    Well, Zuleika said she needed to think, and when do you think more clearly than when you're on your feet with a scythe in hand and yeah let's go to the fighting tournament. We've managed to make it to the final round, now who's our opponent?

    [IMG]

    ... known far and wide... Oh, Chael, you're so mysterious.

    [IMG]

    Actually, you can. If it looks like you're gonna lose, there's a "Forfeit" option. I'm sure it's there for a reason, but I don't really think about it because Zuleika never loses.

    [IMG]

    Oh, come on, Chael. Taking up arms against Zuleika is how you met her in the first place! Oh, so romantic <3

    Okay, forget that. Time to fight.

    [IMG]

    This is what he says when he attacks :c

    [IMG]

    Undefeated!! Chael managed to take Zuleika's health down quite a bit, but we've won the World Martial Arts Tournament 9th Annual Fighting Competition with 1,000 Gold to show for it.

    One last little itty bitty update (ish) before I gotta go. Just like with the fighting tournament, this is the last dance competition as well. It's not the last dance, per se, but it is the last dance where we get to pick our dance partner. And since we've finally got all four guys available to us, I figured I'd leave it up to vote (since there hasn't really been a lot of that in this thread).

    [IMG]

    If nobody votes I'll close my eyes and pick one randomly we'll just default to Chael. And, no, I have no idea why Nefferon's available. But he is.
  3. Madar Foxfire Already Beat BF's New Expansion

    Hell, let's go with Duren or Nefferon just because we can.

  4. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    Oh my gosh YESSS!!

    Could you dance with Nefferon for kicks because it would be hilarious just so we could see it? We've danced with Chael many times before and since we're on his route we'll dance with him into happily ever after again soon I'm sure.

    I'm pretty sure this is the "dance with someone with enough relationship points for the good end, or someone with not enough relationship points for the bad end" point, right?

    Dance with Chael, but I wouldn't object to you showing what happens if you dance with the other guys, as well.
  6. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    You can get a bad ending by not dancing with him this time? Dang it. If that's the case I vote Chael instead... I still want to see a dance with Nefferon though.

    That's just my educated guess! (Partly based on what happened to me when I tried to play.)

    This isn't the final dance, actually. The final dance for the competition, yes, but not that last dance ingame.

    Sorry if I was vague about that ^^;;
  9. Davian Korran Hatoful Pigeon

    What I don't get is why it matters who wins the fight between you and Chael fiscally XD. I'd assume you share money pool.

    Let's dance with Chael!
  10. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    But Chael doesn't like to share his precious things.

    I think it matters just because of honor bragging rights... I mean, Chael is a "master assassin" or whatever that is known throughout the land, and so obviously if you're Kirile or Zuleika you're gonna want to fight and beat him at some point just so you can never let him live it down. Sure, it'll probably annoy him, but it's worth it because he's cute when he's irritated.

    See? Worth it.

    Well I think it's cute...

    (Don't get me wrong, though, I totally see your point.)

    Looks like Nefferon and Chael are tied, so I decided to go ahead and dance with

    [IMG]

    Yup, Nefferon. What? I've never danced with him before, and at least he looks like he's dressed for dancing (sort of). Even if it is just his default outfit.

    Let's see what a huge jerk he is!

    [IMG]

    Wait, what? Oh, I see. Keeping your enemies close and trying to lower Zuleika's guard with flattery, huh?

    [IMG]

    First step: easy.

    [IMG]

    Second step: also easy. But why is he being so nice? This is the evil emperor, after all. Where's his Palpatine side?

    [IMG]

    GHFAHHGRAFHwhat

    Well, whatever. We won the competition, which gets us another one thousand. Thanks for helping to fund the revolution, Your Majesty c:

    EDIT: And don't worry, there's still one more dance where we'll have Chael as a partner.
  12. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    He is SO on board for this revolution! XD

    Yay! We finally see Nefferon again! Although, it's not the way I was expecting we'd see him again when I first started reading this LP. I was thinking the next time we saw him we'd be in his bedroom about to end him.

    But in all seriousness I agree that he's faking kindness. He has the words "I'm totally acting" written all over his face! ...That, or he's bored to death with life and smiling at the same time. Creep.

    Gotta warn you guys in advance, I'm pretty tire right now, so if this update consists of a lot of apsdlepwfnjdvna, I apologize.

    After running around to the church, the library, and the practice hall, Zuleika finally decided to meet up with the guys.

    [IMG]

    Uh, nevermind. Make that Chael. What happened to Kirile?

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    Despite the fact that he was a perfect gentleman during the dance competition. I mean, yeah, there's all that business with the soldiers and the villagers and the attacks, but that's just... Yeah, alright, that's pretty messed up. Especially considering Zuleika was Osirus' angel, not Nefferon's (that would be Duren).

    That sounds kinda like, "We need to talk." Chael, if you break up with Zuleika now, I will be so mad and then we'll just take Kirile to the ball

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    What? No! Think of how great it would be if Zuleika made her big entrance with a prince on either arm.

    [IMG]

    Yeah, well... I guess that makes sense. But... But...

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    Come on, Chael. You know Zuleika would look like a baller with both you guys at the ball.

    Lastly for tonight, a status report update. This is actually the last one we'll see, since from this point on we're on track for the End Game. And since that's the last town we'll visit before the big ball, I blew all our cash on stat-boosting items.

    [IMG]

    But you have to admit, those are some nice stats.

    Chael, we are taking you to the ball, and we'd better get a happy ending!

    Yes. Why is there no harem ending??? /said Nerys about every game ever
  17. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    Awww, Chael why are you making that face? Of course you'll be picked!

    ...Oh gosh, where's Kirile and what face is he making?

    Strangely enough, Chael is the one who talks to you at the Inn regardless of who's route you're on. Which really makes me wonder, what happened to Kirile?
  19. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    Hmm... Well that's strange. Maybe if you choose Kirile(on his own route of course) you try to find him and then when you do the two share a cheesy romantic moment together. And it goes along the lines of "Why are you here? I thought you'd pick him" and then something like "No, I choose you because I love you" and yeah I'll stop now.

    But then Chael is like

    At this time of year, there aren't enough hours in the day /sigh I really wish my family was made up of strict atheists who refused to observe Christmas. Then the fact that I haven't gotten any presents yet wouldn't be so stressful. Last minute shopping, gooo!

    Wait, why am I talking about this? I'm supposed to be updating! Gah! Zuleika, quick, remind me what's going on and where we're at.

    [IMG]

    What? Already? Why are all these things sneaking up on me?!

    [IMG]

    Me neither :c

    [IMG]

    Huh??

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    And yet I remember it like it was yesterday. Chael breaking into the castle, escaping with Zuleika, eating rabbit over the open fire, starting a life-changing, world-altering adventure right here in this very spot!

    Ah, the days of my youth... Just like the scent of fresh lemon, you see.

    So, I hate to leave it here, but I probably won't update again until something after Xmas or the New Year. Sorry about that, I'm just gonna be super busy what with all the chaos that is Christmas. To be entirely honest, I thought this LP would take two weeks, not an entire month (since it's a relatively short game). So just lemme say thanks to everyone who's followed along, members and lurkers alike. I really appreciate it, and I hope my crazy commentary doesn't take away from your enjoyment of the game/story in and of itself. Hope you all have a happy December and a safe New Years! :)

    If it weren't for my family, I probably wouldn't have anything to do with Xmas. I don't hate it, but I'm not a huge fan of the carols and the sales and the holiday movies and /grinch

    Aww, well I hope you have a merry Christmas all the same! :) I'm going to miss your updates, but I'll also be looking forward to them!

    And also, YES THE SONG WORKED!! *happy dance* I really hope that they can still hang out together after the battle for freedom or whatever ball... They've become such great friends it would be sad if they never saw each other again.

    You have a relatively stress-free Christmas, too!

    I really enjoy the style of play, honestly. And I want to get the game eventually, which is always a sign the LP has something for it. Maybe once that elusive update appears...

    LPs always end up taking longer than you think. My first post in the DA2 LP has me talking about how I chose it becaussssssssse I thought it'd take less time than DAO. It PROBABLY did, but that post was from October 15 and 40 pages hence by now. It's definitely taught me a lesson on how much of a commitment these things are.

    So, I know I said I wouldn't be updating any time soon, but I actually managed to get most of the holiday madness over and done with in one day. To celebrate, UPDATE ALL THE LPs! Memoirs first because reasons.

    It's the night before the ball. I'm sure everyone is getting some sound rest to be best prepared for facing Nefferon the next night.

    Oh. That works, too. Who could it---

    Evening, Chael <3

    Sorry if anyone was hoping it'd be Kirile.

    Success?!
  30. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    They'll probably have a picnic and play tag together. Or maybe hide and seek. I can picture Kirile being the seeker and then he finds Zuleika and Chael kissing again. XD

    Hooray! I'm glad you got the madness over with in one day!

    And OH MY GOSH THEY KISSED!!! YAAAAYYY!!!

    I had an entire fantasy people based on the idea of communicating via expressions and when my character was explaining the affair he had with one one them, he gave a speech pretty similar to Chael's there. I always liked the idea, so it's nice to see it's applied and applied better than I could think to elsewhere.

    By the time Zuleika wakes up the nest morning, Kirile has already left. No, Kirile, why? D,:

    [IMG]

    /sniff B-but how can we have a harem ending without him?

    [IMG]

    Oh, you mean ready to go take back the kingdom for the good of the people or die trying? Well, no, not particularly...

    [IMG]

    You're not a very good listener, Chael ):

    [IMG]

    Damn straight you do.

    Time for the final vote of the LP. What course of action are we taking, Broken Forumers? Do we use our brilliant wits to take the throne from Nefferon? Beat him senseless and give him a taste of the suffering he inflicted on his own people? Should we try to approach him and arrange a deal? Or do we ask for Duren's aid?
  33. Davian Korran Hatoful Pigeon

    SCREW Duren. After what he pulled, he can get arrested right along his mater. After we beat his sorry ass.
    Panda Schweets and keifufairies like this.
  34. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    I'm tempted to see her outsmarting him, but attacking head on sounds fun too! He's already done too much bad for me to even think about negotiating with him. And Duren... Well, I'd like to leave him out of the whole thing since he seems close with both Zuleika and Chael, and they are on opposing sides still.

    So, Panda Schweets, is that a vote for attacking him? Or outsmarting him? Or both (because why not?). Sorry, I'm just not entirely sure ^^; By the way, have you thought about posting the F.U.N. song comic over here? It's up to you, but I think it's too cute not to share.
    Panda Schweets and Davian Korran like this.
  37. Panda Schweets This Is SEWIOUS

    Sorry for the confusion! I think my final answer will be to outsmart him because judging by Chael's past fights he'll probably take pity on the guy and take him on some crazy adventure. I'm curious to see how Zuleika outsmarts him anyway.

    If you think so then I will. Thanks! :)

    Alright, sounds good! I'll have the rest of the updates up pretty soon here. In the meantime, here's a shot of what happens when you choose to fight him head on. Spoilered to save space. And it's a little creepy, I guess, but not nearly as creepy as some of the other delightful things you'll find in the LP forum.

    Intelligence just happens to be the trait Chael is most attracted to, so we had to make sure Zuleika had a good head on her shoulders regardless of what plan we chose. Why not put all that cunning and cleverness to use? I think you need an Intelligence Score of at least two hundred, and Zuleika's Intelligence Score is at four fifty. She's smart enough to save TWO kingdoms.

    [IMG]

    It does, but he says that no matter what plan you go with.

    Somehow I don't think he went to a lot of royal engagements back in Nalan, Zuleika, despite being prince. From what he's said of his past, it sounds like he was pretty much the Queen's personal assassin.

    [IMG]

    It's might be mundane, but it makes sense. And I sympathize completely.
