If you're not trying to romance the Pokemon, what's the fucking point?

Can't help but read 'woah' as a regular 'wuh', but 'whoa' as a deep, masculine 'HOO-AH!'

That's patently untrue. I planted some potassium the other day, and no matter how much I watered it, all I got was explosions.

Bio

According to the IRC, I'm a low-grade troll. They're probably not wrong.

I might end up trying to claim Danzig as my territory... *silently schemes*


who won't
so...

What will you people do first with your char when the IC opens? Go out hunting? Beat up QB? Do homework?


Meme incessantly and fall asleep in class before botching first impressions terribly. Dunno what else you might have been expecting.
It could be kind of rage-inducing, given that for most if not all magical girls one tap on the gem and they're dead. Nobody likes being taken out with just one attack.


Sayaka's gem survived a fall off a bridge without breaking, so I think we can assume that they're not quite baubles in terms of fragility (depending on what was in the truck, of course). The ones which have broken over the course of the series have (as I recall) been either chewed up and broken by witches or targeted specifically by other magical girls at a very close range. So their palm-sized nature does help a lot in that case.

I put Kei's on an anklet specifically to match up with the Achilles' Heel metaphor.
Rubberbandits are one of those bands that you hardly listen to and never expect to be relevant until one day, coming out of the blue like a collapsing weather satellite onto a tin shack as you drive by, they are.

Two months later you forget all about them again until the point where you peer into the shack, the chorus of 'Black Man' hits you and you don't excise it from your head for another week.

Or is that just me?
It contrasts her wish a lot. It seems something that has to do more with her subconscious rather than her wish necessarily, which makes it seem like something she'd have as a Witch rather than a magical girl.


Ah, that's fair. Simpler to patch up than I expected, so I'll snip and snap and fix that up along with the rest of the edits. still haven't tweaked the kathy story either whoops

I mean, they're basically liches.


Glitter liches.

Best synonym for magical girls I've seen yet.
@Cleopatra Mmm. I see where you're coming from with perceiving a personality/bio disparity, but there are some aspects of Kei's identity that if I can't repair with selective rewording, I'd rather keep and then bench the character in her entirety and write a completely new one. Give me about 15 hours to figure that out (busy day), I'll see what I can do and get back to you.

Also, please explain how her paint themes don't work for a magical girl? Do they contrast with her wish or are each of them individually too varied from a core theme? Are they too destructively focused? I'm lost.

Edit: Also, can I ask for a Threads, Experience and Despair roll so I can get straight to constructing the replacement character if I decide to decommission Kei later today?

Go on an adventure.

Problem: It's summer.
'Master of Pokemon' is probably the only tertiary degree I'll ever have, tbh. ಥ_ಥ

but that's fine, because in the end it's the only one that really matters
I probably wake up in the back seat of a talking car, full of confusion, vague regret, and the smell of machine oil in my pants.
And now it's Saturday morning.
