Because the other discussion thread was for Strange bedfellows and was kind of cluttered, I guess?

Either way, feel free to discuss who to eat / fuck / fuck and eat here.

Also, vote for best husbando! (I mean, there’s like only one other girl introduced yet so…)

>I guess Kaktus really liked I Am
Fun fact, I’ve actually had the idea for a eating / transforming quest thing for almost as long as I’ve done quests. Heck, there were parts of Rune that started toying with the idea before it died. While I admit there are parts of I Am in this quest (Because I Am is great), I was probably more inspired by this really old quest that I can’t remember the name of anymore. Of course, the whole shapeshifting monster that eats people is hardly a unique idea. I guess the whole “we are justice, only eat bad people” is my own spin on it?

Anyway, for that quest I can’t remember the name on, I would be grateful if someone were able to give me a name on it. Hopefully this quick description will be good enough: The protagonist is some kind of eldritch monster that can change shape, whom start off the quest by eating some elf lady who’s just found the secret treasure room he’s been hidden in. He then goes on to fight a bunch of mole men and save some fungal woman whom become the love interest. The whole thing is set in some kind of underground and there were this other huge monster thing as well I think? Oh, and paladin eating. Lots of paladin eating for some reason…

It’s just to introduce the other characters, their goals and Ema’s next meal their current problems. The character jumping will lessen a bit after this section of the quest is over… probably.

The reversed name evil twin of Kaktus thing, mentioning of vampires in the quest and Al’ucark's name reminded me of the whole silly "Dracula/Alucard" backwards name thing. "Al’ucark" sounds kinda like Hiver-ized "Alucard," which is "Dracula" backwards, so my bet is Al’ucark is the quest-world's version of a vampire. Rather likely odds considering his behavior so far. Though, I suspect I read more into his name than actually was there.

...Well, fuck. I'm deeply regretting suggesting Ema should stay with Oran and watch while he tested the blood, inadvertently putting us in a bad situation. I also regret that I wasn't fast enough to get in my post before it got to the point Ema has to choose whether to eat Oran or not. If I had then Ema might have been able to distract him and get him away from the test by flirting and claiming she is interested in him and watching was a excuse to get alone with him to get frisky. Might have worked, might have not, but I missed the chance.

Hey, stop blaming yourself for every little thing that goes wrong. You worry way too much every time something unplanned happens, you know. Instead of blaming yourself, take what is given to you with stride and find a solution instead. Especially when it come to this quest, as a rather inconsequential story written by some random guy isn’t really worth getting stressed over, trust me.

Hey, it's a chance to get an ally in on the secret. While seducing him may have solved her life-force need, it wouldn't have advanced the in-the-loop (currently: zero) allies list, which is a huge help for ensuring she doesn't go hunger-crazed.

It's pretty much certain Athena is a descendant of Briannah and Kronos or Krotos(, since they both married Bri.) Her surname is "Mediean," which is the same as the Risavian royal family's, as shown in Kronos' character profile in >>/questdis/92354. Also, the nugget of concentrated wickedness that Ema smelled deep in Athena is most likely Xuv's magic that makes a hybrid like her possible.

Now the question is how long has it been. Bri wanted to name her first daughter Beatrix, so unless she had twin daughters in this timeline that'd put Athena as a later child. Maybe the next child Briannah, Kronos and Krotos had, maybe the one several down the line, maybe Athena's a grandchild of them, or maybe even a later generation. So at the very least it'd be about twenty years since the end of Strange Bedfellows, to account for Athena being a adult, but it could also be much longer since then.

Actually, back when the wiki still said “First Day of Harvest” before it was changed to “A Feast of Souls”, the wiki described the quest as becoming an adventurer to help Prince Kronos defeat evil.

And since only 10 years have passed since the events in Thread 1, I think it’s safe to say that Kronos is still alive.

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Athena is a fake name because she wants to hide her being royalty from everyone because everyone knows that royal family members make good ransom hostages to try and get lots of money from the royal family.

>Krotos
Unfortunately, only Kronos has that ability. Any child that Krotos fathered would be a pure Varkian with a surrogate Varkian woman.....obviously with Briannah’s permission.

.....unless in between Strange Bedfellows and A Feast of Souls, they somehow found a way for Krotos to also have kids with Briannah?

Well, having in mind all this hypotheses, i believe that it could happen one of two things: She will most likely get possessed by Xuv, and she is trying to find a way to stop this, OR, that "evil aura" is just residual, and nothing will happen to her, at least not related to Xuv. I am more inclined to the latter, because Xuv was supposedly vanquished by Kronos.

I checked the wiki revision history for the A Feast of Souls page and there wasn't any description like that. But Xi said something close to that description in Boldly Coming, in >>/questarch/859367.

>And since only 10 years have passed since the events in Thread 1, I think it’s safe to say that Kronos is still alive.
But we don't know how many years it had been since the end of Strange Bedfellows before the start of the first thread of A Feast of Souls. Could have been at minimum about a decade, to fit the minimum amount of time it'd take for Athena to become a adult if she was the first or second child Briannah and Kronos (or Krotos) had. But it's also possible it was much longer time and Athena is a grandchild or great-grandchild of Bri and Kronos (or Krotos.)

>Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Athena is a fake name because she wants to hide her being royalty from everyone because everyone knows that royal family members make good ransom hostages to try and get lots of money from the royal family.
Then she's doing a piss poor job of it by not hiding her royal surname. Maybe she thinks she's far enough away from Risavia that most folk that aren't nobility wouldn't know about the Mediean royal family of Risavia. Or maybe she feels she doesn't have to hide her name.

>Unfortunately, only Kronos has that ability. Any child that Krotos fathered would be a pure Varkian with a surrogate Varkian woman.....obviously with Briannah’s permission.
I took a look at the Strange Bedfellows epilogue, and it looks like I was wrong. It appears there was just speculation and no evidence shown whether Krotos got the same power of cross-species fertility that Kronos did. But in the intervening years they coulda found out if Krotos did get the same power by just keeping Kronos from, uh, a specific position during sex if and when they wanted another child.

>>122374
And since Old Man Life swooped in and ate her and the rest of the warped Six immediately once the Rune of Eternity hiding her was gone, she's never gonna get the chance. ...However, it may have left a easy entry in Athena and Bri and Kronos' (or Krotos') offspring for a vile entity to swoop in and possess 'em. Depends on whether Xuv put a lock on the "backdoor" she put in 'em keyed to just her or not.

>Unfortunately, only Kronos has that ability. Any child that Krotos fathered would be a pure Varkian with a surrogate Varkian woman.....obviously with Briannah’s permission.
Ah, I just remembered that in Briannah, Krotos and Kronos' three-way in the epilogue, Krotos was the one, and only one, who got vaginal with Bri. It was because he didn't want to end up raising Kronos' kid if the three of 'em didn't get to marry. Krotos was also the one taking full advantage of that vaginal permission while Kronos got oral when the two's father walked in on their three-way, so him and Bri coulda conceived a child right during that. And then at the wedding, a year or less time later, Bri was already pregnant when they took their vows. So whether she, Kronos and Krotos kept the same restrictions on Kronos as they had during that first three-way up until they knew Bri was pregnant is unknown. But if they did, it'd definitively answer if Krotos had the same power as Kronos.
>>
No. 122383 ID: 91ee5f

>>122380
I don’t think Bri and Krotos would’ve been that cruel to Kronos to make him wait that long.

I think once Helios gave his approval for the wedding, Bri and Krotos took that restriction off of Kronos. But, yeah, that does make it hard to tell if Krotos got the same blessing or not.

.....then again, Beatrix was a name agreed upon by Bri and Kronos. But now that Krotos is also involved in the process of choosing a name for a baby, he might’ve had just enough influence for the child to be named Athena instead of Beatrix. Or it’s just her middle name or something like that? I don’t know.
>>

>>122383
>I don’t think Bri and Krotos would’ve been that cruel to Kronos to make him wait that long.
Ah, but it wouldn't have been as long as until the wedding, or even until Briannah's pregnancy started showing. It would have only been until a pregnancy test would have given accurate results, which, according to what Kronos thought in >>/questarch/727821, is only a few weeks. So, I'd be between two to six weeks before Kronos' restriction was lifted. That is, if those three were actually thinking about figuring if Krotos was cross-species fertile too and didn't forget about it once the three-way marriage was a go.

>.....then again, Beatrix was a name agreed upon by Bri and Kronos.
It was the name Briannah wished to give her firstborn daughter, if she ever had one. Whether the Bri in the timeline of the rewritten-world had the same wish as the Bri from before the world rewrite I don't know. But the Bri in this world carries the feelings and memories of that world's Bri and I think she would honor her wish.

Also, Kronos would want his first daughter to be named Beatrix because that's the name she had in his dream before he came back from death. Oh, and in the BTL game in Boldly Coming the names of Kronos' twin children were Beatrix and Beathor. (>>/questarch/871751) Maybe they'll be the canon names in the Strange Bedfellows world, maybe not.

>But now that Krotos is also involved in the process of choosing a name for a baby, he might’ve had just enough influence for the child to be named Athena instead of Beatrix.
"Athena" sounds like a Risavian name, like Kronos or his father name, Helios. I suspect she was named by her father (whichever one of the two brothers it was,) since Bri got to name their first child (or children, if this timeline's Bri had twins.)

I do find it notable that Athena speaks so much like Briannah, with a Zadian Empire accent and manner of speaking, even though she came from Risavia. How come it wasn't mixed and tempered with the Risavian way of speaking and accent?

Risavian didn’t have any real accent in Strange Bedfellows because it was the language focused on, just as the language that Ema speak doesn’t have an accent either, even though they are supposed to be completely different languages. So, because reasons, that’s why.

>Athena would look better with horns I think.

Yeah, that was the reason behind Xuv granting Kronos the capability of cross-species fertility. Though, since his and Briannah's children only encompass Sakkilian and Vark physical traits they don't completely look like Xuv did when she was alive (as I assume her form in >>/questarch/763477 showed.) But leaving out two pairs of eyes and one pair of arms and substituting legs for Xuv's Serpens-like lower body, Athena does look like Xuv.

I am fairly sure that a penis is not considered an extremity, but a sex organ. And i don't have an external member either. It is internal, just like the rest of my brethren.

Oran is a good example of an every day person, sort of like the hooker we came across and sort of wanted to eat. Most people in the world arn't perfect. Would someone stealing a loaf of bread to feed their children be enough for us to eat them? What if the we knew the baker's children were also starving and needed that loaf to keep their mouth's filled? Lots of grey spots and if we're not careful we might kill a good amount of common people who only have done some wrong.

This is because it started out as a side view before the crossed legs came out a bit different than I anticipated. I guess she’s turning her upper body away from her legs or something?
>Alternatively, since there's no scale reference to compare to in this image, it could be said she has a normal sized waist and that her ass, thighs, legs and tail are absolutely massive.
Or that. Her body has supposedly a very hard time putting on weight, at least in the stomach area, and Vivi needed to go somewhere, right? Geez, that’s kind of dark, actually…

It mildly irks me how much of a hard inversion attraction for Sakkalians is.

Butts 'n' boobs 'n' hips are relevant to mammals 'cause they're all part of storing calories or giving birth or breastfeeding or stuff.
Those're either not relevant or still applicable to females for reptiles.

For generic reptiles, attractive males would probably be fast and colorful; the former because males are generally smaller than females, and thus less tough, and the latter because, much like a peacock's plumage, it actually hampers them; if you can survive with ridiculous colors, you must be a real good pick to mate with.

>For generic reptiles, attractive males would probably be fast and colorful.
Sakkilian females do prefer smaller, more leaner males and there is a reason why their makeup is so colorful, after all. As for the males, larger and muscular females are generally considered better mates, while big, plumps bums are popular as they make laying larger, healthier eggs easier.
>It is like in nature, where the female animals are bigger and, in consequence the roles are different in some cases.
That is the main reasons why their gender identities are so different from ours.

The Sakkilian might have been considered one, maybe, but the Varkian would very much have been a normal, generic male bandit type.

I for one love this sort of story telling. One has to remember that everyone has motives. Few people do things just for the sake of evil. A drug dealer might be pushing to keep their children fed for instance. In the end, our main character is just as an evil being as most of the people we are eating. We just are seeing it through their eyes so we are drawn to them. If this was another story, she would be the enemy. Makes one need to think hard about actions.

The main character is a "Wraith", a shapeshifting undead creature brought about by a grave injustice. Wraiths are obsessed with bringing justice to the guilty, especially whoever was responsible for the circumstances of their creation/awakening. Wraiths are also tied to a weapon or pair of weapons, in this case a pair of swords. The swords seem to contain some sort of central guiding voice and a ton of hungry souls which sometimes threaten to push the Wraith into eating too much or too soon.
She has an urge to eat sinners, which grows stronger in the presence of those who have deeply sinned, and the hunger grows stronger over time in general to force her to regularly eat sinners. Overeating results in the Wraith growing used to overeating, increasing needs over time. The hunger can be abated somewhat by consuming blood or sexual fluids, without any negative side effects.

Thus, Ema wants to eat bad people and fuck people she doesn't want to eat.

You got that mostly right. Ema is part of a "Elder Wraith," not a plain Wraith. The Elder Wraith inhabits the ancient, indestructible blades Ema carries and is able to form full bodies itself rather than possessing those that touch the weapon it inhabits.

Duchess (fucking duh)
Vamp-Hiver (saw us drag Tana)
Prosti-Food (clearly has irons in the fire that we won't like)
Dick Guardswoman (on the "eat soon" list - because the prostitute suddenly became more urgent, you get to live yet another day)
Tunu(???) (currently friendly, but if she finds out...)
Yate(???) (obtuse as hel and not telling us everything, doubt he's one of the 3 allies)
Madame Whatsherbeak (did some shit, possibly knows what we are, if not who)

My money is on the prostitute planning to or having already sold Ema out to (Dick Guardswoman) Terroza, so if Ema followed through on a meeting with Terroza she'd be walking into a trap and ambushed.

>Yate(???) (obtuse as hel and not telling us everything, doubt he's one of the 3 allies)
I'm on the fence about Yate's position. Like, it gave the herbalist those totems of Past, Present and Future (The "Continuity Brothers" we know from Strange Bedfellows) to protect her, but are they to protect her from those three knowing of her and/or meddling with her, or protect her from those that oppose those three brothers? Is Yate one of their champions, one of their opponents, or a double-crosser one way or another? We have to find out more first.

Look, as far as I'm concerned, we dealt with a perceived threat, we chose violent actions to maximize expected success, but most importantly, it's done. I just want to talk about future actions stemming from this.

For me, this isn't about righteousness or justice. It's about making the best out of a bad situation. You're trying to state a finality of the opinions from this encounter, a sort of "absolute" in our justification of what we chose. That's what scares me; by justifying every portion of our actions with a "they deserved it" attitude, we also mask the various aspects of our decision.

You cannot perfectly describe this situation with one "I killed a bad guy" sentence, it was made of different factors and actions:
1) We recognized them as members of the guard, and chose to make them our enemies.
2) We used supernatural powers and physical eavesdropping to confirm their guilt in child murder, with minimal probability of error.
3) We had multiple pacifist options, but we perceived the guards as a threat to the safety of others, including allied forces.
4) We had the option to spare them, but doing so would add complications, the most pressing of which was time.
5) Consuming them would cause personal problems with hunger increase.
Do you doubt my train of thought?

Good, so do I. Trying to tie all of this up with a "my actions were considered good, therefore all of this was good and rational" is something you celebrate at a Deadpool movie, not real life.

You are right, if we are concern with morality painting the problem in black and white is too simplistic. I wouldn't approve this line of reasoning in the real world mostly because of the lack of Ema's supernatural moral detection.
Of course, the biggest problem with "I killed a bad guy" sentence isn't that it can't be correct, but we can't trust it to be true coming from others. Since in this case Ema would be justify her actions to herself I don't see the problem. But, if we ever try to explain to others better to stick to the facts.

Ultimately the problem isn't about interpret her actions as necessarily good, but taking responsibility for what could be though as collateral damage. Ema isn't good, she is a morally dubious monster, and her purpose is to punish the guilt, not be the hero.
It's possible that the consequences of killing murderous oppressive guards is ultimately bad because there could be other threats that justify a tyrannical regime. That doesn't matter to Ema, because her goal is to dispense justice, severe punishment for severe crimes.

Maybe a confrontation with the kid could be interesting to the story, but it's not beneficial to Ema nor to the boy, so why would Ema seek this encounter? As fas as I'm concerns she should try her best to avoid such confrontation and only face it if led by events outside her control.

So there is a decision to make about the child? This will not only make changes in the world around Ema, but probalby within Ema herself. We can influence this aspect of "monster that just enacts justice" or "someone that tries to make the right thing". I think it is an interesting view that we should keep in consideretion, for the roleplaying aspect of the story.

So do Sakkilian males have what we would consider feminine voices, and females masculine?

Is human masculinity and femininity the same as how we know it?

Which gender is dominant for Varkians? Most birds have dominant males, but the Varkians seen so far seem to indicate otherwise (or they could either just be into that or it could be a case of when in rome do as the romans do). Was Vivian really a peacock? She seemed more like a bluejay and female peacocks are usually brown.

From what I have gathered, Serpens male and females are both submissive and the third sex is the dominant one (and has a hood), is this correct?

>So do Sakkilian males have what we would consider feminine voices, and females masculine?
Sakkilian voices are rather similar to human ones, not counting that females usually have a bit deeper voices thanks to their size, though preferences are rather different. Females usually prefer males with lighter, softer voices while males prefer females with deeper voices.
>Is human masculinity and femininity the same as how we know it?
Human centric societies are generally more male dominant, though the constant exposure to the other species cultures does change things, both ways.

>Which gender is dominant for Varkians?
Neither, for the most part. They do easily change depending on outside factors, which is why they are more female dominant in a Sakkilian society as seen in Feast of Souls.
>Was Vivian really a peacock?
Vivi was blue with green tail feathers. Make of it what you will, but Varkian aren’t exactly like other species of birds, are they?
>Hang on, the Vivian thing makes sense if she was born male and had a sex change rather than being born as a female with a penis.
Vivian was born male in a female centric society, in a rather well off family that really wanted a daughter. Her parents tried to remedy this fact with magic and a strict upbringing, which left Vivi less than… well afterwards.

>From what I have gathered, Serpens male and females are both submissive and the third sex is the dominant one (and has a hood), is this correct?
While the third sex, Ovales, are generally a bit bigger than the others, Serpents generally value skill and expertise above things like looks and size. That’s why Tunu is attracted to Oran and is willing to look past his awkwardness and lack of arm, as someone with his kind of education and mind is very attractive to someone that lack one like her.

In fact, Tunu does kind of desire for Oran to be the more dominant one in the relationship, as she sees him as someone above her, but as Oran hasn’t had a lot of exposure to Serpents culture and norms (or any other norms about romance), he is a bit lost on what to do.

Hey, Kaktus, considering how the quest is starting to look like the military is redacting their secrets, I think it might be best if from now on we stay in control of Ema instead of switching to the person we want her to eat. That'll help cut down on the people purposefully sabatoging the quest.

I mean, it was an interesting mechanic when it first showed up with Tunu, but now it's getting really annoying with Terroza.

But if you really want to keep switching away from Ema, then it might be better to switch to someone that could help Ema eat whoever she's targeting.
>>
No. 126358 ID: b1b4f3

Either that, or keep these swaps short? Like, okay, seeing through the prey's eyes as they inevitably get eaten is fun for a while but the longer we stay with them the more people are going to either get bored or frustrated due to the prey not being dead yet and thus our suggestions being mostly pointless. I mean the only thing we seem to be accomplishing right now is inflicting temporary harm on the birdbrain or the glutton.

Yeah, I'm in favor of these.
The swaps can be fun, but when it's someone we're about to eat, it doesn't feel like it's doing much other than wasting time.
Playing as Drago or Oran is fine, but Soul-Vore Victim #23 tends to be rather boring because we know exactly what's gonna happen in a moment.

I personally don't see it as "sabotaging", but i do have to agree, it is getting kind of tedious, all this arguing. Making the swap of characters shorter might help. We obviously can't agree on how to interact with the antagonists.

>Kaktus, is there any real logic behind when Ema gets too hungry? It seems arbitrary and unpredictable.
The three major factors are time, power usage and sheer gluttony.
She will get hungrier over time, which is pretty obvious, but she will also need to feed more often the more she uses her powers, so things like regrowing limbs will pretty much starve her.
She will also react to the presence of really evil people, as her body really wants to enact Justice upon them and thus it makes itself hungry to force her to feed.

>Question: why aren't the swords directing Ema towards older and weaker sinners more often? Everyone she has eaten so far has been relatively young and hip.
The only one the sword is directing her towards is whoever is responsible for the slaughter of her village. As for old, evil people, they are generally people with power and not some thug running around in the street, thus making them harder targets to find. Heck, the baroness is supposed to be someone that’s beyond their middle age.

Hey, Kaktus, I enjoy your quests, but lately it feels like you're needlessly slowing things down for some reason.

Because it feels like everytime we want to do something, we're always interrupted by 9 or 10 different things all at the exact same time before we get a chance to do the 1 thing we wanted to do. Couldn't you just let us do something without any complications for once?

Like what's happening right now. All we had to do was go into Tertian's house, grab what we needed, and get out. Then we got interrupted by the bug on a drug. Now I'm just waiting for the other 8 or 9 interruptions before we can finally get what we want and leave. And then get some more interruptions before we finally get to sleep.

The main reason is probably because of my awful posting schedule recently. When everything takes something like three days to even start to resolve then even small discretions gets cumbersome. That and the bad schedule make me come up with too much unnecessary crap between updates. I hope I’ll get some motivation back and start updating more regular in the future.

>I'm somewhat off put by Athena's looks. I get she's a weird hybrid, but everyone knows that bird + lizard = velociraptor, not "normal lizard with feathers".
Personally, I’m not too happy with her either. The main problem is that she’s supposed to look like Xuv, but her design doesn’t work as well without the skull. I’ve think I’ve said it before, but she might get a design overhaul in the future if she gets a bigger role in the quest.

>Needs more foodstuff mugs. I suggest you trace over some food porn.
I might just make a few more food mugs in the future, just to enable multiple unnamed enemies in one conversation. Maybe one for each species? Hmm…
>Foodporn is the only thing that turns me on.

This quest is full of lies!

"Eat people to gain powers" is one of the main things this quest promises and yet, we haven't gotten any new powers! The only thing we got were memories of old lives, memories of people we ate, and the forms of the people we ate to turn into.

We can't even use Terroza's fire magic, even though we have her memories, because Kaktus said, "No you can't use her magic because you don't know how to use magic. But instead you can have a chance of Terroza's personality taking control of you!"

Come on! If we have Terroza's memories, then we should also have her memories of how to use her magic! Let us use her fire magic!

Or at least give us some new undead ability we can use, like being able to paralyze people from long range by locking eyes with them or being able to hypnotize someone into telling us what we want to know or just give us something so that we don't have to keep trying five hundred different things to get a single scrap of information that we need to progress the story!

You guys did choose to focus on strength at the beginning, so Ema has been steadily become stronger and a faster eater as the quest goes on. The second fight with Karn was supposed to show this off, but people didn’t want to show off any inhuman strength (Insakkilian strength?), making it a lot more even instead of the curbstomp battle it would have been. Ema has gone from just being able to throw a persona few meters and having to paralyze and slowly eat someone to ripping apart safes with her bare hands and eating people in mid-fall, after all.
>We can't even use Terroza's fire magic.
That would be something a more intelligent person would be able to do. Ema instead learned about her strength magic.
>Kaktus has been roadblocking us a lot more in this quest than in others.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I’ve not trying to go out of my way to block any path, but this quest has recently been rather slow and stale with its plot. I’ve tried to remedy this by rushing a bit through the Uredo / library thing, so we’ll see if things get a bit better.

I don't think a Varkian and Sakkilian hybrid form would be good for us to use. We'd have to keep ourselves completely covered all the time, just like Athena.

I’ve gotta agree. We’re trying to not stand out too much.

Hey, speaking of Athena, didn’t Kaktus mention giving her a design overhaul? I was thinking of how that could be explained in the quest and I thought of something.

She was looking for transformation potions in Oran’s shop, right? What if they weren’t for making her look like a regular Sakkilian? Maybe the potion is for keeping her current hybrid form? And when the potion wears off, she changes back to her normal form, which can be Kaktus’ new overhauled design for her.

How does that sound?

With how much he was away from Dalriver, it's possible that he put his family there to keep 'em safe from whatever he was doing. Considering the quote from the start of thread 4, he may be (or have been) a vampire hunter or he's (or was) somehow involved in destroying or attempting to enslave Yate's kind.

Of course this is a whole lot of speculation and it might just pan out that he was a travelling merchant or some other benign job that kept him away from his family and Dalriver for almost all the time back then.

Of course Oran still refuses to change. Even after all the warnings, he's still being an idiot. He even refused to change when we were controlling him that one time!

It's almost like Kaktus is purposefully making Oran act like an idiot because he doesn't want us to try and help certain characters become better people.

Before we make a big mistake rushing Justina out of the home of the vampire she just banged, I'm going to remind everyone that the city has a nighttime curfew due to folk disappearing after dark. Said disappearances are most likely due to vampires or city guards nabbing folk to sell 'em to the vampire nobility.
