Question4: Do you know any run-down bordellos in the B-city? Someplace in the outskirts where the prostitutes would be willing to sell me their blood? I need it to summon demons to replenish my ranks, you see.
Question5:a list of all the heroes and their powers would be good. Know your enemy.
Question6:also ask his sword or something.
Question7:So The Hero is a hereditary position?
Question8:Any other sisters, brothers, aunts, mothers, Mothers in law, grandfather's, ...
Question9:What happened the day we "died"? (Crossreference with Chemista's take on the story)
Question10:Any immediate changes to Hero policy.
Question11:Ask about our father. What he does in the association and what his position mean. Also ask about his history (trying to find a weakness or at least document his powers)-Question 7-8 will answer this
Question12:Ask about other heroes that can be reasonable like him. -Question One answers that already-
Question13:Ask for advice on making the heroes understand our point; that we are not bloodthirst slaughterers of children (even if we kinda are) and what would be the best approach in his opinion.
When you finish revealing the truth, Psysquid blinks.
Lord Gamington sheepishly coughs, while Cerulean looks at you with wide-doe eyes.
"You're THE Hero!" Cerulean exclaims then brightly, "I'm the daughter of THE Hero!" she adds then, "Can I have an autograph?" she says sheepishly. "I always wanted an autograph from THE Hero."
You chuckle and pat the girl's head.
"Well, it is a surprise," Lord Gamington states then, "But I am glad there will be no more senseless deaths." he adds, "And I hope this will mean some people," somehow, his gaze is locked on Cerulean, "Will learn not to kill whenever it pleases them."
Cerulean looks away embarrassed.
"Very well," Psysquid coughs politely. "So you are THE Hero and Evil Overlord...I wonder how that would look on a credential papers. 'Yes, I am Psysquid, Dark Advisor, worked for both THE Hero and the Evil Overlord Incognito. How did I manage? Oh, it wasn't easy but it sure had it perks..."
"Psysquid," you say slowly, covering Cerulean's ears. "YOU DID A GODDAMN MOT-"
Five strings of insults later and Psysquid is lazily on the ground, trembling in pleasure.
Snowstar's eyes have been covered by Lord Gamington.
"Your overlordness! There are children around here!" Lord Gamington remarks dryly.
"Why did I put my hands over Ceruelan's ears then?" you remark.
You then look at Snowstar who eyes you back in surprise. He had a hectic first day of work you suppose.
"Well, hello there," you state to the starfish boy. "This," you put your arms on Cerulean's shoulders. "Is my daughter, Cerulean. You try anything funny with her and I will rip you apart like a handkerchief, before burning the remains inside an oven and using your ashes as Mr. Wuffle II's litter. When those damn eggs hatch of course."
Snowstar actually nods vividly. "I...Ah...All right," he squeaks out.
"Good! Now, do you have any preferences for a place to sleep?"
"Near the water is fine?" he hazards.
"Very well," you acquiesce. "We'll talk more tomorrow morning. Now it's been a tiring day and everyone needs their rests."
Day 8 (should really go and check if this day is correct or not) Year OneUpkeepYou wake up to the sound of 'WUFFLE WUFFLE WUFFLE'.
That's actually not how Behemoth Catfish are supposed to sound when you wake up, so you go and check.
Somebody has created five normal cogs to go by, and then two more who apparently...have giant helicopter blades on their back to fly around. Which is apparently the reason there is a 'Wuffle-Wuffle' noise.
You stare at those things, and then you look at Lord Gamington.
Who is sheepishly hiding a wrench behind his back.
"With this, they'll be able to follow us!" he exclaims happily. "Sure, I had to make their inner parts lighter to make them fly with what scraps I found, but hey! Look at those cuties!"
One of the cogs descends nearby "COG-WUFFLE! WUFFLE-COG! Computing..."
Cog Acquired: WufflecogHe does look sort of frail...but if he can follow the Zeppelin...then maybe it's not such a bad thing after all?
The Five normal Cogs meanwhile have finished cleaning the fighting area and dumped everything on the Sad System.
You stare at the mass of dead flesh -that has begun to rot- and give one last goodbye to Mr. Wuffle.
Then you grab a handful of Crystals, and throw them in to boot.
"Your Evilness," Chemista remarks appearing behind you. "Are we going to throw the Cogs remains directly in the Sad System? It might call forth something completely different. And there's also SilGoo in there...well, its remains."
Do you proceed to sacrifice it all?While you ponder on that, you decide to talk with Knighthowl a bit more. He is still heavily bandaged, but he smiles when you enter and carefully begin to answer your questions.
"I know just a couple of heroes, but they all share similar characteristics," he replies. "Magic users always have an enhance attack, which can either be close range or long range. Then there are people who just go forward using their guts since they lack brains...those get dangerous the more you fight against them, but they can be outwitted. Then there's the down to earth guys. You know, like the Power Actor or Super Direction Giver. They're heroes because they've got a spark of something more in them, but they're not something to worry about."
He looks to the ceiling. "Of the HEROES you should worry about...there's I suppose four. Sure, you defeated me but I was alone and stupid...Had I taken my time it would have been quite the fought out battle. In any case, three of those are respectively in H-City, S-City, and J-City."
"What's up with those names?"
"Ah, sorry, it's just how we call the cities to keep the names short...They're Hero-City, Super-City, Just-City and the city you know as B-City is Brave-City."
He taps at his chest lightly. "They named them after the key elements of the Hero System. A Hero must be Super, he must be Just, and he must be Brave...each of them has a Heroic Hero to protect them in case of great harm."
"I see," you mull it over. "Wait. Who's the fourth Hero?"
"Your father, of course," Knighthowl replies, "He was the last THE Hero."
"He's in Brave-City?"
"No, he travels around. If he had been here I doubt things would have gone smoothly for you. Of course, news of your slaughter will probably have made the rounds. I suggest you try and expand in other cities, to let things die down here."
You nod, and then you ask another question.
"Do I have other family members?"
"You come from a renowned and great line of heroes," Knighthowl replies. "Which goes back to the very first Hero who defeated the very first Evil Overlord. Unfortunately, for what concerns family...your sister died when she was young, which was the reason you became the next THE Hero. Your older brother turned evil after you rose the ranks, giving in to envy. You killed him. Your mother died of childbirth when you were very little, and your youngest brother didn't survive more than a month. Your father had no brothers or sisters...I suppose the only one that remains is your great-great-grandmother but...well," he looks sideways, "She's a potted plant of pot now."
You blink.
"Wait. What?"
"Yes, you see...she was the Hero of pot, a 'hippie' as they called them...and one day decided to become a plant of pot herself to be burned to bring peace to the world. Of course nobody burned her but..."
Then he smiles as he stares at your incredulous face. "I'm joking Puppy. So easy to rile you up eh?" chuckling, he shakes his head. "Except for your father, there aren't any other living relatives I can think of."
You grimace. Somehow, you hoped hearing all this would give you back some type of memory, but nothing comes to your mind.
There's just...nothing.
"What was my mother's name?" you ask then, warily.
"Her Hero name was Silver Valkyrie. To think childbirth would defeat her," Knighthowl exhaled. "A sad thing, but I suppose they happen all the same."
"And Father?"
"He's the Mechanist. That's why your Hero name was Silver Mechanism."
"What about my real name?" you press on.
"That's...something even I don't know. Real names are for civilians, not for heroes."
You nod.
"Is the Hero hereditary?"
"Yes and no," Knighthowl replies. "No, because all it takes is for a man or woman to find THE Call to Herodom. Yes, because generally THE Call has only rarely happened outside of your family, and when it did THE Hero that came to be married into your family."
"I understand," you let Knighthowl rest after that, leaving and closing the door of the infirmary behind you.
Chemista surfs towards you as you enter the throne room.
"Your Evil Overlordness? About the available missions, we now randomly will choose the city to take them in. Unfortunately, once a city is decided we can't just go back and look into the missions of other cities until a turn has passed."
That said, she shows you a chart.
B-City is depicted as if in flames, with bright dots and black crosses all over it. It hurts to just watch it.
"This means the city is on Extremely High Alert," she remarks.
The other three city are instead just normally depicted.
Super-City, Just-City and Hero-City now available for missions!It's Just-City Time!Choose a mission
1) The airport is my airway. Destruction. "Let them know we are coming...by stealing one of their airplanes," Psysquid remarks. "We can use their components to strengthen the existing Zeppelin to carry as much as fifteen units -Dark Advisor included in the number, not subjected to change- OR speed up the construction of Flying Cogs to the same number as the normal cogs."
Airport Guards present. Resource Acquirable: Flying-parts2) My name is Chihua. Huahua. Mixed. "The Hero Chihuahua is the icon of the local Chili and Burrito and Hotdog stands around the market area. Defeating her will show the local underworld who's coming to town. And we can kidnap some waitresses while we're at it for the 'Wench' needs," Psysquid states plainly.
Market Guards present. Acquirable Resources: Wenches...and a Chili on the double.3) Hello Darling, do you need some love? Call 666-666-666. Rawr. Control. "I don't know what the Evil Overlod *tm* system was drinking last night," Psysquid deadpans, "But here we go. A mission involving an animal shelter," he dryly looks at you. What? You weren't imagining dirty things were you? "Might find some good mutagens, some new pets...and a Lion who believes itself a mouse," he scrolls to the end of the parchment with the mission. "Wonderful."
Low chance of Police present. Acquirable Mutagens. Acquirable animals.
