dammit joshua

it's been nine days

your mom would be worried sick if not for the fact that I'VE been calling her for you

I know you're feeling bad about irene but you can't just give up on everything like this

at least go for a walk or something

I'm going crazy sitting in this room staring at the walls all day long

>>44255163
No we just had really bad luck and Irene died. This time no one told Joshua about her respawning either so he think's she's permadead.

>>44255185
So when he runs into her again will be spaghetti-riffic.

"......I guess you're right."

Reluctantly, I slide my legs around to the side of my bed and slide off onto the floor. As my feet bear the full weight of my body for the first time today, pain shoots through them like they're trying to punish me for staying cooped-in for so long.

"Crap I feel weak..." I mumble to myself as I stumble towards the door to my bedroom.

Fuck yeah. I'll consider this a Christmas present, Arch.

Not wanting to contaminate the kitchen with my week-old body funk, I throw together a change of clothes and hurry into the bathroom as quick as my starving body can take me. After taking a long while to regain my breath, I start about the long, grueling process of cleaning a week's worth of grime off of myself.

I have to admit that this hot water feels nice...

...

>>44256890

"Bwaaah!?"

Jolted awake by the most unpleasant sensation of freezing-cold water hitting my body, I frantically scramble to shut off the faucet.

you fell asleep in the shower

nice going

"...shut up."

Mumbling curses at the voice in my head, I step out of the shower and get dried off and all that. Once I'm fully presentable, I toss my dirty clothes into my room and make my way downstairs to the kitchen... and narrowly avoid running into my uncle.

What luck, the absolute last person I want to see in any situation is the first person I have to deal with.

"So you finally felt like rejoining the rest of the world, huh," he says with a smirk.

"...yeah," I mumble to him without making eye contact.
"But I guess you're still gonna be playing hooky?"
"What?"

The hell's he talking about?

"Don't tell me you were holed up in there so long that you forgot what day it is," he groans. "Today is WEDNESDAY. And it's like NOON."
"........." I slump over and breathe a heavy sigh.
"Just make sure you don't end up missing too many days," he shrugs. "Your mother would have my neck if you got held back under -my- watch."

I want to tickle Lorelei.

"Meh..."

I walk over to the counter and search through the pile of junk mail until I finally find the single letter that's actually addresses to me. I have no idea how the hell he expected me to find this without him actually saying something about it...

no return address

And a printed label too.

kinda suspicious

A little bit, yeah. But that only serves to make me curious as to who sent it.

Since my legs are still kind of wobbly on account of my whole "not-quite-starving" status, I take a seat at the table before tearing open the envelope.


>[1/?]

So I'm really curious about this and have been for some time, never really played this quest.

What is a Dendrite, and why is this particular one not true?

>>44258749
Dendrite seems to refer to powers, or what grants them? So In this case the voice in the heads. And if they take over, they'd be pretending to be you, so that's what I always read it as.

>>44258749
something something connections within the brain something something every super-power gives you a free voice in you head as well

also something about tree/plant metaphors and dendr- being a word stem referring to trees

>>44258749
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=False%20Dendrite%20Quest

super powers linked to trees(namewise at least) and dendrite is a type of plant.

Still not sure I understand but that helps a lot.

Since my legs are still kind of wobbly on account of my whole "not-quite-starving" status, I take a seat at the table before tearing open the envelope.

"I know this is outside of the usual pattern," the letter reads, "but recent news that my sources have informed me of has me just a little bit worried. While it would be great if you had nothing to do with it, I've known you for too long to expect otherwise."

oh

it's from her

"So if you could, please give me a call at your earliest convenience so I can ease my conscience. Love, you know who."

And there's a phone number listed underneath...

>>44258857
To be more clear: The name of the quest is related to a central aspect of the story but needs not be understood to get what the story is about.

Dendrites are the connections between cells in you brain or something like that. A ton of people get “fake” people in their head in this quest.

"No, not right now," I say as I get up from the table and start towards the cabinet.

what

why the hell not

this is the first good thing to happen since she agreed to go out with you

why would you wait

"Because I don't want her to hear my stomach growling over the phone," I reply as I grab the lone box of cereal that I actually consider edible from the corner where it's been shoved and place it on the counter. "or risk passing out from hunger while I'm talking to her."

Three bowls of cereal.

It isn't until I'm -just- about to pour the fourth that my stomach finally gives my brain the signal that maybe I've had enough to eat. Nice timing.

yay

we're not starving anymore

I ignore the voice in my head's sarcasm and go about cleaning up my dishes, then head on back to my room since that's where I left my phone.

Canonically how powerful is Mystia?

I know she's a Stage 2 boss, but I'm just not seeing the threat from her power to cause confusion/annoyance, since I am pretty much made of those things, and her ability to inflict nightblindness is nigh useless in a modern environment.

I should probably call my mother... or better yet, I should visit her. I don't think I've ever spent this long without doing so, and that fact only serves to amplify the level of shittiness that is my current emotional state.

"But if Lorelei has good news for me, I'd be able to pass that along to my mother if I called her second..."

that's just an excuse and you know it

Quiet, you.

As I enter the phone number that Lorelei left in her letter, I can't help but wonder if this is just a burner phone or if I'll finally be able to talk to her whenever I want or what. I never can figure out what's going through her head or why she does pretty much anything that she does.

And that includes her reciprocating my affections.

"Hello?"

Even through the filter of my phone's garbage speakers, the sound of Lorelei's voice makes my heart skip.

"Hello~?" she calls out. "Is anyone there?"
"I- it's me!" I stammer.

you're a total nervous wreck

"Joshua!" she laughs. "I was worried that you didn't get my letter!"
"Y- yeah..." I clear my throat. "I didn't see it until just now..."

"Yes," Lorelei laughs, "you -are- quite the busy guy, what with school and your sick mother and your hero business on top of all that..."
"...pretty much," I sigh.

While it would probably do me some good to vent about all the awful things that happened last week to someone who's actually in the know about all of it, even thinking about putting it to words is causing me to flash back to-

"Nngh-"

I lurch forward, covering my hand over my mouth as the contents of my stomach try to force themselves back out.

"Joshua?" Lorelei calls out in a concerned tone. "Is something the matter?"
"N- no," I choke out, "I'm fine."

>[1/?]

>>44260777

"So you're not sick or anything?" Lorelei asks.
"No," I shake my head. "I was feeling under the weather for a while but that's over with."

No more sulking for me. An entire two people are worried about me and I don't want to cause any more problems for them than I already have.

"That's good," she replies. "So you're in good health... are you busy?"
"Eh?"
"Is your schedule filled with things that you need to do," Lorelei asks. "Today is a school day if I'm remembering it right so I'm assuming that you're using your lunch break to talk to me?"
"Er..."

There goes that crushing guilt again.

No point in lying to her.

"No," I say, "I'm skipping."
"Oh?" Lorelei laughs. "So my hero of justice has become a delinquent all of a sudden?"

Yeah... that's it. That right there is what I've been longing to hear. Even with my phone's low sound quality, the emotion is still conveyed perfectly.

"I do hope I'm not starting to rub off on you," she teases. "We both know that I'm not the most responsible person in the world."
"You most definitely aren't," I reply with a dry chuckle. "But it doesn't make me love you any less."

Silence.

"Eheheh..." Lorelei finally speaks up after a full minute of nothing. "...it's been a very long time since someone was able to throw me for a loop the way that you do."
"Sorry," I mumble.
"There's nothing to apologize for," she replies, "that's one of the things I like about you. You're fun to talk to."
"Umm, thanks?"

you're smiling like a moron

cut it out already

"Anyways," Lorelei clears her throat, "to get back to my original point..." she take s a deep breath, "since it seems that you're not otherwise preoccupied, would you like to come see me?"
"W- what!?" I nearly drop my phone. "You're in town!?"
"Is that a bad thing?" she asks. "I was worried that my boyfriend was in trouble so I dropped everything I was doing..."

"Sorry," I mumble, "I've been going through some stuff lately so I-"
"Now now," she cuts me off, "you can save all that important talk about feelings and the like for when you see me in person!"

It's not as nice as what I prefer but it's the best place I could fine that wasn't too close to where the other Branch holders around here are..." she trails off. "Anyways, I'll see you soon!"

After hanging up, Lorelei texts me the address that's well outside the range of where I usually patrol. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be somewhere that I'll have a hard time getting to.

I have dreams with gay sex in it and I'm not gay.
I've gotten pretty damn good at ALT+F4ing my dreams and forcing myself awake as a result.

Spooky "what you see, what you touch, what you hear" desynchs where the world around you shifts, so you can't find your way out of the suffocating / burning sensation?
Sure, gimme that nightmare.

You just barely can't run fast enough or climb high enough to evade the dangerous animal, and it demonstrates that your abdomen and genitals still feel pain in a dream?
Sure, gimme that nightmare.

You need to remember a sequence of 10 letters, and you can't, because your dream is stored on a brain that can't reliably hold that information?
Sure, gimme that nightmare.

But the instant my dreaming brain starts up the gay shit, I open my eyes IRL, speak IRL, and hyperventilate IRL, which is usually enough to dump me out of the dreaming state.

>I have dreams with gay sex in it and I'm not gay.
This is bait isn't it?

"No," I shake my head, "other stuff."

That's not completely lying to her... I think.

"What -kind- of 'other stuff?'" she asks. "Did that Lorelei woman break up with you?"
"Wha? No, I was just talking to her on the phone a few minutes ago and-" I stop myself.

too late

"And what?" Mom asks. "And you're planning on eloping? And you're dropping out of school entirely to become her live-in boytoy?"
"No," I groan. "I was going to say 'and things are going fine,' that's all."
"Okay then," she replies. "That's nice."

She pauses for a few seconds.

"Chatting up your girlfriend is still no reason to skip class, you know."
"Geh-"

I wish I had/was a live in boytoy.

>>44261654

"I -do- know your schedule, remember?" she says in that accusatory way she likes to do.
"......sorry..." I mumble. "I've been out of it for a while now and I lost track of what day it was."
"I'll take your word for it," she replies. "Just don't make a habit of it, you got that? And I don't want to hear about your grades suffering because of your truancy."
"Yes, ma'am..."

The next ten minutes are spent with me getting chewed out for skipping school and not calling or coming to visit and I honestly deserve all of it so it's not like I have anything to say in my own defense. So instead, I just sit there and let the nagging wash over me.

I deserve a lot worse.

"...yeah, I promise to do better," I groan.
"And you'll call every day?"
"And I'll call every day."
"Good. I'd hate to finally get out of here only to find that you've messed up your chances of getting into a good college."
"Like I had any chances to begin with."

That's like the last of my concerns right now.

"I mean it," Mom says. "The pneumonia is finally starting to clear up and the doctors say I'm in better shape than they've ever seen me in."
"...for real?" I gasp.
"Yup!" she laughs. "I'm still stuck in here but things are actually looking up for your poor sick mother!"

Didn’t the other personality call her?

>>44261856
Like three times over the past nine days.
just enough to keep her from thinking that he's dead but still unacceptable

After getting the usual goodbyes out of the way, I tell my mother that I love her and promise not to slack off on calling her like I have been. Even though I was kind of dreading calling her on account of my well-deserved getting chewed out, I do feel a lot better for having talked to her again.

Not to mention that it's a rare occasion that I talk to the two people in this stupid world that I actually love one after the other like this.

time to go?

Yeah, it finally is.

I hurry out of the house and through the city, abusing my handy buss pass to get as far as I can until I find myself in an area that I don't know the routes for. Luckily, I pick up the sound of Lorelei's heartbeat not too long afterwards. Homing in on that, I find myself making a beeline for the hotel that she's staying at... and just as I walk through the door, I'm met with a familiar hat.

"I was wondering when you'd finally make it here," Lorelei says, approaching me with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Sorry," I reply with a tired laugh, "this place is pretty far from my uncle's place so-"

Suddenly, I feel the soft, wet sensation of Lorelei's warm lips against mine. As her slender arms wrap around my back, her tongue...

HER TONGUE!?

I panic for a few seconds on account of the fact that we're MAKING OUT in the main lobby of this place and try to pull away but soon find myself surrendering to her superior strength.


>[2/?]

>>44262010

"Guh..."

After she finally releases me from her (really freaking strong) embrace, I find myself reduced to nothing more than a gibbering fool. And of course she finds this funny.

"Now that the greetings are over with," she says as she slides my arm around her shoulder, "let's head to somewhere more comfortable."
"Y... yeah..."

public displays of affection

she's way more lewd than I was expecting her to be

lucky bastard


>[3/?]

>>44262040
>[4/4]


My senses finally return to me by the time that we reach her room... only for the realization that I'M ALONE WITH HER IN A HOTEL ROOM to kick in at full effect.

"And here we are!" Lorelei says in a cheerful shirp as she places her signature hat on a table. "Go ahead and make yourself comfortable, okay?"

I simply nod and march straight to the nearest chair.

"So, uh..." I look around, "...how long are you going to be in town for?"
"Mmmmm," Lorelei gives her arms a good stretch before walking over to the chair where I'm sitting, "I have this room booked for the next week, so for at least that long?"

Wow, a whole week? I don't think she's ever been in town for more than four days at a time before.

"Maybe longer if I feel like it," she shrugs, "maybe shorter if one of the other Branch Holders here catches on to my location. It all depends on how things go."
"...other Branch holders..." my expression darkens as I remember what happened to Irene.
"I assume you've run into them?" she asks. "There are two over in that direction..." she points out the window, "one that way," she turns to the corner, "and another way over there," she says, pointing in the opposite direction. "And with the two of us here, that makes six Branch holders in the area."

six

assuming that those two brothers are still around and irene's friend hasn't left yet

"There's one unaccounted for," I nod.
"Hm?" Lorelei leans in so close that our foreheads are almost touching.

I tell Lorelei all about the goings-on since the last time I saw her. How I tailed Irene and then ended up saving her from that piece of shit rock kid, my first encounter with his brother and subsequent capture by the Tree of Life people here in this city... my temporary alliance with him and finally how I got Irene killed thanks to my lack of ability. And by the time I'm done talking, Lorelei's usual smile has been replaced with a stern gaze.

"So that's why you were so late to call me..." Lorelei says.
"Yeah," I nod. "I've been doing this for a long time now but I've never had someone die on me..." I take a deep breath. "It really messed me up."
"You know," she says, taking a seat next to me, "I -do- remember specifically warning you -not- to get involved with the Tree of Life."
"I know," I nod.


>[1/?]

>>44262306
>[2/2]

"It was more of a temporary alliance thing," I say, shrugging. "Our goals kind of intersected so I was only going to help them take care of those two bastards..."

watch the bass

"Sorry," I say, stopping the reverberations that were just causing the floor to shake.
"This really complicates things," Lorelei sighs. "If they find out that you and I are involved, that won't end well for either of us. I mean, I was -hoping- to help you as best as I could to take care of whatever trouble you'd found yourself in..." she says, taking my hand, "but now the best I can do is act in a support role."
"Eh?" I stare at her. "You were actually planning on-"
"Yes, I was," she nods. "since I was so worried about the cute boy who confessed his love for me. I wouldn't have agreed to enter a relationship with you if I didn't care about your safety, you know... I'm not -that- callous."

And that's all for this thread, folks. I would've liked to run longer but I have things to do this afternoon.

The next thread will be on Sunday night, with more Song of Unison.

Iori is best idol.

I do not.

>>44262443

More frustrated than angry since she knows how Joshua is.
she was hoping to go out on a few dates with him but now it's too dangerous to do so

>Will we find out how she knows Irene and Katrine?
That was the plan for this thread but things dragged longer than expected.

It's good, but far from the greatest.

Scratch that. Looking at the link somehow the end is "png?w=60&h=300". For some reason it only showed a small version, if I edit that last part out I see the proper picture. Weird. The other images don’t have that for me.
