Like a terrible quest, why would you read that?

You focus back onto the corridor as you come upon your room. Opening your door with a thought, you take it in.

A large room maybe twenty meters squared with walls painted the standard off white. If you were to say the door opened in the south east corner looking north, then directly to the west of the door was a large wardrobe. A large bed with soft yellow blankets and pillows sat in the Southwest corner along the western wall, directly under a wide window, currently set to be opaque. On the opposite side of the room, a desk with a reclinable chair was arranged along the eastern wall, also with an opaque window in front of it. Towards the North, a long sofa was squashed against the wall, a small coffee table in front of it. You raise an eyebrow at it's positioning then turn and look up, an expansive holoscreen stretched along the upper half of the South wall.

Wow.

You turn and adjust your vision slightly and look through the north wall, revealing a large bathroom behind the door in the Northwest. You were quite sure normal cadets don't get a room this nice. Then again, if it was true that scarcity was no longer a problem in arcologies then maybe they did.

You take off your shoes and walk over to the bed, sitting down and considering your classes-

Soft.

You blink at the sensation of the mattress and quilt giving way under you. Putting a palm flat against the quilt, you ran it over the quilt, reveling in the sensation of smooth and soft fabric under your hand.

Somehow before you knew it, you ended up lying down on the bed, enjoying the sensation of the fabric enveloping your hands and calves.

Wow. Really soft.

You look up and eye the pillow at head of the bed, it looked soft too. You reach out and grab it, putting it under your head. Relaxing back into it, you sigh, it was as soft as it looked.

But something was wrong, a subtle resistance, a slight dullness in the feeling.

You turn off your Impeller field completely for the first time in years.

…

This was amazing! You reach up and grab the other pillow at the head of the bed, hugging it to your chest and rubbing your face into it. It was so comfortable.

Swinging out an arm whilst using the other to keep the pillow pressed to your chest, you grab the quilt and fold it over yourself, rolling over and over to cocoon yourself in the nice soft material.

The beds here were amazing, you think absently as you roll over and over on the bed, enjoying the feeling of the mattress giving way under you. Your feet swing out over the edge of the bed.

Uh oh.

You try reversing you momentum with every trick you knew, but confined in the treacherously soft quilt and pillows, you are helpless as you slowly topple off the bed.

Brushing you hair out of your face, you unravel yourself from the quilts and consider the problem.

Hmm.

Walking over to the wardrobe you open it and hit gold. Many more quilts and pillows inside, many, many more.

You enthusiastically haul them out and throw them onto the bed.

Leaping back over, you construct walls with the extra quilts and pillows, before pulling your original quilt and pillows back around you and resume your rolling about. Now there was no threat of falling off the bed and a command turns off the room lights.

Another malfunction occurs however as you bump into one of your walls and it topples on top of you. You wriggle free of your cocoon then burrow to the surface, poking your head out from under the piles of pillows and blankets.

Actually, this wasn't so bad. You yawn and relax back into the pile.

This reminded you of an earlier time, a more innocent time.

Sunbeams shining across the room - Half remembered faces swim across your memories - Anna! Get up you little sleepyhead! - A sunset from a rooftop -

Your hand twitches as you grab for the hand of someone else, who?

Finding nothing, you sigh in disappointment and fall to sleep.

No, I meant... You haven't read BASQUE???
 
Evilbrina is Yanbrina then.

Like mother, like daughter.

Edit: Oh, Sabrina.

You're missing out. When I called it the best quest on the site, I meant it. It won that contest during summer of last year for being best quest. And it just keeps getting better. SynchronizedWritersBlock has a review of it in the sticky thing nobody looks at at the top of the quests forum --

There's no way I could do BAHH justice with a short description, so I encourage you to just go take a look.

The why: The player character is the most compelling quest protagonist I've ever read. She's just so very unique, and Avalanche seems to have no trouble translating SV's more esoteric choices into her actions. The ways the quest subverts the so-called genre are elegant and simple. The setting is deep and interesting, combining alternate history, scifi technobabble, and silly anime tropes. Plus, you get ten-thousand word updates and an Original Setting instead of the fanfiction normal. Voted User's Choice in last summer's vote, which makes it officially the most popular quest on SV, and for damn good reason.

I fully endorse everything said here, but I'd go one further: if you were going to read one thread on SV in your entire life, I would recommend BAHHSCQ as that thread, with probably PMAS as a second given my propensity for WAFF. People worship Avalanche-senpai, and there's a really good reason for that.

Edit: Mumi... Informatives? I... I guess...

Don't worry, we're not Rochelle; our Grief constructs don't do that.

I don't know if she can make them permanent...

But I can imagine every morning Evilbrina kicks Goodbrina off the bed and tells her to make breakfast while she keeps Mumi hugged.

And Goodbrina has to bear it because to wake up teh Mumi to a fight would be sin.

She gets distressed whenever she notices any tension between Goodbrina and Evilbrina.

Which leads to Evilbrina bullying Goodbrina literally behind Mami's back and getting away with it because they both need to be all smiles and friendship whenever Mami turns to looks what's up.

Well... if she doesn't notice it...

Mami: Are you alright Sabrina?
Goodbina/Evilbina: Yep!

Mami turns away

Both binas begin to fight

*Crash

Mami: Huh? Turns to see Goodbina preparing tea in a microwave and Evilbina setting a cake on the table, Must have been my imagination... Sabrina, don't!

Meanwhile, outside
Gold Leader 1: This is Gold Leader, I'm going in
Gold 1: Roger that Gold Leader
Gold 2:Roger, I'll cover you

*Boom, a grief A-wing smashes into a 2 meter UNSC Paris class frigate, causing it to fall to the ground with smoke from the port side

Captain: Fire the MAC gun on the sphere!
*A several ton tungsten slug flies at a fraction of the speed of light, impacting the Death Star and causing it to plummet with fire from the aft side

And battle commenced between the UNSC and the Republic forces


Out of sight, out of mind... Actually this is sounding like a better, if not viable, idea by the second

*Meanwhile, the eternal war of miniature grief constructs continues outside. From a windows, a 4 meters long imperial star destroyer can be seen plummeting to the ground, smoke coming from the aft.
 
Idea:

Make a ring that pushes grief in a direction.

Make several billion such rings.

Create extra enchantments to hold the rings in geosynchronous orbit at range-meter intervals throughout the entire atmosphere.

Deal with grief pollution by shoving it off planet.

Eventually some of it will reach QB homeworld (may take trillions of years)

???

Profit
