monday - thursday (23) survivors Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

[well. she's going to hit him with the stick, but also.]

I fail to see how this is an effective training exercise.

[qundercover]

[He grunts when he's hit with the stick.]

Fuck off, demons! You don't stand a chance against the Iron Bull!

[When he's done yelling at . . . nothing, he's back to normal.]

Always worked for me in the past- . . . Admittedly not doing so great this time. Hit me again though.

[bloodbiter]

[makes a face.]

I will hit you again if you do not swear this time. Are you very frightened of them?

[qundercover]

Fine, fine. No swearing.

[He stances up!!! Everything you got Adelina.]

Frightened. Uh, not necessarily the word I'd use. Not really frightened of much anymore, but it doesn't make them any less dangerous. They can get into your head, read your thoughts, control you. Make you look like anyone else out there until they decide to just lose it. Not exactly my favorite shi-- things in the world. [So. Yeah. He's pretty frightened of demons.] Killed plenty of 'em though.

[bloodbiter]

[thwaps with the stick.]

You don't seem like the type of person who is frightened of much, that's true. [and yet.] I would not be too concerned. If even Clover was able to assist in killing one without great injury...

[qundercover]

[Yelling again when he's hit with the stick!!!]

I can rip one apart with my bare hands! Dare one to look me right in the eye!

[Then back to normal.]

Had to draw it out first, though. Find out it had killed. Only way to save someone who's got one in 'em.

[bloodbiter]

With your bare hands? You must show me how to do so. The only time I've done something roughly equivalent, I had to use a sword.

[teach her the most important things, bull.]

[qundercover]

Easier than it sounds. [Holding his hands out like the visual aid is gonna help. First, Addie, you're going to need like 500lbs and hands that are maybe . . . three or four times bigger than your current ones.] You just find weak spots and grab on. Then you pull. Go for the eyes.

[bloodbiter]

I did that once for a gryphon, and I suppose it worked well enough. I'm not certain it would work on the monster I was thinking of, though.

[oh well. more importantly!]

I'd like to hear more about your adventures, though. If I hit you again would you tell me?

[qundercover]

You don't have to hit me for stories. Unless you want to.

Can tell you about the time we tried Giant baiting?

[bloodbiter]

I don't want to, but if you need someone to hit you again I would not be averse to it.

[what's one more time!!]

Baiting? How does that work?

[qundercover]

[STANCING UP and doing the "come on" wave with his hand. HIT HIM. HIT HIM HARD.]

Some noble, they always want exotic things for parties, really livens up a patio to have a giant stomping around on it, I guess. Gold turns people's brains to mush, you know. Actually baiting one involves doing the dumbest thing possible: making yourself stink like shit and wandering directly into the big guy's lair, taking a good poke with a long spear, then running fast as you can in the other direction. Sounds pretty simple, but they don't tell you about the trick to it: you actually have to have a plan that works to catch him at the end.

[bloodbiter]

I beg your pardon! Not all nobles are that way.

[not that she's biased or anything!! anyways enjoy being hit with the stick again, bull.]

...That is an extremely poor plan. Why do you have to smell awful? Can't you just go into his lair and kill him there without having to lure him anywhere?

[qundercover]

[Taking the hit! Like a Bull! A man would not take a stick nearly so well.] Oof-- nah. You're right. Not all nobles are that way.

Some of 'em are though, including this one. And killing it would be easy - this one's gotta be alive to show off to guests. Any old chump from the Dales or Ferelden can have a dead thing. Easy enough to get a couple of dead things sent to you. Chargers are worth more money than just hunters. So, you gotta smell to lure the giant out and keep him alive. Noble claims he's got an amulet that can tame it. Charm it into obeying him.

[bloodbiter]

I feel his course of action has more to do with the fact that he is a fool than the fact that he is a noble... It easily could have killed all of his guests.

[a frown]

How did it end?
