>Derrick and co: gather up all of 'em reapers, commence indoctrination of Mephita.

Bane is still in Locad, so we can't get all the reapers together before we go there.

>Derrick and co: gather up all of 'em reapers, commence indoctrination of Mephita.

Maybe we should check for the reaper's opinions first, they're the ones who'll be babysitting the monsters, so i'd adjust them to

>Derrick and co: gather up all of 'em reapers and Lucia, ask their opinion concerning the indoctrination of Mephita and Auros.

Also, if Alice's hair is still black in the Wilfordswap AU, does that mean Derrick dyed his hair blonde?

Yes! well, yes to the dyed part, he dyed it silver (shut up derrick, it's fucking white, you poser).

>Derrick and co: gather up all of 'em reapers, commence indoctrination of Mephita.

Bane is still in Locad, so we can't get all the reapers together before we go there.

More specifically, Bane is in Alice's house. Do we want to risk running into Alice for that? Uhhh...

Dang, a lotta stuff happened over the weekend! I'm liking these developments so far. It's just a big ghosty party up in here.

>Derrick: Summon Lucia and all the reapers to discuss the addition of Mephita (and possibly Auros, if he wants?).

>See if you can talk to anyone with your communicator.

>Derrick: Excuse yourself to go grab that OJ in front of the TV, and use it as an opportunity to talk with Bambino and Reggie about Lucia. Maybe they can give you some advice or information to help talk to her about what you found it.

Derrick: See if you can talk to anyone with your communicator

Auros: ......
Derrick: He's nice, and he also tried to kill me.
Derrick: In which he's very sorry about, right Auros?
Auros: .... Yes.
Lucia: He can't stay in here!
Derrick: Whoa, be nice Lucia. He's our guest.
Auros: ... This is not new to me....
Auros: I am usually met with hostility.
Auros: Such is the way of this world.
Derrick: See, you bummed him out.
Lucia: HE'S A GHOST!
Lucia: DERRICK, I DON'T LIKE GHOSTS!
Derrick: Well, get to know him. You may change your mind.
Lucia: UGHHHH...
Auros: I'm sorry if I've upset you...
Auros: I was told that this realm could have a lighter side to it.
Auros: And it wasn't completely "Doom and gloom".
Lucia: Ha, we'll you're kinda right about that.
Lucia: The only real good thing here are the reapers.
Lucia: I barely leave my house anymore.

Lucia: I don't know.
Lucia: I'll need time to think if I want a FREAKING GHOST LIVING HERE.
Derrick: I'm sorry, Auros...
Derrick: She's afraid of ghosts.
Auros: ... I can see this.
Auros: No matter, I will keep my distance if it pleases you.
Lucia: I'd like that actually!
Auros: ......

Maybe it's to do with his appearance

>See if there's a way Auros can appear less ghost-like

I want to give Derrick a chance to talk to Bambino and Reggie about Lucia's coma, I want to get the orange juice (and no I'm not going to stop wanting that, it's not just silly anymore), and I also want to get Lucia to calm down a little bit.

Anybody think it'd be any better if we had him appear as a sword? Lucia might like that better because it's totally anime looking, or it might be so much worse because he's a ghost sword.

>Derrick: If you get that Orange Juice in front of the TV maybe you could make a water gun that shoots out infinite OJ. The reaper kids and Lucia might like that a lot! You could see if Lucia would be better off if Auros looked like a sword around her, and if not you could take him with you to get the OJ as an excuse to give Lucia a bit of time to adjust. You can also use this time to talk to Reggie and Bambino for advice about how to tell Lucia about her situation.

Wow Lucia way to be a ghostist.

And he even kinda looks like he has a ghostly clown nose with how he's floating in front of the door knob.

Haha, there's no way i can unsee that now xD

>Wow Lucia, judgmental much?
>Derrick: Try to help out and diffuse the situation.

Maybe it's to do with his appearance

>See if there's a way Auros can appear less ghost-like

Seconding and adding > Prince: Scold your maid. Constant hostility is more likely to cause problems than it is to help.

Should I add a part about the reapers? Because (IIRC) they have no confirmation they're not monsters as well other than what they've said.

> Auros: Make your sword form more FLOWER-Y and always just show that instead. idk, manipulate your form to be more aesthetically pleasin,

Can we command the monsters? I was under the impression they had to become a reaper before we could issue commands to them. Regardless, I suggest we have just Derrick and Lucia go grab the blankets and OJ from the living room. Similar to another suggestion, just use it as an excuse to have a little chat with Lucia.

>Derrick and Lucia: Go to living room to retrieve blankets and juice, and have a little chat.

No, we can't give commands to monsters. IP said so when we first encountered Ruu.

Reggie and Bambino don't know how Derrick can wake Lucia up unless she or Ghen told them. We should totally take this opportunity to have Lucia tell Derrick.

>Derrick and Lucia: Go to living room to retrieve blankets and juice, and have a little chat.

Seconded. Also second Reggie scanning the juice.

Also, I wrote these a few months ago. Feel free to post them yourself if you think the time is appropriate. In light of recent events, I am no longer completely satisfied with Alice's, particularly the underlined portion.

Spoiler>Derrick: That voice in your head that accuses you, belittles you, makes you feel inadequate, ashamed, guilty, that speaks of betrayal and of not needing your friends and of it being wrong for you to be with your friends and of hurting your friends – that voice is a liar. Do not listen to it. Rebuke it, order it to leave, and most importantly seek the company, solace, and support of others. Remember that they care for you, and you for them. They are doing their best to help you. Do not be alone. And do let people know about the evil voice. They can and will help you fight it. Moreover, confessing your problems shows strength, not weakness.

>Alice: There is something you need to know. Derrick has been hearing another voice besides us. We may be flawed, but we are well-intentioned and are trying to keep all of you alive and sane. This other voice, however, is evil, a liar, and a corrupting influence. Keeping a clear head and talking to friends counteracts the voice – both of which it tries to prevent. The best defense against it is stable, supportive relationships – which it will try to destroy. We will do our best to support Derrick's mental health, but if he succumbs to the evil voice only you or Lucia will be able to bring him back from murderous insanity. Ask DT if you do not believe us, or Derrick, or Reggie. As for yourself, avoid being alone, for it is when you are alone and afraid or otherwise mentally vulnerable that the evil influence first strikes.

Yea, i used to do that too... trying to think-up commands in advance for situations that didn't quite present themselves.

It wasn't very effective, but it was still kind-of fun ^^

um, just to be clear, you are not actually submitting those commands under the spoilers are you?

No. Not now. But I do think something to that effect should be submitted at some point soon-ish. To be clear I was giving permission to post them in my stead when/if the time is right. The original plan was to submit them before the Wilfords went to bed Tuesday ("yesterday"), but... yeah. The facts of the Lil Mal situation have not changed, and two of those are that Derrick needs continual help and Alice doesn't know about it yet.

I was kind of hoping for feedback. I will defer to most people in navigating social situations most of the time, as usually when someone disagrees on such matters they are right and I am not.
