GOURD'S QUEST 4 W/ NEW SUNACTION!
Posts
From what I know of you, you forgot he knew nothing and wanted to tie in the army with the Lupricobras for whatever reason.
-Go around the edge of town killing any soldier come across. And while you're there, ask M&M and Sephiroth if they knew each other already.
"Alright, it's time to move!" you order. Your loud voice is finally coming in handy!
Sephiroth and Malcolm both nod. The three of you bust out of the house and sprint to the outskirts of the city. You managed to avoid being seen up til now, but it seems it's too open out here for you to sneak around. You're not quite sure how many there are, but there are... enough. Sephiroth and Malcolm both get to work! Their expert war knowledge allows the both of them to easily dispatch the soldiers and you get whatever is leftover. You've certainly grown, but you're still a little weak. You'll get there. As you think this to yourself you begin to wonder about the bond Malcolm and Sephiroth share.
"Hey guys, wait up!" you holler as you catch up. They don't really wait or stop to answer you, but they're not really breaking a sweat so they continue killing baddies as they listen to you. "Do you guys know each other?" you inquire.
"I know... of her." Malcolm scrunches his face as he answers.
"I know... about him." Sephiroth says with a grimace.
"I think they're avoiding the question. :O" Cashmera voices what you're thinking.
"I-I am not! Since when has that cellphone lady been so sassy?" Malcolm asks.
"Er, I dunno. Always?"
"He's changing the subject again. :|"
"We're war buddies. Happy?" Sephiroth states with a dry tone.
"I saved her, but not her friend Adam." Malcolm grimaces, "then she up and ran away! Or at least, that's what I thought."
"The Lupricobrans kidnapped me. This was before the Lupricobrans were so openly aggressive about their need to reproduce." Sephiroth continues with "See for a long time, the Lupricobrans just came back for the child after their chosen mother gave birth. However... this had a few flaws since some children would never want to go back after being with their mothers too long. Sometimes they'd be forgotten altogether and they'd be lost forever. Now it seems they're trying out a different approach. Perhaps what happened with me is the predecessor to this event? A test run of sorts?"
Soon after she finishes, you realize you've circled the city a few times.
"Geez, this place isn't too big is it?" Malcom says.
You can see some heads peeking out from some windows. You look like you've caught the people's attention! Now it's time to show them what you can do. Down a street leading back into the city, you can see the face of the soldier robot again. And he sees you!
"Another one?!" you yelp as you get your gun ready.
Options:
> Charge the soldier and shoot
> Tell Malcolm and Sephiroth you can handle this on your own
> Take shots from a distance
> Make a spectacle for the people of the audience to see
> Ahhh! Robot! Run!
> Other

To be clear, you mean making the fight with the robot dude a spectacle, right?
I realized that option was a little vague when you chose it...

Yes, something flashy against the robot dude, though making a spectacle of herself in the process isn't beyond the realm of possibility.
Make a spectacle
Since you know people are watching you, and well, you are Valerie Altrium, you decide it is time to show off. You hold your machete above your head and start swinging it in circles as you run towards the soldier while Cashmera blasts out the song "Uprising" by Muse. The soldier drops his gun and waits for you to get there. "This might have been a bad idea" You think, but it is too late now! You swing the machete, aiming for the neck, but the soldier just grabs your wrist and stops it cold in its tracks. He then grabs your throat and lifts you up. In a panic you do the only thing that you can think to do; you kick him in the gonads. Luckily for you, even though you thought this was a robot, it was in fact a human. He groans and drops you. Malcolm and Sephiroth reach you at this point and malcolm raises his gun at the soldier.
"Wait. We may be able to get some information out of him." Sephiroth says.
"But if we don't kill him here with everyone watching, they may think we are weak." Malcolm countered.
"What do you think Cashmera?" You ask.
"I don't know, I'm staying out of this one." She says.
options:
>Take Sephiroth's suggestion
>Take Malcolm's suggestion
>Are you rebellious enough? Then make your own choice

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

>If we want everyone to watch, then we'll interrogate him right here, and execute him afterwards.
When did I become this dark...?
When did I become this dark...?
I can't wait to see how Gourd handles this, I know how I would, but something tells me our portion of this would be very different.
That dark? Please you could have made it way worse.

I meant interrogation as in torture.
I figured as much, but you could make it worse, for example enslave him so that you may parade him around get answers through multiple torture sessions, or use him to round up more soldiers, torture and have a mass execution in the town square to send a message, and an execution tends to be a quick death, it would be better to torture to death. I think that's a bit darker for this occasion. Of course if we had shadier characters than we could add in things like rape or mutilation for a few examples.
I was torn whether or not to post this, but I figured I might as well, it isn't like any of this is actually going to happen. (<.<( )>.>)

Yeah, sorry about the wait! I was kinda occupied the 26th hanging out with suna and I ended up falling asleep because I was exhausted. And I was sick all day today and my older sister is visting so I wasn't really thinking about the game! I'll do it soon ish!
>If we want everyone to watch, then we'll interrogate him right here, and execute him afterwards.
You realize some amount of authority needs to be shown here. There are a lot people watching and you need to make a point. That the city is safe and that those soldiers shouldn’t ever come her e again. And he may have information. The only way to do this… torture? You couldn’t do something nasty like that! But wait! Sephiroth could definitely pull torture off. “Sephiroth,” you look to her and nod at the soldier. She nods back at you, somehow knowing what you want to say.
“Am I missing something?” Malcolm comments about the nodding.
Sephiroth ignores Malcolm and walks to the soldier. Quickly, she’s extra sure to pin him to the ground with her foot. He’s pinned by his neck…
“How do we get to your city?”
“I don’t-“
“Liar.” she brings her foot down harder. A distinct cracking can be heard.
“How do we get to your city?” she has a dangerous look in her eyes.
“The… entrance is where… the trickles all meet...” he gasps.
“Do you know who that kid was?” you look to Sephiroth. Is she talking about her servant?
“N..o…?”
“Good. You don’t deserve to know his name.” she sneers and thrusts her foot down.
“W-woah-!” Malcolm lets out just as Sephiroth’s foot smashes right through the soldier’s neck.
“Let’s go.” Sephiroth says as she makes her way out of the city. The people of the city all slowly come out, but they’re a bit hesitant of you and your friends.
Options:
> Go to the soldier's city
> Finish up any lingering soldiers
> Assure people of the city
> Check on that pizza. What's taking so long?!
> Other
