GOURD'S QUEST 4 W/ NEW SUNACTION!

Posts

> If "assure" means making the townspeople know that we're not the bad guys, then I'll do that! And then I'll check why the freakin' pizza is taking so long!
Assure them

"Cashmera, play some nice calming music." You whisper to your app. As the music plays you stride forward and stop in front of the gathered group. You figured you could do this, after all, you are the president's daughter. You've made speeches before.
"Citizens! we are here to help. My companions and I are here to rid this beautiful town of these disgusting soldiers. Your town has been under the grip of this terror for too long! We need your help though, we are few in numbers, but with some strong warriors from you we can drive these terrorists from the town! I know it is a lot to ask, especially after the display of my friend, but I assure you that we only did that because it was absolutely necessary. We got what we needed and plan to leave that nasty episode behind us. Who's ready to liberate this planet!" You exclaim.

The people are completely silent. Then an elderly elephant looking person stepped forward, along with a short green creature with a large face, most of which is covered in giant yellow eyes. "We are with you." The green creature says.

You are unsure of what they could do to help, they looked pretty weak to you, but the villagers seem to take them in high regard. No one else stepped forward, and you were just about to talk to the two who did when Darvelle appears in front of you.

"Here you guys are, I didn't expect you to go on a rampage. I had to follow a path of bodies to find you." He says
"We thought we would help out and bring confidence to the townspeople." You tell him
"There might have been a better way to do that, but did it work?"
You motion to the two people who decided to join you. "We got them to agree to help out.
Darvelle spins around and when he sees who you are motioning to, he bows. "I'm sorry Quill, I didn't see you standing there. Now we must go before more people show up. People! Head back into your homes! We'll notify you when it is safe for us to come back!"
With that Darvelle grabs your hand and pulls you along throughout the city.
"Where are we going?" You ask
"I convinced some people to help, we are holing up in a safehouse of sorts while we plan everything out."
You stop in front of your "safehouse", a bar. Before you can protest Darvelle pulls you through the front and into a backroom. It is spacious with multiple tables which are meant to play Poker. It was currently occupied by ten people not including those who came with you, so 16 in total. You follow Darvelle to a larger table in the center of the room where Darvelle sits down along with Malcolm and Sephiroth and another large hairy man.
"Valerie why don't you go occupy yourself while we talk." Darvelle says.
"Excuse me?! I'm the leader of the group!" You shout.
"Sure, but you also don't know the first thing about planning, we'll draw up some plans and go over them with you afterwards." Darvelle explains.
You can't argue that, even though you wish you could, so you walk away and look around the room, there are eleven people to talk to.
The two you convinced to join sitting at one table, Three other men, all wearing raincoats and fedoras playing poker at another table, an eight foot, muscle man completely covered in black hair, A tiny blue creature on another table shuffling cards, a human wearing a weird suit covered in lights and wires, and a beautiful dark haired, tan skin girl watching everyone.

Options:
-Talk to the two who you convinced to joined
-talk to the raincoats
-talk to the muscle man
-talk to tiny blue
-talk to the tech suit human
-talk to the girl

How this is going to work is one person is going to pick four people to talk to(in numbered order) and Gourd and I will alternate each conversation.
so it'll look like this
1.person
2.person
3. person
4. person
Gourd will type the conversations for 1 and 3. I'll do the conversations for 2 and 4.

>Talk to:

1: The people you've convinced to come.
2: The girl
3: The raincoats
4: The blue thing
Yes! I get to do my favorite ones!
"Hey guys." you greet the elephant and green thing.
"Oh, hello! What brings you over here?" the elephant asks.
"Those guys told me to occupy myself. I know that I can't be of that much help over there but geez..."
"That's just not right if you ask me! We joined because of you! You've got some skills in orating, you know?" the green thing says.
"Thanks, that's really nice of you to say." you perk up at this compliment. "Oh, hey! I just realized you guys never told me your names."
"Quill. But you already knew that." the elephant says.
"Georg" the green thing responds.
"Good. Now we know each other." you smile.
AAGAHAGAGAGGAGAGA1! Gourd! The elephant's name was already given! It's name is Quill!

That's easy, it's Georg Quill. It knows that humans tend to use first names in introductions, whilst Darvelle's people use family names.
This is what happens when I rush...

Not that I know what you're talking about~
next you walk towards to the girl, who stares at you.
"Hi, how are you?" You ask.
She just continues to stare at you.
"Cat got your tongue?"
She stays quiet.
"Nice tattoos." You say, pointing to the art on her skin.
She stares at you, then nods.
"Not much of a talker huh?"
"Don't worry Valerie, just scan her with your phone, i'll search her." Cashmera tells you.
You raise the phone and snap a picture. Cashmera makes some weird noises. "I got it. This is Sheera, she was placed in prison when she was 11 for killing her father, who had repeatedly beat his wife. She escaped when she was in her mid twenties and vanished for three years. She surfaced on the planet Rangoolan after becoming an assassin. An expensive one at that. She is also a weapons developer. She created a bow made from nanobots that shoot arrows made of light energy. It is held in her bracelet and can be constructed in less than a second. It is rumored that she is able to hit a fly from around 1000 kilometers away. She has killed on record two hundred twenty three people in five years. She is not someone to mess with." Cashmera said.
Sheera just looks at you and nods again. "Well, I'll be going now, see you in the fight." You say before hurrying off.

A bow made of nanobots?

On a only slightly related note, I really hope there is a borg among the fighters. I want to see Valerie respond to "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
I may have been watching the entire voyager series over the last few months. And I may have become more of a Trekian than I ever thought possible.
A bow made of nanobots!?

Now, that's awesome! XD
"Uh, hello!" you say to the people playing poker.
In unison, they all slide their fedoras over their eyes and ask,
"Did you get lost? The nail salon is down the street," and continue playing their game.
"Well, that was rude. >.>" Cashmera comments.
"Hey, what's your problem?" you ask with an edge to your voice.
"We're trying to play a game. Take a hint." the furthest raincoat says to you.
"Geez, fine!" you throw out and stomp away.
"Who were those guys, Cashmera?" you ask.
"Oh, hey, I can just scan them!" Cashmera says and does just that. "Uh, these guys don't appear to be in any database I know of, Valerie. ;w; I'm sorry! Maybe they wear the raincoats and fedoras to protect their identities. It'd make sense considering they pulled their fedoras down when you came close."
You walk over to the tiny blue creature angrily. "What's got you in such a huff?" He asks without stopping his shuffling of the cards. He had big green eyes and stood about two playing cards high.
"Those guys over there in the fedoras, they're so rude!" You say.
"Who? The Catall brothers? Yeah they aren't the friendliest people around."
"What do you know about them?"
"Other than their names? Nothing, they keep themselves to themselves and are notorious for keeping secrets."
"That's something you know about them." Cashmera said.
"Who was that?" The creature asked in his deep, mellow voice.
"That's my phone, Cashmera."
"Nice to meet you Cashmera, I'm Begoul. I'm sorry miss, I seem to have forgot my manners, what is your name?"
"Valerie." You answer.
"Well, Valerie, let me show you a trick," he holds out the playing cards, "take one, memorize it, then throw it at me."
You grab a card from the deck and look at it, the ace of diamonds. You throw it like a frisbee. To your surprise it flies like a throwing knife. It goes to the left of Begoul, but he opens the deck and snaps the card up in it. Instantly he starts shuffling it. You can't help but stare at the strange creature.
"Why are you staring at me?" He asks.
"What? I'm staring at the cards, not you." You snap back.
"No, you're clearly staring at me."
"Fine! It's just, I've never seen your species before, and I've been to the Intergalactic Peace League." You answer.
"My species is pretty... reclusive." He answers.
Before you can ask anything else he rapidly throws down 51 of the 52 cards, which stick into the table by the corner. He holds up the final card in his hand; the ace of diamonds.
"Is this your card?" He asks.
You nod, then hear "Valerie, we're ready!" Darvelle shouts.
You walk over to the planning table and see maps with two paths drawn on them. "Alright so wqe've worked it down to two paths following the trickles. We have the Kappa trickle and the Ragal trickle." Davelle says.
"what's the difference?" You ask, trying to sound official and in charge.
"The Kappa trickle leads to some steep cliffs and the Ragal trickle leads us through what used to be a desert before the trickle was there, the nights there get extremely cold with hot days." Darvelle explained.
"How long is it going to take us to get there?!" You ask.
"As far as I can tell with vehicles, it will take five days. Without about 7 depending on how fast we walk."
"Why would we go without vehicles?" You ask.
"There are bound to be groups of soldiers leading all the way to the base, while vehicles would be faster they would be noisier as well, attracting more attention."
"I don't think we would want that!" Cashmera says.
"So, Valerie, you insist you are the leader, so choose what we're going to do." Darvelle told you.

Options:
Kappa with vehicles
Kappa without vehicles
Ragal with vehicles
Ragal without vehicles
Other Although I have no idea what else there is to do with the information you've been given

I like how the ace of hearts actually wasn't Valerie's card at all.
My bad!
I mean, you see nothing...
Nine pages already!? Wow, this is starting to get more longer than the other Gourd's quests! :)
And there's so much more left to do! I hope people don't get bored with this before it's over.
Well, I sure won't! Because I'm intending to see this whole thing until the end! ;)

I hope I didn't make anyone quit because I take part in this game a lot... :(
Oh my god, I ruined the game for everyone!

Ok, I'll stop posting here so much if that makes you feel more comfortable about posting actions here. :(

I would do it now, but I already posted an action not so long ago. In fact, it was the first post of this page...
Do it Ilan, no one else has yet, might as well continue the story now.
