[19:31] <!CYOA-sama> "Holy shit! Holy SHIT!" Rhonda screams to herself as she flees towards town as fast as she can.
[19:31] <!CYOA-sama> Even if it's a town where fiend witches are persecuted it's better than being alone on the road with that guy.
[19:31] <!CYOA-sama> Meanwhile...
[19:31] <!CYOA-sama> You let your shirt drop to the ground.
[19:32] <!CYOA-sama> It's ruined now.... oh well you just got paid so it hardly matters.
[19:32] <!CYOA-sama> It's a pretty long walk to town but your beloved is waiting for you.
[19:33] <!CYOA-sama> You can't wait to gently caress her flaming tail.
[19:33] <!CYOA-sama> As evening approaches you finally see the town.
[19:34] <!CYOA-sama> There's no religious markings at the gates.
[19:34] <!CYOA-sama> Good, you don't have to worry about anyone bullying your sweet toasted marshmallow.

[19:40] <!CYOA-sama> Your beloved is a sellsword too!~
[19:40] <!CYOA-sama> Oh joy!
[19:40] <!CYOA-sama> Oh bliss!
[19:40] <!CYOA-sama> You leap onto her and hold her gently in your arms.
[19:41] <!CYOA-sama> You physically feel a chill run up her spine as she frantically frees herself from your grip and turns.
[19:41] <!CYOA-sama> "W-what the hell are you doing here!" She screams.
[19:41] <!CYOA-sama> Many nearby people stare and the guards move towards her.
[19:41] <!CYOA-sama> "Obviously I'm here to find you darling!"
[19:41] <!CYOA-sama> "That and I'm a fiend slayer, so I need work."
[19:42] <!CYOA-sama> "YOU JUST STOLE ENOUGH MONEY FROM ME TO FEED YOU FOR A YEAR!"
[19:42] <!CYOA-sama> You gasp violently and look genuinely hurt.
[19:42] <!CYOA-sama> "Darling.... I earned that money killing those hellhounds!"
[19:43] <!CYOA-sama> "If you really love me then give me back half so I can replace my cloak and buy a room!"
[19:43] <!CYOA-sama> "....."
[19:43] <!CYOA-sama> "This and that are two different things." You say with a deadpan stare.
[19:43] <!CYOA-sama> "I KNEW IT!"
[19:44] <!CYOA-sama> "HEY! ENOUGH YOU TWO! I won't throw you out for making a scene but a fiend witch should be on her best behavior in a human village." The guard says as he touches your beloveds shoulder.

[19:45] <Imouto> [x] Gotta give em the key.
[19:45] <!CYOA-sama> (See, this is your chance to decide if he's impulse yan or malicious long term nightmare fuel yan)
[19:46] <!CYOA-sama> You make an expression that says "I WILL FUCKING CUT YOU" and touch the guards hand.
[19:46] <!CYOA-sama> He recoils and apologizes instantly.
[19:46] <!CYOA-sama> "C-carry on...."
[19:46] <!CYOA-sama> You pocket the key you took with your other hand and turn back to your beloved.
[19:47] <!CYOA-sama> "Of course my money is my money, but you're welcome to share a room with me darling."
[19:47] <!CYOA-sama> After a very long pause as if weighing a night with no food or bed against spending an extended period alone with you she speaks.
[19:48] <!CYOA-sama> "Fine... but if you touch me I'll kill you."
[19:48] <!CYOA-sama> You breath heavily as you stare down at her and goosbumps form on her shoulders as she breaks eye contact.
[19:48] <!CYOA-sama> She's so adorable when she's disgusted.
[19:49] <!CYOA-sama> You turn your attention to the job board.

[19:53] <!CYOA-sama> Picking all of them will just make him linger in the town longer
[19:53] <!CYOA-sama> (Pro tip, reward unstated options usually have the potential to lead to a new route girl)
[19:54] <HyakkoF> Ah. I wanted to slay the troll, but [x] Investigate

[19:55] <Brotius> [x] All of the above with our marshmallow
[19:56] <HyakkoF> I could, but I've always been overly cautious in new settings. Figured everyone else would anyway.
[19:56] <!CYOA-sama> You grab all three job notices and pocket them.
[19:57] <!CYOA-sama> You lace your fingers with your marshmallow and she shudders.
[19:57] <!CYOA-sama> "Tell me my love.... what's your name?"
[19:57] <!CYOA-sama> "R-Rhonda..."
[19:57] <!CYOA-sama> "Ah!..." You moan as you grab your chest.
[19:58] <!CYOA-sama> "Even the sound of your name rests on my ear like sweet sweet honey."
[19:58] <!CYOA-sama> She maintains maximum distance possible without letting go of your hand.
[19:58] <!CYOA-sama> She seems to have reached a compromise in her mind to tolerate you for her financial needs.
[19:59] <!CYOA-sama> Not good enough.
[19:59] <!CYOA-sama> You need her love.
[20:00] <!CYOA-sama> You guide your roasty little love muffin to the inn and purchase a room.
[20:00] <!CYOA-sama> After ordering room service you guide her up the stairs and enter the lovers suite you bought for 200g
[20:01] <!CYOA-sama> "You.... are disgusting."
[20:01] <!CYOA-sama> "I love you too darling~" You say as you collapse onto the pink sheets.
[20:02] <!CYOA-sama> "Don't worry my love, we'll be here for a few days. There are 3 jobs I need to do before we move on to the next town."
[20:02] <!CYOA-sama> "Three days is plenty of time for you to fall in love with me." You say with a smile.
[20:02] <!CYOA-sama> Then... before you leave that bastard guard gets his.
[20:03] <!CYOA-sama> You stand up and move towards the exit.
[20:03] <!CYOA-sama> "Where are you going.., I thought you'd drag me along." She says suspiciously.
[20:03] <!CYOA-sama> You turn with a wide grin that makes her throw up in her mouth a little.
[20:04] <!CYOA-sama> "I intend to darling, I just have some things to take care of and I thought you would have trouble bathing with a worthless perverted bastard like me around." you say with a grin.
[20:05] <!CYOA-sama> She seems to relax a bit and you smile and walk out the door.
[20:05] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] Wait for her to get in the bath and molest her.
[20:05] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] Go find a new shirt and wreak some havoc.

[17:57] <!CYOA-sama> You leave the love suite and head into town.
[17:57] <!CYOA-sama> This place is evidently some kind of trading post, lots of money gets exchanged.
[17:58] <!CYOA-sama> You'd love to check out the black market but you only have 600g left so it'd be a waste of time.
[17:58] <!CYOA-sama> What to do... what to do...

[18:04] <!CYOA-sama> You stop in the middle of the road and smile.
[18:04] <!CYOA-sama> People back away and walk around you as you start laughing to yourself.
[18:04] <!CYOA-sama> This is gonna be fun, you haven't robbed anything worth talking about in quite a while.
[18:06] <!CYOA-sama> First things first, you spend about an hour casing the town trying to find your mark.
[18:07] <!CYOA-sama> Naughty Bandit, that's the one.
[18:07] <!CYOA-sama> It's the largest merchants guild in town.

[18:08] <!CYOA-sama> You can smell the coin already.
[18:08] <!CYOA-sama> The main guild house is well guarded, and you can't blink through wall unless you know what's on the other side.
[18:09] <!CYOA-sama> It's not just a matter of getting inside, you also need to decide what you're going to steal.
[18:09] <!CYOA-sama> You sit down in an ally cross-legged and close your eyes.
[18:09] <!CYOA-sama> Your breathing steadies as you slowly formulate your plan of attack.
[18:10] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] Go after coin.

[18:12] <!CYOA-sama> Documents are likely kept in a secure vault in the guild masters room.
[18:13] <!CYOA-sama> You have know way of knowing where it is.

[18:16] <!CYOA-sama> If you'd just rather be subtle that's fine too.
[18:16] <ants> no, we just want to blow up inside, rather than outside
[18:16] <Brotius> ^
[18:16] <Brotius> no need to make things messy before we get the goods.
[18:17] <!CYOA-sama> You stand up and begin searching the out parimeter of the guild.
[18:17] <!CYOA-sama> There are actually a lot of windows you can use to get inside.
[18:17] <!CYOA-sama> This might be easier than you thought...
