As delightful as a sip of eggnog with Betty would be, she hadn’t exactly enjoyed her vacation in the beech dimension. With her luck, the lower half of her body would be frozen in an ice cube, and she wouldn’t have enough mana to thaw herself out. No, it was best she remained here. It was just a shame she couldn’t be there to comfort Betty. Just as well. Someone had to manage the hotel. Of course, that was well under way thanks to Binkies many clones. There wasn’t a lot of things for her to do. It was kind of upsetting, really. Ever since Binky became a magical girl, she had pretty much been slaving away making coins. Under veronica, she made coins, under beacon, she made coins, and even now she was working on coins. IT was a shame she couldn’t do anything else. She hadn’t ever slain a monster before, and Sammy chasing her was the closest she had gotten to a real fight. Even if the red coin helped a few people, she felt like she wasn’t doing enough. Even when Betty got captured, there was nothing Binky could do to really help her. Some outside girl ended up getting her back. Binky picked up a red coin, examining it. She wanted so badly to use it, but Betty had already said she liked Binky just the way she was. But why? Who could possibly like someone so [i]pathetic[/i]? Was Betty’s comment just a result of Stockholm syndrome, or was there something worthwhile for her to do here? *knock knock* Binky had locked herself away in her room. She was pretty sure no one had even seen her enter the door. Maybe if she just ignored it- *knock knock* It wasn’t Oros, she’d just invite herself inside. Same with Aria. Betty could teleport through the gap in the door. Maybe it was a confused guest? All she had to do was wait and- *knock knock* No, no it wasn’t possible. Had the Mint discovered her location? She lifted up her covers and prepared to climb under the bed. Before she could start, a voice called out to her. [color=abcdef]”Binky.”[/color] The stranger’s voice caused the entire room to tremble, but she sounded like a relaxed sigh. Almost as if she was whispering directly into her ear. [color=abcdef]”We haven’t met. But, Oros told me, you were here.”[/color] She breathed out. Binky remembered Oros talking about a special guest. She sighed and turned towards the door. [color=baddab]”What do you want? I’m busy.”[/color] [color=abcdef]”Bro.”[/color] She exhaled again. [color=abcdef]”I want, to get paid, for my job.”[/color] there was a slow inhale from the other side of the door. [color=abcdef]”You’re weak, Binky. But you want, to be strong, right?”[/color] The coin forger folded her arms. [color=baddab]”I made the red coin, but I choose not to use it. If I want to get stronger-”[/color] [color=abcdef]”Bro.”[/color] The stranger inhaled again. [color=abcdef]”Transforming, is like, just one way to change, man.”[/color] Binky was pretty sure there was some golden smoke lealing into the room from under the door. [color=abcdef]”Fast results, aren’t like, lasting, results. You can, get stronger, without coins.”[/color] Binky was skeptical of the stranger’s words, but her interest had been piqued. As soon as she flicked the lock, the door creeked open. [color=abcdef]”Ahhh.”[/color] What walked in was some white haired girl with [url=https://i.imgur.com/qmcXmqL.jpg]a body suit and the largest dart gun Binky had ever seen.[/url] And some stuff happened after this, but BP’s writing software took a big ol’ dump on him again. He has figured out why this keeps happening to him though, so that is good. Regardless, he’s not going to write out the rest of this scene again. We’ve got some other shizzle to frizzle! [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/YMVtd1J.png[/img] [color=magenta]“I was happy once, I’ll never do that again.”[/color] [color=888888]— Lord of Change[/color] [/center] Most of the magical girls present were hungrily sending texts to the Lord of Change. Each sent one caused a card to appear and fall into a pile. Even some late arrivals at the party were playing the game. [url=https://i.imgur.com/JkA636N.png]Pac-a-fist[/url] had taken the day off to join in the magical girl fun, and [url=https://i.imgur.com/L0nDBsa.jpg]someone else[/url] was sending a text as well. Even Aria’s familiar Rupy had taken out a cell phone and was texting on it. [color=e3bbc6]”I can’t believe you would vote against me, Rupy. After all we’ve been through!”[/color] The texting spree was over and done with pretty quickly. The lodge became deathly quiet as the Lord of Change lifted their head and glanced at those present. [color=magenta]“A total of 25 votes.”[/color] The Lord of Change cast their hand towards the cage spinner, and the pile shuffled itself into 5 neat stacks. [color=magenta]“A number that can be divided by 5 easily enough. We will spin each of these piles separately, and a single winner will be drawn from each one.”[/color] The cage spinner made no noise as it spun. The crackling fireplace was the only thing that could be heard as the first batch of cards were tossed. When the cage spinner stopped, the Lord of Change picked the card off the top, examined it, and placed it in a separate pile. The remaining cards turned to ashen dust and seeped through the bottom of the cage. The second spin behaved much the same way. A single card was drawn while the rest turned to dust. Then there was the third spin, and everything looked good until the Lord of Change pulled out a card. [color=magenta]“While I have the ability to manifest anyone I wish in this space, not everyone wishes to be here. Katelyn’s card will be discarded for this reason.”[/color] As the card turned to ash in the horror’s hands, Betty looked to the floor and balled her hand into a fist. But she could do little else to protest. [color=magenta]“Should this happen twice in a batch, all the votes will be discarded.”[/color] The remaining 4 cards were tumbled again. It felt a bit longer than last time. Some of the magical girls leaned in as the Lord of Change drew the next card. [color=magenta]“Much better.”[/color] The next two cage rolls were much like the first two, without the drama of an unusable card. [color=magenta]“We have our five winners.”[/color] The Lord of Change tossed the cards out in a perfect fan. Each one turned into a swirling portal, and [i]someone[/i] started to step through. [color=magenta]“Conflagrations to Eliza, Magical Dream Princess, Hilaria, Pac-a-fist, and Maribel. Your wishes have come true, if only for the duration of the party.”[/color] The Lord of Change swelled in size, gaining an extra foot or two on top of their height. [color=magenta]“Though perhaps I am the real winner for being allowed to partake in the dark emotions permeating this party. Regardless, I bid you all adieu.”[/color] And with that, the horror vanished without a trace. Not even the cage spinner remained. All that was left was the plush that Mariette had handed it earlier. Tetrad wandered through the first portal, wearing a pretty generic [url=https://i.imgur.com/T1l0pOT.png]santa suit.[/url] Very tame for how she usually dresses. [color=75c159]”Wow, I didn’t think that would work!”[/color] Tetrad looked at everyone. [color=75c159]”Well hello everyone! Some fairy girl handed me a ticket to this party, so here I am!”[/color] She she casually approached the other cradle agents, but was stopped in her tracks by what happened next. The smug grin of a party girl was quickly replaced by a look of shock. [color=75c159]”No way…”[/color] Cerise came out of the next portal. Needless to say, anyone who knew her knew she was very dead. Tetrad was one of the few who saw her body committed to the earth. Next was, uh, “Justine.” We’ll just let Famished take it from there. The fourth portal actually had two people, a boy and a girl. They looked [url=https://i.imgur.com/Uk5VCd4.png]oddly familiar[/url]. Two red-headed twins. [b]”Oh wow! There’s a lot of people here!”[/b] The girl said. [b]”You like crowded parties, don’t you?”[/b] [b]”Bet your ass I do!”[/b] The boy’s eyes scanned everyone with a particular hunger in them. [color=orange]”Elroy!”[/color] Pac-a-fist chirped before diving into the boy’s arms. [b]”Gamer girl!”[/b] He chuckled. [b]”Yea, let’s you and I take a walk.”[/b] The girl shrugged her shoulders. [b]”We you have fun! I’m going to finish decorating the garage!”[/b] And with that, the girl vanished through the portal. The last portal contained a coven sister of some kind. I dunno, I didn’t ask a lot of questions. You do the thing, Majora. [@everyone lolz] [hider =OOC stuff but I don’t wanna tipple post.] The total number of votes were 19 before adding my own characters. They were all separated from PCs and NPCs, and added to the loot tables in the order they came in. I sprinkled in my own characters which brought the number up to 22. I decided I wanted to have a nice round number for the loot tables, so I quickly added 3 of my own NPCs to give us [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RNBP74fLBrtmU7tT5c1hKamUlip6qWZa7xjBbDYuU3M/edit#gid=0]this list.[/url] Then I used RPG’s dice roller to get [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/21795]the numbers[/url], which were 1 , 3 , 5 , 3 , 3. Because Betty voted for someone who can’t join the RP, a 4 sided dice was rolled and the result was [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/21796]1[/url] And that is how the votes were tallied.
