Nem: Oh, hello Macha.


Macha: The hell have you been ignoring me for?

Nem: I was busy.

Macha: With WHAT?!

Nem: WITH THINGS.

Macha: I NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE WOUND WHO COULD BE THE FREDDY POX!

Nem: I WAS VERY BUSY WITH THINGS OR I WOULD HAVE ANSWERED!

Macha: WHAT WAS SO BLOODY IMPORTANT?!

Nem: I WAS HAVING A BLOODY ORGASM, ARE YOU HAPPY?!

There is a pause.

Macha: NEXT TIME INVITE ME!

Nem: IT WAS AN UNPLANNED ORGASM!

There is another awkward silence.

Macha: So what do you want me to do? I think the bloody wound suspects me.

Nem: Return for now. I don't think it'd be wise for you to directly interfere without a cover and even then... we might not want to risk violence in this kind of domain. I need to come up with some sort of plan.


Nem turns to Barry and Lilly.

Nem: May I be excused? I have to take care of something.

Lilly puts her hands on her hips and begins to object but Nem fixes her with a look that lets her know that this isn't anything to do with the previous discussion. Lilly shrugs.

Barry: It's your house, Nem.

Nem: I know, but you are my guests and I don't want to appear rude.

Barry: Do whatcha have to, baby.

Nem opens her mouth to correct him but then smirks, nods and goes out into the hallway, closing the door behind her. Macha is waiting in wolf form. Nem sighs, sits down and leads against the wall. Macha sits next to her, and Nem pets her on the head.

Macha: I hate that I like that. So what is our plan?

Nem: We're going to have to council with our friends.

Macha: Oh buggahfae. You know what that eejit Kome suggested?

Nem: Sssh. We don't know anything about 'dating sims'. We'll need their help.

Macha: You're distressed. What's happening with Barry and Lilly?

Nem: She confessed she loved him.

Macha: Shite.

Nem: And me.

Macha: What? Is she mad?

Nem: She says she'll be fine because it's OK if I only love her as a friend back, and even the love of friendship will keep her from dying of heartbreak.

Macha: We both know that's a load of shite, otherwise the fact that Barry picked you first wouldn't have bothered her.

Nem: I don't think it bothers her as much now as it did then. She seems to have decided that she loves us.

Macha: Do you love her?

Nem: As a friend, certainly. I've never met anyone quite like her. Every half-blood story I've heard has the fae give up immortality for a single loved one. She's done it for friendship.

Macha: Wait, she's gone and decided already?

Nem: Yes.

Macha: She *is* like nobody else. You weren't intimate with her while I was away, were you? I quite liked that bit with the portal. I would *hate* to miss out, Nem.

Nem: It was more of the same, and wasn't my idea. It's the damn panties.

Macha: We both know damn well the damn panties are just responding to your own bloody urges. Wait... why are we out here? You're not just giving up on Barry are you? How many bloody times do we have to play the martyr?!

Nem: Would you risk Lilly's life for it?

Macha is quiet for a few minutes.

Macha: ... I just want to be born, Nem. He could have made a good father.

Nem: I know.

The two of them are quiet before Macha shakes her head and shorts.

Macha: Plan, Morrigan. We need a plan.

Nem: Spirits? What do you think?

What do you suggest?

A. We have to eliminate Freddy as soon as possible. Nem points out she can't use the persona of the Black Wolf because Freddy's not immortal -- it will literally be her murdering Freddy as far as the Domain is concerned, but you're sure that it's the way to go. Nem will act separately away from Lilly to ensure that even if things go badly, Lilly will remain a 'hero' within the Domain. It has a definite chance of wrecking her relationship with Barry and a slight chance of causing this Domain to break down. As a risky suggestion, it will require a victory with at least 6 votes to convince Nem this is the way to go.

B. We have to eliminate Freddy, but we'll do so in a way that makes it look like 'an accident' from the Domain's perspective -- probably during the 8PM festivities. It could change the tone of the Domain to be more hostile, but it should preserve Barry's relationship with Nem. As a risky suggestion, this requires a victory of at least 3 votes.

C. We don't have to eliminate Freddy, we just have to make sure Barry doesn't reciprocate her feelings or at least doesn't try to incorporate her in the 'harem'. You will have to provide some idea of HOW though -- and be careful of making Lilly or Nem look like the crazy clingy girlfriend types.

D. Clearly it's whoever bangs Barry first. You'll need a 6 vote victory to suggest Nem do it; 3 vote victory for Lilly.

E. Is there some other plan? Maybe if you can figure out who that 'other close by presence' is it will help you figure out what to do?

F. Some other idea? _____________

>Nem: I WAS HAVING A BLOODY ORGASM, ARE YOU HAPPY?!
>Macha: NEXT TIME INVITE ME!
LOL
>Nem: IT WAS AN UNPLANNED ORGASM!
LOL^2

B - I don't know dating sims. They're weird, counter-intuitive, and anyone trying to apply them in the real world would get a restraining order and/or a gavel to the face. What I do know is horror movies and games - Serial Killers like Freddie tend to level the playing field in their favor, preventing reinforcements of actual competent fighters and limiting the number of objects that can be effectively used against the killer, ensuring that it's near-impossible for a survivor to kill the adversary with frontal-combat or even guerrilla tactics. Talking will also be ineffective, as they've used the adrenaline highs from their murders to strengthen the shields protecting any weak frayed wires in their mind.

Assassins, however, are another story. I can't recall a single instance of an assassin with meager but sufficient supplies getting their ass kicked by a Serial Killer at their best. So playing the role of an assassin - getting Xylina in a car accident, or overdosed on drugs, or just plain drunk and killed by something stupid, would make sense as a High School Tragedy That Brings People Together and whatever stuff needed for the dating sim bull^&*(.

E, lets figure out that other presence first. (It's probably Red). After that we can probably get away 'convincing' the domain that xylina is a yandere, thereby winning the scenario

>>874528
It's not Red.

>>874511
I recommend E. We require more information.

Also, as an alternate plan F, if we could somehow get Freddie to break character and reveal herself as evil, that would make her a viable target.

Remember, Barry's a fan of Undertale. Revealing Freddie to be an evil and super-powerful being like Flowey would allow us to destroy her directly without backlash.

>>874715
If you choose "E" you need to take a stab at who the presence is. This is a presence close only to you; Nem can't detect it.

>Nem: IT WAS AN UNPLANNED ORGASM!
The best kind!

>You're not just giving up on Barry are you?
Are you? I mean one way this could end is Lily with Barry and Lily with Nem as friends-with-benefits. But Nem ending up with Barry at Lily's expense isn't the only other possibility. You might not be up for a threesome now, but polyarmous relationships do exist, and we know Barry was fine being with multiple spooky girls before.

>what do
So we're confident that the catgirl is Freddy? I notice checking up on her or confirming it isn't an option.

I'm thinking outright killing a rival is a bad idea, it breaks the usual rules of an h-game, and potentially puts things on a crazy path. So no A. Maybe B, if we have to.

I'm thinking C is the way to go. We need to sabotage catgirl's chances.

Nem's supposed to be her friend, which might provide a chance to get close to her and to try and find an angle to exploit. Which would be really mean, if she wasn't a fake person, driven around by an evil Freddy.

>>874776
Could it be Rekki? one of the cats? I'm trying to figure out who would be connected enough to Nem to be here. Zome maybe??

>>874868
Waaaaaaait the whole original problem was basement girl getting in to Barry's head via the eyballs. Nikki, you around?

>>874868
>>874869
None of those. It was never stated that the presence was close to Nem.

>>875018
Oh... Heckin Jaja? Did Freddie getting out bring him back too?

>>874776
>stab at who the presence is.
Why are we trying to stab them?! This isn’t Yandere Simulator! We can’t just go around stabbing people!

I'm not good at piecing clues together, so I pick C.
The most direct way to do that is to mess with his perceptions again by reminding him how much he trusts them and doesn't trust Freddy. Probably.

Maybe the subtle approach is better, but it's what I would do.

Nem: OK, so we have to keep Freddy out of the picture. I'm not quite sure if we have any methods to do that without looking a little crazy. I mean if a potential girlfriend stabbed her friends in the back just to make sure she had you to yourself, wouldn't YOU look at her funny? As long as she's alive, free or in one piece she can try to win his favour.

I could try to hack the Barry construct but it's very risky -- he's an avatar which means I mess with him directly and I get the real Barry's attention. His mind will probably view it as an assault, maybe kick me out.

I could try to keep Freddy away from Barry. She'll probably resist but I don't know how. The more desperate she gets the less predictable she'll be. If she attacks me outright it should more or less finish her. The hard part will be cornering Freddy. She knows something's up.

The only other thing I can think of is ... unusual. I'll have Macha 'hold my place' here. While she does that, I'll leave the Domain and go back to the real, physical Barry. I'm not sure what will happen to you if I do -- I'm not sure if you'll transfer back to him or stay with me. But if I go to him and do something meaningful and physical, it should sway things in our favour back here. But if I do that, I'm afraid it will affect Lilly's chances even more. And no matter what she says, she has feelings for him. She wants to be number one in his heart, and this will ruin it for her. I could try to allow us BOTH to travel but then it's Macha alone to protect Barry and I'm not sure how well she will do.


Macha: 'Cause he doesn't love me. And I don't act like Nem. And I don't LIKE acting like Nem. But it'll let Lilly have her shot.

Nem: So those are the four ideas. They're all risky, just in different ways.

What do you suggest?

1. Hack Barry. There is a chance it could go badly and kick Nem from the domain, and it could have long-standing repercussions on their relationship. However if it works, it will definitely lock Freddy out and the group should be able to finish her.

2. Isolate Xylina from Barry. Nem will have to run constant interference and hopefully she really is Freddy and will do something stupid. Lilly will protect Barry. The risk here is locating and staying on Xylina.

3. Have Macha hold Nem's place and Nem go back to the physical Barry to lock Freddy out of this scenario. Nem will inform Lilly of the plan. She won't do it if Lilly won't agree to it, and this could have an impact on all three relationships.

4. Have Macha hold Nem's place and Nem will take Lilly back to physical Barry to lock Freddy out of this scenario. This should preserve their relationships but it could give Freddy an opportunity to act while Nem and Lilly are out of the picture.

5. Change your mind; choose a different plan of action (Kill Freddy directly or via 'accident', or seduce Barry instead).

6. Hold off until you can get a lock on who this extra presence is. Nem doesn't know what you mean but she will be patient until you figure out who it is.

6, 3, 1, in that order of operations.

Sorta-2. Let's have Nem go see Xylina. Before we attempt to isolate her and lock our efforts into that, let's see if you can confirm our suspicions, or at least find anything that reinforces them.

Gonna say I don't like any ideas that involve sending either of you back to the real world yet. If it goes wrong it means we're undermanned (underspookygirled) in here. And we've had enough venue changes.

Nem: I tend to lean towards keeping an eye on Xylina too. But you wanted to try to identify a presence? That's fine, it gives me time to think about how I want to approach this.

You consider the possible presences...

You know it is not:
- Rekki
- A Cat
- Red
- Jaja
- Nikki

Do you have any other ideas of who the presence could be? You know it is someone close to YOU -- not Nem.

>>876568
Barry.

>Do you have any other ideas of who the presence could be? You know it is someone close to YOU -- not Nem.
Sami? Amy? Spike and Kitty? A Johnny? Razzay? The Cats?

Jimmy? Emily? (BTW are they married yet?) The Administrator? Your mom? Your dad? Your dead grandparents? I don't think it's Baba Yaga. Someone you went on a date with? Someone you discussed porn with?

If it's one of us I'm going to stare at you impolitely.

Barry.

You realize your connection with him was never severed.

You may be in a dream within a dream, but he is there and you are still with him. With that startling realization, a long buried memory digs itself to the surface and shares itself with you.

Years ago. You were just a child when she first appeared to you. How could anyone look like that and be such a terrible danger?

She was so charming back then. She was what you considered at the time the perfect woman -- a catgirl from your animes. She was cute and playful. She listened to you daydreams, she listened to your problems.

Your vividly remember your first sexual dream about her. The softness of her skin, the coolness of her body, her icy breath, the taste of mint from her lips. Her hair smelled of vanilla. She was gentle. She touched you in ways nobody else had before, and you were able to touch her in places you were taught not to touch a woman.

In the morning, you had an embarrassing stain to get rid of with an odd smell. It wasn't until much later that you realized that it wasn't any ordinary dream and there was an additional, otherworldly musk to the mess in addition to your own.

It wouldn't be until you had been with a human girl that you would realize that a woman was hot inside, smelled differently, and was more... sensitive.

With that, you KNOW Xylina is actually Freida "Freddy" Falcone. You know what she did. You remember how she changed. The innocent face, the carefree and often flippant attitude, the veiled threats, suspecting what she did and the warnings about keeping the secret. How your relationship shifted to be one of increasing pressures, manipulation, mounting guilt and finally the utter desperation to be rid of her because you knew what she did, all the while still pining for her deep in your heart.

You know what she did. You know what she could do. You know what she wanted to do.

She pronounced a final judgement that outweighed the crimes. She murdered your best friend. Finally, you know now she was priming you so she could steal your body and soul.

You know what she did.

Barry's internal mantra repeats and repeats and folds in onto itself again and again and again, becoming harder and stronger and sharper each time.

The idea is malleable and flexible as it is strong and dangerous. You may form this into a weapon to use against Freddy.

Please suggest a form for this weapon.

A. Katana
B. Shotgun
C. An eye
D. Something else?

>>876600
A bone, scortched to ash and tinged with brimstone. The embodiment of Freddy's inevitable demise.
Alternatively, a wolf-fang blade - the embodiment of your professional and personal mission to end Freddy for Barry.

A. A simple no-nonsense Katana should fit in with the current domain and if we wanted to be extra cheesy, it could look like something from either the monster hunter franchise or kill bill.

>>876600
A. Gennedy Tartakovsky style. Finish this.

>>876600
A. Time to finish it .

A. A schoolgirl with a katana sure is anime.

You realize that forming the weapon will shatter this dream and reunite the group with Red. At this point, you can give this weapon to one of three people and they will know what to do. Each possible wielder will alter Barry's in some way when they finish this job.

Who shall wield the weapon?

A. Lilly - Although she's not really a practicing demon anymore, there are aspects of her heritage she can't suppress. Lilly will be able to completely cure Barry's condition -- but there will be a price.
B. Barry - Thanks to the group's efforts and your connection, Barry is now strong enough to expel Freddy himself. He won't be able to completely cure his condition, but he can gain some control over it -- at a price.
C. Nem - As an agent of change, she will definitely end Freddy and Barry's condition. As she represents change however, certain other things will change between her and Barry as well as a result.

B: the man has been abused and exploited by this fucked up spooky bitch. PUT HER DOWN!

C. Nem. If there's one person who's place it is to put down monsters, it's her.

Maaaan hard to make informed decisions based on this little information, but my instinct is Barry. All other factors being equal, that boy needs some spooky of his own if he is gonna be hanging out with all these spooky girls.

>>876686
Nem.
This is HER job. This is HER duty.
She can't foist it off on Lily, and let Lily suffer the guilt for any side effects, and having Barry fend for himself when she KNOWS it won't fully cure him isn't an option.

C. It has to be Nem. This is her burden.

C - Nem's the professional huntress here, she has the highest probability of success. If it screws up her relationships by gorning Freddy and laughing about it in front of Barry? That's just the cons of a high-grade job.

BTW how much is Nem objectively paid?

>>876690
Also, if I was gonna vote for Barry, I would have voted for the shotgun, not the bladed weapon.

Same suggestor, different ID.

>>876686
Give the boy the gun. Give him some semblance of control back to his life.

>>876724
That'd be a question for Inside the Quest - https://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/97324.html

C. We shouldn't risk Barry's life, especially after all the different ways his life has already been risked by, say Lilly.

The world begins to fold in upon itself as your weapon focuses. It becomes a scorched bone, tinged with the bitter, burning smell of brimstone.

The surroundings melt away. The other characters fade. And you are face to face with Freddy, as she looked when you first met her.

Barry reaches out to the weapon and clutches it. Freddy stares at him in horror.

Nem: Barry, this is my burden.

Barry shakes his head.

Barry: You got enough shit to deal with. I'm taking my life back.

Instead of letting go or trying to take it from him, Nem simply slides her hand down around his.

Nem: Together, then.

Freddy: NO! NO WAIT!

Freddy can't run. Macha, Lilly and Red cover all escape routes. The world has folded, she has nowhere to go.

You grasp one shoulder. Nem takes the other. And together, you drive the scorched weapon through Freddy's heart.

Her death is anticlimactic; you expected screams, fire, brimstone, the horrible smell of burnt flesh and hair. At the very least, you expected a sound.

There is none. Freddy's presence is just... gone.

And the world fades.

You are briefly alarmed at how everything dissolves, but then realize it's because you're still bonded to Barry. So you're simply shifting from the world within to the world outside -- Nem, Lilly and Red probably took the door they entered.

As you come to your senses, you're surrounded by smiling faces. Nem kisses you on the forehead.

Nem: Welcome back... baby.

Goodness Nem is white. But she's trying, bless her.

Lilly gives you a big smooch.

Lilly: Bear-bear. We made it!

Red and M beam at you from the sidelines.

Red: Confirmed kill. You're in the clear. Actually there's a good chance you could be better than clear -- the boss tends to like dramatic shit like that. Might put you on the protected list. I'll let you guys know as I find out shit.

M takes your hand.

M: Congratulations Barry! Everything is clear from my end as well. You did admirably, love.

** YOU HAVE SURVIVED THE SPOOKY DATE QUEST! **

You might still have remnants of the curse's infection
but without Freddy's influence Nem informs you that you are definitely in the clear.

Not only have you survived, but you also managed to protect your relationship with Nem!
