For some time now, I've bounced around the idea of a story in the 40k universe with omo elements, and after some consideration, I decided to give this a whirl! This thread will be about the trial

Aurelia kicked her legs, sitting on a tree stump as her new... Companion... Chopped firewood as if it were toothpicks. The duo had been sent, at no small cost in resources, apparently, to bring a worl

Julia scrambled to get her desk organized while Aurelia put together a new plan in her mind, based around Julia's usefulness. After a minute of frenzied packing, Julia closed her purse and threw

Vote 1 Result: Option 2 wins.

Aurelia woke Julia some time later. It seems that Scarlet and Cloran had managed to pry themselves apart from each other long enough to wander in her direction. Phinri and Carlos seemed to be discussing combat with Victor, who was presently leaning against a tree.

Thankfully, the Marine had the presence of mind to thumb firmly in Aurelia's direction as she walked into view. The men turned her way and headed over as she approached the center of the camp. 

"Alright. We've had plenty of time to recover from our scuffle back in town." Aurelia began, placing her dataslate upon a wide stump and hitting an input to project a map. "We're abominably low on manpower right now. While I've considered the intel we poached from the Enforcers - Some paid-off gang that rats out cults is nearby, - We can't really risk making a move until we've solved the aforementioned issue." She tapped the slate once more, shifting the view over to a large military complex further to the East. "PDF on this world are infamous for discipline problems, and the Commissariat doesn't seem to have enough bodies to fill all the slots. We're going to infiltrate these rabble and plant some seeds of 'Heresy' amongst them. This should alleviate any later issues we may have with the Arbites calling in additional support, net us some considerably firepower, and prove a good test of skill for all of us here."

Victor snorted from his place at the tree. "Almost all of us." The psyker corrected with a roll of her eyes. Julia, who had stayed quiet and simply absorbed the offered information, giggled quietly at the Marine's reaction.

"Next, we need to set a primary objective." The bespectacled secretary pointed out, "I believe Aurelia mentioned that everybody should have their own input while we have the chance."

Reader Interation + Vote 2:

As Julia indicated, there are already a few basic ideas in mind for the various objectives. I would like anybody wishing to throw an idea out to do so!

Not every option will be listed, and depending on the volume of different votes, this freeform choice may be pruned down to three or four.

The winning idea with the most votes will be brought up by one of the other cultists; Please also list whom you would like to suggest this in-story.

you mean 3.

*cough*

Anyway, if we're taking this gang down, we need to do it quietly. Perhaps weave a plan to have the enforcers "get sick of" the gangs and decide they're no longer of use. The cult is so outmanned, even with Victor around (Down big guy), taking down this gang sounds difficult. Either the Enforcers are a cheap date and it takes nothing to bribe them, which I doubt, or they have enough resources to grease the pockets of a governmental police force, which would indicate they're big time. Taking them down would be the best option right now. The cult needs room to breath, and more importantly, room for error. Taking down what amounts to a network of spies that can rat them out at any given time would be to the cult's benefit. The easiest way would be to turn the enforcers against them by aligning their ideals with the cult's. If they turn into a nuisance or turn against the cult, lock them in a warehouse with Victor.

Have Victor relay all of this, or pose the last part himself, much to his own amusement of course. Guy might be a bloodthristy killing machine but he knows how to war all over peoples faces.

Vote 2 result: Two seperate missions, with the use of the local PDF watering hole for spying, and...

"Those pissant criminals must be dealt with."

All the eyes in the clearing turned to look at Victor, who rolled his neck as he stepped forward.

"You clearly have not fought a campaign in your life, Aurelia." He continued, inclining his head at the frowning cult leader, "I will make this simple for you. If a threat such as this gang exists and does not have intelligence of your position... You must STRIKE!" His armoured knuckles clacked against his breastplate.

"I will strike a decapitation blow to the cult, alongside our promising young men."

Phinri grinned like a shark at the compliment he had recieved from the Night Lord. He had spent many hours speaking with the hulking Marine, and even now readied his shotgun for action on Victor's words.

Aurelia grit her teeth, bristling at the insubordination from both her assigned bodyguard and her close combat specialist.

"Get out of here and start fighting then, if you're so intent on ignoring orders. This will not be forgotten, and I will be making our... Sponsor... Aware on our next report."

Carlos, who had stayed quiet and kept his distance, appeared torn... Though after his moment of hesitation, fell into step with Victor and Phinri as the two left.

Cloran, Scarlet, Julia and Aurelia all exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"Of the only men who I have met in recent memory who have not thought with their dicks, I am wholly disappointed to find that they have substituted weaponry for genitalia." Cloran groused, prompting a round of chuckles.

"Really though, Aurelia... Boss? Uh, Do you have a title? R-regardless, I have some ideas to deal with the PDF base!" The former tech-adept almost bounced forward, hands folded behind her back. Scarlet shook her head at her lover, but stepped forward as well. "I, too, have a few potential 'ins'."

"Such as?" Julia piped up, cutting off Aurelia just narrowly as she opened her mouth to speak.

The psyker simply cleared her throat as she leaned her head back and massaged her temples. "Yes, I would be quite interested to know. As for titles, Cloran? Anything is fine."

"Alright, Goldie."

Aurelia stared blankly at the girl.

"Aurelia; Gold in High Gothic."

A few moments pass and 'Goldie' sighed as her shoulders slumped. "Back to business, then."

"Well," Cloran began, "My ideas are based around6 a little more of an overall plan with a few objectives...

One: I can get inside the AdMech compound with a little effort and a little hacking, and it'll allow me to create aliases and believable enlistment papers, so we can all work inside as technicians or logistics personnel.

Two: Once we have our cover, we can start to influence people by making ourselves useful and friendly, over the course of about a week, give or take a few days. This sets us up for...!

Three: Once we have the NCOs on our side, we stage a covert mutiny and remove any officers that we can't convince."

 

Scarlet tapped her chin, musing over the idea herself.

"I propose something a little different."

If I recall, there's a small but fairly popular ladies' bar across the main road from that base. With a quick visit before we open up, we can off the stuffy, 'pious' owner and manager... And turn it into a real club. A little more sex, drugs and alcohol to turn the women to our side, and with that, we can leverage them to, well... Grasp the men of the base by the balls, so to speak."

 

((OOC: Final vote for the mission(s). Finally. Hooo boy, we're gonna have two missions happening concurrently! I would like some input on whether I should focus on the ladies for now and do a later cut to show what the men are up to (Faster posts, greater focus), or to run both simultaneously. (Less focus, but we get to see events happening roughly side by side, will take longer to work out updates.) I'm not sure which I'll choose in the end, but I will take reader input into account.))

I'll vote for Cloran's plan. Also for the first option, would much rather be focused on the ladies in an omo story. 

I intend to write this with a focus on plot, and while omo content is certainly going to be involved, the story comes first.

It has been a while since the last omo scene, though. Soon!

"We will be executing Scarlet's plan." Aurelia announced after careful consideration.

"The reasoning is two-fold. Reason number one: while Cloran's plan is a fairly straightforward one, the risk of being discovered by one of the attached priests is not worthwhile if we have a safer alternative."

Cloran shrugged lazily, not offended in the slightest by Aurelia's choice. Her lover's option had won out, after all.

"Reason two," The psyker continued, "With Scarlet's method, we eliminate one man and secure a front that will not immediately give away our true nature, and it will serve well as a way to raise funds for equipment, turn many of the appropriately inclined women on the regiment to our side, and make contacts with others that are not part of the PDF, on top of securing us the entire building for a base of operations."

Scarlet flashed a cocky smirk. "I figured you might appreciate it. Wouldn't be the first time that I've worked in such a place, but this time the reward for my work will be far sweeter."

Cloran giggled, snaking her arms around the waist of her beloved as they shared a brief glance between themselves.

Julia cleared her throat, directing Aurelia's attention toward her. "Um, Aurelia... Once we're in charge of this... Establishment, do you have plans for the work each of us will be doing?" She inquired meekly, as her cheeks rapidly turned a shade of pink.

"Well...."

 

A.) "Not yet, we should secure our control of the club first." - Roles determined by the readers, they will be open for votes upon securing the club.

B.) "Yes, I have roles in mind for all of us." - Roles determined by the author.

OOC: THIS LONG PERIOD OF QUIET OFFENDS SLAANESH!

Upon conclusion of this vote, we will be moving to a slightly more established location, which will change some cult mechanics for the thread.

Additionally, I'd like to ask the readers a question. Is there not enough sexual or kink content? The amount is sure to ramp up given the women of the cult will be in possession of what amounts to a lesbian bar/strip club (Which may end up potentially being a brothel on top of that.), but I am curious regardless. If the desire is high enough, I will make sure to make the content more regular. If not, the sexual content will remain a more occasional occurance.

Finally, I will be focusing far more heavily on writing this story than I have in the past, so updates will be considerably more regular for the forseeable future. Feedback in the thread or in PMs is welcome, as are any artists who are interested in illustrating any scenarios that occur.

B - and I am glad this story isn't dead!

Personally, I like sexual content.
But it should be kind of a highlight. If we see somebody screwing in every second chapter that gets boring imo.

The intent isn't so much to make the sexual content happen every few posts, but to have more content when appropriate, as well as using that sort of thing as a backdrop.

After all, this is a Slaaneshi cult that is intending to take over what amounts to a lesbian strip joint/bar/nightclub - It comes with the territory.

In this case, I definitly would like to read some intense scenes :)

Ohoho yesss, there will be intense scenes, as well as a return of omo themes in the near future... As well as the first messing-related scene.

After all, my intent in writing this is to make it both titillating AND contain an interesting plot.

That is the preferred method of writing here for me. 

Yay messing. Anyway, I'll also say B because don't know the other cultist well enough to determine their jobs I don't think. Easier for you to just write it anyway.

If option A wins out, I will be writing out the various cultist's strengths and skills, as well as weaknesses. Probably should have clarified that ahead of time.

""Yes. I have roles in mind for all of us." Aurelia replied, "I'll explain once the soon-to-be-former owner has been removed from the equation."

Julia quirked a brow, but kept quiet as Aurelia began walking back toward her tent. "Gather everything you want to keep with us. Try to travel light if you can help it." She ordered. 

The former secretary sighed and adjusted her glasses. Something had finally hit her after all the time she had spent away from home the last few days.

She had no spare underwear from home.

"At least it should be easy to buy more." She grumbled as she dashed to the tent. The other couple had walked off to gather their things.

 

[2.5 Hours have passed.]

 

The trip was a long one on foot, and it had been almost an hour since Scarlet began carrying Cloran on her back - It didn't seem to bother her at all.

The effort was worthwhile however, as the group had spotted the club some distance away. Aurelia couldn't help but snort at the pink neon outline of two long-haired female figures kissing. "Tacky." She commented drily, prompting a round of mixed agreement and quiet chuckles.

The building itself was pretty standard Imperial World architecture. Red and white brick lined the side of the building, whereas the facade up front imitated a PDF or Guard style bunker, boxy and stout. Clearly advertising to the appropriate clientele... Or military enthusiasts. True to the style, no windows lined the front or sides of the ground floor, with some small rectangular 'firing ports' from the second and the third.

The plan was simple, hardly even a true 'plan' at all. Cloran and Scarlet would keep the staff busy while Julia and Aurelia headed upstairs to have a discussion by sword point with the proprietor.

In practice, things were much easier. As it was still very early in the day, the bar was 'technically' closed aside from business inquiries, with a velvety purple curtain hiding the stage from the tables near the entrance. The owner - The Pious Jerkwad, as Cloran had christened him after some debate with Scarlet, was behind the counter, in the midst of counting the last night's profits. He was a skinny man whose sandy blonde hair was slicked back. Aside from his odd choice of hairstyle, his real distinguishing feature wasn't his face - Which screamed "JOE AVERAGE!" - It was the golden Aquila held around his neck, part of a rosary of sorts with a mix of various metallic beads, no doubt representing some 'important' Imperial Saint.

He was also far to occupied in his money to hear the group enter, even with the building dead quiet.

'No sport? Unfortunate. At least this speeds up our work.' Aurelia mused as she leaned over the counter, one hand hidden under her cloak while she rested her elbow on the counter.

The Jerkwad lifted his head and glared annoyance. "Yes, Hello?"

[Initiative: Aurelia rolled: 10, on one d10, Jerkwad rolled 6 on one d10.]


Aurelia grabbed him by the front of the collar and pivoted, drawing her sword across his throat in one rapid swing. The man gurgled and spat blood for a few moments as the slice across his carotid caused him to very rapidly bleed out as Aurelia let go, flicking her blade to clean the blood from the edge. "No, Goodbye."

Julia froze as she saw Aurelia murder the innocent man in cold blood. Blood rushed in her ears, and her heart beat rapidly... Once the rush of blood subsided some, she realized she was laughing out loud at her girlfriend's rebuttal. Cloran had joined in, and Scarlet was shaking her head with a lightly amused smile upon her lips. [Julia, Corruption roll on 1d5, result: 5. 5 more corruption until next 'Gift'.]

"So," Scarlet began, "Now that we have a lovely sacrificial body for the Prince of Pleasures, we should try to set up shop, so to speak."

"Aurelia, Cloran and I can set up a ritual with the body sometime soon. It would be better to do this while the corpse is still warm, but there are many things that need to be done." It seemed that this was evidently not Scarlet's first cult operation...

The psyker wiped her blade on the back of the dead man's shirt before sheathing it and turning to face the other women.

"Scarlet, please provide me a list of local contacts." She began, "Cloran, drag that fool's corpse somewhere appropriate for an offering."

The pair exchanged glances with one another and the former tech-adept headed over to the body to get it moved, while Scarlet headed into the handily marked 'SUPPLIES' through the door behind the counter, presumably to locate paper and a pen.

"Julia..." Aurelia began more softly, "You seem to be enjoying yourself now. It's nice to see."

[Charm, +20 bonus for relationship - Rolled 39, Success by two degrees.]

Julia turned bright red. She was embarrassed by her outburst, but the way her girlfriend had reacted to it filled her with warmth. She bit her lip, bringing her hands together over her chest. "Y-yes... It's unusual. Before I met you, it would have been terrifying or disgusting. Now? I just found it funny. It was a very goofy way to respond to somebody you just sliced up." She held her hands tightly to her chest for a moment, before letting them go with a quiet squeal and a start. "A-a-anyway, you need me to do something, Aurelia?"

"You're essentially our cogitator technician for the time being. I'm going to be heading upstairs later to see who is on staff and... Explain about a change in management. I want you to help me figure out who on-staff would be worth keeping around and integrating into our cult."

"A-alright, that should be easy enough." Julia responded with a nod of understanding. She gestured lightly over the psyker's shoulder at Scarlet, who had returned with a 'To do: ' list written out.

"Okay, what we need to do is all on paper. We can get all of this done today, but the club will have to stay closed until tomorrow, so we have time to assign jobs like you wanted." Scarlet explained. It seemed like she had a bit more bounce in her step than usual, though nothing in the way she spoke pointed to anything that would cause such a thing.

"To do," Aurelia read aloud....

"In whichever order you prefer... Sacrifice the dead man to Slaanesh, Review current supplies, Assess building for improvements, Manage staff - Our cult, as well as any current employees we intend to convert if possible."

"Anything else, Scarlet?" Aurelia inquired. She got a shake of the seductive cultist's head in response.

 

OOC: Provide an order for these activities, as well as any additional ones that can be done within a few hours in your vote post along with reasoning. I will personally select the post with the best reasoning and order. Deadline will be tomorrow at Noon, time zone is PST.

Please, let me know what you think about the level of reader interaction, I have a number of ideas I intend to try out if people prove interested.

First, supplies and building. Once everything is situated, time for a sacrifice. Finally, manage the staff, and send out someone to take care of ones that may be dangerous. 

 

My reasoning is because you cannot sacrifice until secured, but don't want the offering to get cold. The staff can wait, not like they are upstairs or anything. -cough-

Opposite for me, sacrifice first, then staff, then building and supplies.

The sacrifice and the staff are the two time sensitive problems. We won't have anyone else showing up for a bit, assessing and reviewing is less time pressed.

Start with wrangling the staff, so they can't interfere. If we don't need all our people for it, the others can prepare the sacrifice. If not, that comes next. Once those two are done, figure out what we can improve about the building, then finally assess everything.

Reader interaction has been fine.

"It's settled, then. Julia, if you could please lock the entrance?"

The mousy girl nodded and hurried over to the doors, locking them shut.

Aurelia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Our first direct sacrifice to She Who Thirsts. Once the ritual is complete, we will investigate the staff information and deal with any problems that crop up. Everything else can wait until that's all sorted."

Scarlet and Julia chimed in their affirmatives, and the three made their way to the basement. Cloran was proactive, it seemed, and so the Icon of Slaanesh had already been painted with a mix of the man's fresh blood, some of the alcohol on hand, and what smelled vaguely like perfume.

Julia stood back a step further than the rest of the cult, still not quite comfortable getting so close to something she had been told her whole life was evil - despite her conscious choice and knowledge to the contrary of the Imperial Cult.

Cloran stepped back from the last of the runes inscribed upon the concrete floor.

Satisfied with the well-crafted array in front of her, Aurelia dropped to her knees, her chest thrust forward and arms outstretched.

"Hear me, O Lord of Excess! Your ambitious servants offer you the first of many gifts - A fallen, hypocritical man who could not fathom the true wonders of the flesh, his heart chained by the dogma of the so-called 'Creed'. We will pervert this place so it shall become a hive of ambition, pleasure and beauty, a true expression of the many arts that make up humankind!"

 

The room thrummed with energy, sending a throb through the minds and bodies of all present, like a touch of static that burned with wondrous pleasure, all while a bizarre rainbow flame devoured the corpse, a jumble of musical notes replacing the crackling and popping one might expect from a flame.

The collected women heaved a sigh almost in unison as the ecstasy passed, leaving the basement dark, the array, corpse, the fire, all associated had disappeared in a flash of pink light.

[Aurelia, Julia, Cloran and Scarlet have gained +7 corruption points, and 10 infamy points for their 'first of many' sacrifice. The infamy is a one time boon, and Slaanesh may be fickle if they do not impress with their next offerings.]

[Aurelia and Julia have passed Gift/Mutation thresholds by this point. For the future, stats will be far less important, as I've set up my own system for how checks will work. Infamy and Corruption will stay, however.]

[Aurelia's Infamy and Corruption: 36 Infamy, 13 Corruption. GIFT IMMINENT!]

[Julia's Infamy and Corruption: 10 Infamy, 12 Corruption. GIFT IMMINENT!]

[Scarlet's Infamy and Corruption: 17 Infamy, 9 Corruption.]

[Cloran's Infamy and Corruption: 11 Infamy, 8 Corruption.]

 

Time for reader interaction!

I have a pre-existing list of positive and negative mutations for our cult already laid out, but I would like readers to try and suggest a few BENEFICIAL mutations that Aurelia and Julia might receive, either sooner or later.

I will be posting another few updates over the next few hours that will cover the rest of the new base set-up, please wait warmly~!
