrong to have these feelings for your kin... But we can't help it. We have always loved one another and the feeling keeps on growing. If my love for her is wrong then I don't want to be right. If I would lose her now I would die. We do this out of love for each other and the desire to live our lives in peace together. Why are you here?"

>>17455
"First off, we don't have the same father. Second off, the Skullking is something beyond that of mortal bounds. Who is to say that I am even of her blood anymore? Brother and Sister we may be, but that may just be in spirit - not in family.

, he offers.

>"Precisely."
, Bladetree groans.
>"Thus we hath nothing to discuss. Leave me be."

Leave him with a disarming "But i'll always be an Ally of moonshine and you bladetree."

>>17482
"I just... I don't want you to hate me, Bladetree."

>>17482
"No. You've been fixated on this for days. I'm not going to let this continue until you crack."

Come a little closer into the tent, and say "You know, we're not even the same species. How can we be too closely related? As far as I can tell, we were made with arcane techniques and strange magics. It's not like we're twins. But that's beside the point, which is that I don't see what right you have to say what love is acceptable and what isn't."

>>17482
No, it does not.
I'd like to iron this out, because leaving this untreated will only make it fester.
Let us voice our problems, and then attempt to solve them peacefully.

>>17482
Sigh.
"If that is how you truly feel.
I had hoped we could talk this over and become friends."

>>17482

We didin't?

Okay, let's change topic with Gomer Bladetree. Aaaaare you virgin? *bat your long Mudy eyelashes*

>17482

>"Thus we hath nothing to discuss. Leave me be."

Well, now, I wouldn't say that.

Earlier, you said "How can thee expect I to have faith in our relationship, when thee can not respect the SANCTITY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND WIFE?!"

Name me once. ONE TIME, you shallow, narrowminded, priggish tree-dancer, when I have been unfaithful to Raital. When I have not shown her the love, respect, deference, and passion demanded of a husband to his wife, and of a wife to her husband?

How can I ask YOU to have faith in our relationship? You, who have at every moment, every glance, every action and expression of being all but shouted "You are filth, and scum, and unworthy of my presence."

You, "Sir Bladetree", who have shown a chivalry of character befitting a cantankerous hermit, towards those to whom your faith would most describe you to exhibit compassion, understanding, fraternity, and, above all else, Love?

How can "I" ask "YOU"?

'twould be better to inquire just WHEN you plan to twist the knife, and be done with the matter.

I do wonder though. Are you still enough of a paladin that you'll let me see the blade first?

"... Bladetree, you are the meanest, most awful Paladin I have ever met."

>>17491
And then run away crying

>>17489
Ha. I like this.
Perhaps it is a bit confrontational, but I like the idea.

>>17482
"So, you're fine with the way things are? I'm here to talk to you about the concerns you want to voice, and all you do is yell about how some things seem "impure and unjust" to you, and how you will just grin and bear it. My feelings for Raital are strong, and I believe in those. But if you have other concerns with me, say them openly. I cannot listen to your concerns if you never voice them!
I try to do things overall for the benefit of the part, so any individual concerns you have with my actions will need to be made clear, not shouted like a child mad at their parents."

I think it's time to bring up Leafall and the fact that Bladetree's obviously letting his personal conflicts affect his duty and conduct.

Also use bard abilities to EMPATHIZE with Bladetree. Dude's had a shitty time of things.
