Its always some level of nuts in this thread, and this moment does not disappoint.
All kinds of things have happened, the result of which is that with over a week passing in meat-space the party is still right where they left off at.
Tracy is venturing to the mountains with her floofy-faced, hutungous birbs in an oversided wagon, hoping to give them a chance to have a moment with their biological father.
Trump, for some reason, is quite butt-hurt by this. What? Its true,....
Thez is enjoying the first decent night's sleep in over a week, Infernius contemplates (((genocide))) (does it work in that context? I mean he's contemplating their genocide of course), and Torcuil learns that Death is a pretty cool chick with a morbid sense of humor in an absurd job that you wouldn't think is a job, but its literally a job. So yeah, next time he wants to hit her up, just blow ur brains out or something.
Last thread got to over 1800 posts <trumpet fanfare> but that shit is impossible on mobile and cumbersome at best otherwise so,....
1402 replies and 180 files omitted.
>>54235Tracy's interest begins to waiver as she finds that there's nothing to be stabbed. She wanders for a little bit before she considers turning back.
Is there anyone at the mill at the moment?
>>54236"Remind me to teach you shanties later"
>>54238"Eh, that'll work"
>continues singing shanties >>54234I cant stop listening to this song now. It’s so catchy!
>>54238Yeah, to punish the drunk sailor. The captain would be pissed.
>>54239Yes, there is a complete idiot with no ability to regulate the volume of his voice. His name is Jerry, feel free to chat with him.
>>54242"'Sup?" Tracy asks out of boredom, hoping she won't regret asking
[1d20 = 4]>>54243I haven't decided yet.
>>54244"Hey there, what's up?" he says, leaning expertly on his broom.
>>54245"'Nothin' really. I just heard some rumors about people disappearing around here. I figured I'd check to see if anyone was poaching my- I mean - disturbing the peace." Tracy says, with a slight stutter
>>54247"Oh yeah! Eric hasn't been here for like 5 days now! I MEAN NORMALLY HE'S CONSISTENT AND RELIABLE, but I don't know. Maybe he got caught up, YOU KNOW? RIGHT?" He laughs excessively at his own humorless comment.
>>54249Tracy's ears flatten against her head momentarily at the outburst, but she still appears interested
"..So.. This Eric guy, where was he last seen?"
>>54253Jerry proceeds to supply all kinds of excessive details and anecdotes about people who Tracy has no idea of. First its Cody, then its Austin, then its Jose, then its not that Jose, its the other Jose,....
After about a 5 minute - and very loud - exploration of every little detail Jerry could think of, Tracy realizes that he has told her absolutely nothing of value, but without realizing it. He seems quite pleased.
>>54248"Sounds like negros be good at that."
>>54256"Nah, mainly merchants. I don't know if the negros had any well known work songs..."
It wouldn't a massive fucking pointless argument if Tracy killed Jerry, will it? That's what she'd normally be inclined to do.
Tracy's eye twitches with irritation for a moment, as she considers putting a knife through Jerry before leaving, but then stops realizing that that would make it even more complicated to search for a missing person.
"Bye." Tracy says flatly, as she walks out of the mill in a huff.
>>54258What race is jerry?
>>54257"Are the (((merchants))) or merchants hou are talking about?"
>>54259By all appearances and indication, he's a white guy
>>54259"Good merchants. The kinds with the big ass boats, and not big ass noses. Think Pirates with less stealing"
>>54258Why didn't you ask Slovenia or Alan? They actually know shit and aren't annoying
Tracy goes back towards the tower to check out her ogre corpse.
>>54019Can she check out that item?
>>54262Well, I assumed neither were there, since they weren't listed when Tracy looked around.
>>54263Normally Alan will ask "who the fuck are you, why are you here, and what do you want" any time you near the mill. Probably worth asking where the guy lived or frequented, since that could get to the next location for clues
>>54264Tracy does that before she leaves then.
>>54265 now is as good a time as any to get there, right? Stix wanders inside the mill.
>>54266Yeah, sure. It'd be easy enough to get there.
So what is it? Did she leave after talking to Jerry? Is she sticking around to find
Adam?
>>54266What is Styx looking for in particular?
>>54269Tracy would've looked to see if there was anyone else worth talking to before she left.
>>54267“So, how goes it?”
Slowly takes in the surroundings.
>>54269Tracy told Stix to look for the carpenter here to learn more skills, such as crafting.
>>54271"Haven't found very much so far.." Tracy says as she steps away from the talkative hoo-man
>>54272Stares at the human a bit and says to him:
“And you don’t know anything?”
>>54273Jerry very loudly says the exact things he told Tracy, which was all of nothing (unless you count anecdotes about the one time they attended a festival a few years back, and other useless facts), proving that no he does not know anything. Its not that he doesn't know anything, its that he has no filter and he doesn't realize that all the information he offers is irrelevant and inconsequential.
>>54274Is Tracy able to find Adam?
>>54275"No, its the weekend. He'll probably be at the Rusty Duck."
>>54276Tracy peeks around to see if Slovenia is there.
>>54274“Well, tell Austin that he needs to take a break now and then. He is going to overwork himself at this rate.”
>>54279Pretending to have actually listened
>>54277Turns to Tracy
“So, do we check out this Rusty... Duck was it? What kind of name is that?”
[1d100 = 27]>>54280Got it
>>54277Slovenia seems to have taken the trebuchet out for some target practice.
Also, the item Tracy got was an Oil, wrapped in a piece of leather hide to prevent breaking. It was obviously too small for a Ogre to use.
>>54281"Let me see how Woody's doing first. It's been a while since we've spoke."
>>54282Tracy heads towards the testing grounds, or wherever it is Slovenia does her target practice.
>>54284Waves goodbye to Jerry and follow Tracy, curious to meet this carpenter.
Alright, enough of that divegrass nonsense.
>>54284>>54285Just outside the wall around the Mill is the testing area, where Slovenia briskly gives direction to two of the Fight Club survivors. Tracy and Styx arrive just as a boulder explodes against a large rock outcropping a fair distance down the field.
>>54268"Well imagine capitalist pirates. Instead of stealing they buy and sell stuff depending on where it's needed."
>>54286"'Sup, Woody." Tracy says, turning to watch the dust settle in the distance
"Machinery working well?"
>>54286Studies the device that launched a rock and wonders how come he didn’t think to try making one, it seems possible to be made out of found materials in the forest.
>>54287"That's just taking advantage of arbitrage"
>>54290"You're sounding like a commie right about now."
>>54287This is your fault you know
https://youtu.be/i8ju_10NkGY>>54288"Oh, Tracy! TRACY!" she runs up and hugs Tracy. "This device is
wonderful! I've never seen anything like it, but its so remarkably simple. And watch!" she says as a humanoid figure made out of watermelons is placed in the target area. The Watermelons have "Will" written on the torso. Just as she's about to launch, she stops and looks at Tracy. "You try," she offers, with an enthusiastic look on her face.
>>54292"With pleasure." Tracy says, grinning as she takes a moment to inspect the device and see how the controls work
>>54292"This guy right here is named Stix. He just arrived at the tower."
>>54293Tracy launches the trebuchet.
>>54295https://youtu.be/DoBwoaWmQHw>>54296With a loud <WHUDDDDD> the mechanism releases, sending the boulder soaring high overhead,... eventually coming down and absolutely obliterating the target dummy in question.
"I... imagine if that was a person," Slovenia says with a wistful look in her eyes. "Oh I'm sorry, please forgive me. Stix is it (is it with an I or a Y?)? It is good to meet you. I'm frequently called Slovenia, but the millers have taken to call me 'the saw horse'," she says with a bit of pride.
>>54298Trebuchet memes are the best memes.
>>54297We've always been cancerous m8
example
>>54297>psychicYou have no idea
>>54301Ah, the flag shenanigens. We should do that again one of these days.
>>54299>the saw horseTOPKEK
She looks like a recolored Fleur-de-lis btw, with bits of sawdust in her mane.
>>54299What is this weeb ass shit?
>>54303Reeeee! GM said she also has the pink hair.
>>54304LOL
That is /jp/'s goal horn. Its epic troll-worthy
>>54302I get extra autistic when my flag gets changed desu.. Like with those Schulz shenanigans.. That's actually why I never bothered with a custom flag.
Sounds like a lot of fun. >>54299 Stix with an I “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I was told you are the best carpenter all around and know about the forest area. I figure your the one to talk to in order to get used to the land.”
>>54305Nah, then she'd look just like Fleur-de-lis. No fun having an exact clone as a character.
>>54299I can't believe I watched that whole video..
>>54307I stopped using a custom cuz A. I lose it anyway anytime I reset my browser, and B. Cuz if I ever need to distinguish myself in thread I can just blow someone up or something.
The weird thing is I feel more compelled to post when I have a custom flag. Weird. Oh well, if I ever feel like being a nuisance I'll get another one. ^_^
>>54308"Well its no wonder, these humans have never worked with Unicorn magic before. Speaking of which, are you,... also from Equestria?"
>>54309Well she's obviously unique in personality. What does it matter if she has a nice fitting mane color rather than something ugly?
>>54310“Yes. Though, I don’t seem to remember too much of it at the moment. I bet it has something to do with coming here in the manner I did.”
>>54311I prefer the blue mane and amber eyes.
>>54312"I see. Was your arrival,... adverse? Mine was. I did not find my way into the company of Tracy and her allies until a long while had passed. You're fortunate to have arrived here rightly,... this world is not like Equestria," she says, recalling undesirable treatment.
>>54314“I wish I could remember, but I am told I died to arrive here. I suppose that is correct, however, all I remember is working for a client by clearing out some land of magical creatures.”
Steps a little closer to the device
“Very nice contraption, what do you call it?”
>>54316"Its a Trebuchet. The skinny, nerdy-looking guy came up with the design. That reminds me!" she <BANG> teleports away. Not long afterward she <BANG> teleports back holding a heavily scribbled-on piece of graphing paper. "Hive viss dho himmm," she says, offering Tracy the piece of paper. "Since the Trebuchet doesn't involve gunpowder or an impact force to launch, it should be possible to make explosive shots!"
>>54317“Very interesting. I can’t say I’m the best engineer, but I do like to build with wood.”
Draws on the dirt with his hoof to better picture how the parts go together
“Explosive shots you say? Got a lot of problems that need such ammunition?”
>>54317Tracy accepts the piece of paper and reads it.
"I heard Eric went missing recently. Was wondering if there was anything dangerous crawling around these parts."
>>54318She looks at Stix for a moment, clearly drawing conclusions in her head about the degree of explanation he's had so far. "Yes," she says, like that is an understatement. "I'll show you the blue-prints if you like."
>>54319"I had heard. I almost didn't notice he was missing. He's one of my favorite people when he's not around. Hopefully he makes a habit of it," she says dismissively.
>>54322“If you don’t mind me seeing them, I would love to. I can’t wait to see what kinds of other ways I could build a machine like this.”
>>54322Tracy, like the mare she is, seems to lose all interest in Eric after realizing he wasn't going to be missed by anyone.
"Alright then, just checking-in to see if anyone was poaching hoo-man resources." She says, turning to leave, remembering she still had shabby's body in her sack
"I had some business back at the tower, I hope you wouldn't mind if I left this blue guy with you for a bit?"
>>54324"Poaching? Not that I know of, but I'll let you know if I hear anything. That's fine, I'm glad you stopped by. Let me know what Torcuil thinks of the designs," she says with an eager smile.
Fucking lightning.
>>54325"Sure, I'll let him know." Tracy says, as she trots off towards the tower.
>>54320At least she mentioned Torcuil...
>>54328“Although you don’t miss your worker, your still down one, correct? Need any help around this place?”
>>54330REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>54331"I wouldn't say we're one down necessarily. Alot of these faggots have gotten used to overly spreading out the workload. TBH, its more of a blessing than anything."
>>54329Exploding Trebuchet Shots
>>54333Can i roll to come up with a concept?
>>54333God I wish my character were there
>>54334Please stop that shit
>>54334Sure. Rolls for ingenuity will receive penalties or bonuses depending on how familiar the character is with the subject matter.
>>54335Im helping with us with it,pal
>>54333 checked “Well, if you need me to do anything, just ask.”
Turns attention to the forest
“And mind if I check out your forest?”
