So, instead deciding where it would go, I decided to try to do all three votes as a bit of a challenge to myself. I'm not entirely sure about it, but things are heading in a direction.

I feel bad for Lynn even though it worked out So, let's get those votes going! What are our girls going to do next? Right, I should probably do that. We should probably figure out WHAT we're doing, so that we can figure out HOW to do it. So my answer is a little combination of all of the things to vote for, but mostly the 3rd option.

That's what Áine and Lynn will be doing. Quote Link to comment
ExplosiveTurtlez 232 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I say the third option, then the first option. Let's ask the locals if they know anything about our destination, then we'll stock up on food and water for the trip. Quote Link to comment
ju48 12 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I am going to agree with ExplosiveTurtlez on this one and say 3 then 1 because you should always be prepared for whatever might happen. Quote Link to comment
MaverickJsmith 32 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Áine looks at Lynn's mirthy face for a few moments. Sigh. "Alright, what should I know about what we're doing?" "What? We're getting a ring back from a cave for an old man." Lynn said with a puzzled look on her face. "No, I mean...Treasure hunting." Áine explains. "Oh." Lynn replies, pleasantly surprised. "Well, it usually involves jobs just like the one we're about to do: someone wants something from a place, you go to that place, get the thing, and bring it back. Get money." Lynn says matter-of-factually. "I see." Áine replies. Lynn glances at Áine for a moment. "Sometimes it involves bandits. Sometimes monsters. Sometimes it's supposed to be harmless but you're surprised. I've been doing this for a while, this sounds like an easy paysack." She seems really confident. Like it's just another day. Áine's eyes wander away as she thinks. "So, what are we going to need?" Áine asks changing the subject. "Well," Lynn begins, "first, we're going to need some rations for the day." Lynn moved her hands from behind her head to her hips as she spoke. "And a few other odds and ends." "What about rope or something if we have to do some climbing?" Áine asks. Lynn looks up with a quirked expression. "I can fly." Áine rolls her eyes up and away before back to Lynn. "Yes but we don't know how far we might have to go down." Lynn waves her hand back and forth dismissively. "We'll be fine!" she says shaking her head equally dismissively. "Okay, anything else?" Áine says, surrendering to Lynn's frivolity. Áine's looks up, realization on her face. What will Áine do? 1. What about sleeping on the trip? 2. What if we get into trouble? 3. Do you really think I have what it takes for this? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Áine's Adventure returns! Lynn has told Áine a bit about treasure hunting and they are about to grab what they need, but Áine has realized something, what will she ask? Find out, as Áine's Adventure continues!

Bismiris 320 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Trouble is to be expected, and Lynn seems to think that they're ready. So, they could grab some bedrolls and be on their way! Quote Link to comment
ju48 12 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think 2 then 1 then 3 would be a fairly natural progression in this case. Quote Link to comment
ExplosiveTurtlez 232 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 2 would be most-logical~ However, sleep is also important... Quote Link to comment
MaverickJsmith 32 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 "I don't think so." Lynn says, furrowing her brow for a moment. "What about sleeping? We're going to be gone for a while." Áine asks. "We'll just pick up some bedrolls along with the other things we'll need." Lynn says. "And what if we get into trouble?" Áine asks. "I'm really not that good in a fight." Lynn takes in a big breath. "Einy." Áine waits for Lynn's reply. "You really need to give yourself some more credit." Lynn replies, looking up at Áine with a face akin to 'really?' "You did fine against those wolves. Really, I can handle anything that could pop up." Lynn sounded rather reassuring. Áine stares for a moment before letting out a sigh; her head drooping a bit along with her ears. "Those wolves really unnerved me. In the moment, I was just, reacting, you know?" Snarrll! Áine remembers when one of the wolves lunged at her. "I guess I was just in that kind of state of mind where you didn't have time to think. I mean, I was scared, but it really didn't hit me until it was over." Áine seems uncharacteristically reflective, even to her. It bothered her. Áine turns and looks right into Lynn's red eyes with her big emerald ones. "Lynn, do you really think I have what it takes for this?" she asks. Lynn, after a moment, gives Áine a big smile. "Einy, you do." And while Áine is just about to form a word, "Einy, you're a smart, plucky, and resourceful woman."Blink. Áine's eyebrows perk up along with her ears. "The fact you're worrying in the first place shows your head's on straight. Not having any worry is for stupids who deserve what's coming to them." I-uh-wow. Lynn gives Áine a one-sided smirk. "Come on!" Lynn beckons with a hand. "I know a shop I haven't been to in a while that makes some great bedrolls. And they're cheap too!" Lynn walks ahead. Áine watches the flippant little Faery ahead of her. You really are more serious than you let on aren't you? A small, one-sided smile escapes Áine's notice. "Hey, wait up!" It's hers. Two-bedrolls later, a dinner, and a downed sun, the two are walking upstairs to their room. With a small click Áine unlocks the door. "Oh." Áine plops down on the edge of the bed. "We really ran around today." "I can't wait until you feel how good these bedrolls are Einy!" Lynn says in one of her excited tones. Áine eyes the two bedrolls in question. "Yeah I can't believe how cheap they were." Lynn gives Áine a good smile. "Well, let's sleep! The sooner we get up the better. If what that old tanner said was true that cave really is a day's walk and if we're gonna get there before the sun goes down we're going to need all the sleep we can get." Áine crawls into the bed. Awwwwwwwwwww-nya! She lets out a good yawn as Lynn hops up on the chair and leans back. "Hey Lynn." "What's up?" What will Áine do? 1. I really appreciate what you said. 2. What you said earlier, thanks. 3. Thanks for having confidence in me --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Áine's Adventure returns! Áine and Lynn have sorted what they need to do, and Lynn has assuaged Áine's concerns about this quest. How will their little treasure hunting adventure go? Find out, as Áine's Adventure continues!

Bismiris 320 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Option 3 kind of says all that needs to be said. My inner D&D player says it might be one of those quests that starts simply, but becomes much more complicated than a fetch quest. Quote Link to comment
ju48 12 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I agree with both option 3 and the fact that this may not turn out as planned... Quote Link to comment
ExplosiveTurtlez 232 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I will saw option 3 simply because the audience is going that way. Quote Link to comment

MaverickJsmith 32 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hey folks! Sorry not a story update today. But! A needed update regardless. So I'm starting a new job tomorrow and I've been in a mad dash the last few weeks getting that sorted, plus trying to sort out the pieces after my formerly current job left me screwed. Funny how you can leave a job that has you super stressed but gives you lots of money only to get into a job that is rather stress free but your boss does everything to make sure you'll quit. Ironic. #Lifeisfunnysometimes This new job will have me on a crazy schedule, the get-up-at-five-am-and-get-home-at-six-pm-go-to-bed-at-eight type of crazy schedule, but it's a job that greatly surpasses my needs. Now here's the important part: It's temporary. It's expected to last until the end of January, so, for the next 6 and a half weeks or so. I've been devoting all my energy trying to get out of the crappy job and into this one, so that is why I've been rather silent on the updates for Áine's Adventure. I'll have time on weekends and I'll try to get Áine and Lynn's latest little adventure going. Trust me, it's going to be fun! In the meantime, I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! Nya! Quote Link to comment
Bismiris 320 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Good luck with the new job! "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." It's a stupid saying, because anyone who follows their passion knows it's a long hard struggle. So let's hope there's none of that. Happy Holidays! Quote Link to comment
MaverickJsmith 32 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 "Thanks for having confidence in me." Áine says. "Awww~" Lynn simpers, "Stop, mushy is too good on you." As every night so far, Lynn puts her heels up on the small desk in the corner and leans back in her chair, hands behind her head. "Einy, don't mention it. My friends are something to me. Night." "Night." Áine returns. She lays her head on the pillow and closes her eyes. You're a softie that doesn't want anyone to know, Áine thought as she fell asleep. ... "Einy~" "nnn..." "Einy wake up." "n-nya?" Áine opens a single eye to find Lynn leaning down over her. "It's time to get up!" Lynn says quietly. Áine pushes herself upright and yawns, smacking her lips a few times, ears drooping. "Nnn, What time is it?" "Before sunrise!" Lynn said excitedly. "Nnn-nya?!" Áine's eyes pop open as she half awake meows in surprise. "What do you mean?" She looked at the window: No light poking through. Áine turns back to Lynn. "We need to get an early start, remember?" Lynn is looking fit to beam; only barely contained. Perhaps it's better she is. Áine rubs her eyes, ears folding against her head before popping up as she looks up at Lynn. "Can I wake up?" "Of course!" Lynn beams a bit louder. "We need to eat and get going. The kitchen downstairs should be just getting going." Áine stands up and stretches. "Unnnnnnnnya! Alright." Filing out the door, the two of them walk downstairs- Lynn trotting down -and find the serious barkeep just coming out of the kitchen in the back. "What are you two ladies doing up this early?" "Eating breakfast." Áine replies dryly as she hops on a barstool. Lynn joins her as the barkeep quietly, as much as a scowl can be, heads into the kitchen. "Sleepy?" Lynn asks as she leans on a hand. What will Áine do? 1. "I never get up this early." 2. "Mmm." 3. It's too early for conversation, just let me eat =@o@=; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Áine's Adventure returns! Áine and Lynn are up before dawn to get a very head start on the day, how will their first day of adventuring begin? Find out, as Áine's Adventure continues! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey folks! Holyjesus.wav Did things not go as planned for me. That job that was to end in January? March. Making lots of money? Not at all. Should be rolling in dough. Am not. Feeling? Miffed. Tired. Wondering why it took me a month to get back to our favorite nekomimi and fairy duo. Yeah so had to sort all that out, and some personal garbage too. Yay personal garbage. However, I've got loads of free time now! So, once again, Áine's Adventure is on again. And my flaky ass will be continuing the growing saga of our plucky catgirl and flippant faery. It's good to be back.Jesus christ that job was a bust hashtag my life ExplosiveTurtlez 1 Quote Link to comment

ju48 12 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think that 2 would fit her character best in this instance. Welcome back again! Glad to see this story continued! Sorry to hear about your getting stiffed by the job though... Quote Link to comment
Bismiris 320 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm glad to see you're back at writing this. Sorry to hear things didn't go as planned. (3.) It's probably best to eat breakfast, let's eat. Quote Link to comment
