You can stop echoing, I filled the void with a collab.

Lunacy of Love: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

The sky bastion made its second trip to the roof of the hospital. The last time Amber was here, it was to do some investigation work with Lily and Alexander. This was where Helga's body was destroyed. In an odd twist of irony, it would be where she was resurrected.

“I wonder how I'm going to explain this to Lily and Alexander?” Amber wondered out loud. “Well, I can cross that bridge when I come to it. Even if the bridge is burnt, I've got a flying ship!” Amber threw a rope off the edge of Sky Bastion and slid down onto the roof. Sure enough, Helga's ashes were right where she had left them. “Alright, I think this is everything.” The pirate pulled the pendant out of her outfit and let it rest in front of her coat.

"Yeah yeah, let's do this!" The pendant chimed. "Oh to be whole again! To fel the wind on my skin, food in my mouth! And my lips on....Hee he hee!" She giggled, unable to contain herself at the excitement.

"Good to hear" Violet said as she touch down on the hospital roof as well tossing a stray glance back at the flying ship above as she did. She had seen stranger things then the sky bastion, but not many. "Having all of this will make it easier" she added though more to herself. It was going ot be a taxing wish so every little bit helpped.

"So who wants to say the magic words?" she asked looking back and forth between Amber and The pendant with a raised eyebrow. As much as she would have liked to get stright to it, the proper protocol had to be followed

"Again?" Amber raised her brow? "Well, that should be easy enough!" The pirate girl cleared her throat before throwing her hands into the air. "I wish Helga's body was whole again!"

The moment Amber finished speaking a momentous amount of magic could be felt building around Violet as a soft white glow suffused the Mini-djinn "By your will" She intoned softly as her eyes became pools of white.

She approached the pile of ashes and gently picked them up. There was a thrum of magic and then she then began molding the ash as if it was clay. Pulling and stretching it she began to fashion the ashes in to the shape of Helga's body. Her movements were unnaturally graceful, as Violet wasn't fully in control of her actions.

It didn't take long for her to finish making the body, but even so she was sweating profusely. Taking a step back she seemed to regard her work, the body she had crafted was nearly perfect. The only issue was that it was still the grey color of ash. She seemed to consider the issue for a moment before she snapped her fingers as if an idea struck her on how to finish the wish.

Turning she strode over to Amber and carefully took the pendant from the Pirate. "I shall rewrite the world" she said softly meeting the other girls eyes for a moment before she turned back to the the ashen doll with each step Violet took towards it it gain more and more color until she was standing right in front of it. She nodded once and placed the pendant on the body she fashioned.

Violet took a step back and the magic swirling around her dropped away causing her to sag to the ground. "Try not to loose that one"

"Nicely done sis. I wouldn't have thought to do it that way." Though Sakura knew what Violet had planned to do, she probably wouldn't have done it the same way herself.

"What can I say? I was inspired" Violet chirped as she sat back and just watched the out come of her handy work.

Amber stepped in front of Helga's body, seemingly ignoring Violet's presence. The pirate was observing Helga's body with a hand under her chin. “So this is you, Helga?” This was the first time Amber had seen Helga. She looked into the monster girl's eyes. “Do you feel normal?”

Helga's eyes were closed as she stood there, her posture straight like a statue. But when the pirate girl spoke, she seemed to wake from her slumber. "...Huh? What...Whoa...I...Am I...Back?" She slowly touched her arms and legs, and then planted her palm on her forehead. "I really am back...It actually worked! Yahooo!" She grinned widely, and suddenly lunged at Amber, picking her up in a hug, spinning her around in the air. "It's so hard to believe, but it's true! And to think I believed that bloodsucker! Now you're a real Lady compared to her!" She giggled incessantly, euphoric from her resurrection.

The centrifugal force caused Amber's head and legs to float away from Helga as she spun. “Glad I could help!” Her eyes were watering just a little bit.

Sakura smiled, although took a step back to avoid getting hit, or possibly hugged as well. That would be a little too close for comfort for her.

But then, something happened: she suddenly stopped spinning, and released Amber as she slunk to her knees. "UGH! What...Why does it...Hurt so much?" She clutched at the pendant she wore, but then screamed as it suddenly wept blood as hot as boiling water; even her iron-hard claws burned from the contact. The pendant snapped free from her neck, and dropped to the ground, forming a pool of blood before it was completely absorbed by the liquid. And then, from the liquid appeared an eye. Helga's eyes widened in pure terror. "Huh? "What! Why! Why do you-No! I didn't think it would work! You can't do this!" She screamed at the bloody eye. It was obvious the eye communed with her in a way the others couldn't understand. The entity closed it's eye, and dissolved into the disappearing pool until it was gone. Helga screamed as dark light erupted from her body, until she was completely enveloped in it. When the magic had passed, she was prone on the ground, breathing heavily. And as she stood back up, she had changed back to what was presumably her regular human form. She blushed, and hid her face under her scarf. "Oh no...This is embarrassing."

“Um...” Amber had just recovered from her twirl educed vertigo. “Well, Still not as embarrassing as my untransformed state.” The pirate trailed off as she walked up to Helga again. “What just happened? Can you still transform or...?”

The young girl sighed and looked away. "No...I lost my power. My Patron abandoned me, and took my magic with him." Her lower lip quivered. "Now I'm useless to you.."

Amber sighed, but her smile only grew. “First of all, you're hardly useless. I can't walk down the street without someone asking where my parents are, and Sue can only maintain her human form for about a half an hour. Having someone who can go shopping and act as an adult is extremely useful.” The pirate took Helga's hands in her own. She was noticeably shorter than her taller counterpart. “Secondly, we already decided to be friends outside of the whole magical girl business, remember? I never expected you to fight along side me, only to be a reliable friend.” She ran her thumbs over the back of Helga's hands. “Being normal isn't bad though. It's something I find myself occasionally yearning for. You don't have to worry about beacon chasing you anymore, and you certainly don't look like a freak. The option to have a normal life is open to you. Isn't that what you wanted?” Amber smirked. “But you are going to be part of my crew for life, even if you choose to never set foot on this ship again. But that would be a shame, as I already have your room picked out.”

Helga's eyes watered from Amber's kind words. "R-Really? I'm a...friend? You...actually mean it?" Her hands shivered from the shorter girl's touch, but she didn't pull them away. She smiled even as she began crying, and hugged Amber; she couldn't lift her like she did last time, but it was even more heartwarming. "Thank you! Thank you so much! I'll be your crewmate! I'll sail the skies with you! Because you...You're my Lady...You're the only one I could call that..."

Amber returned the hug. “It's not really a big deal.” She giggled before turning to look at the Djinn sisters. “Thanks guys. If you ever get together with Sue again, maybe I'll join you.”

Violet just smiled from where she was sitting "Feel free to give us a call as well if you want to meet up sometime as well it's always nice to make new friends, plus having to do it the normal way feels better." she replied happily, casting a positive wish always got Violet in a chipper mood, whether it was because of the magic or the fact she was a hidden romantic was hard to gather.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

Not a lot to report at the moment. There's a hurricane approaching the USA and I'm expecting to lose internet access for a few days. Hard to say exactly when that'll happen, but if I'm absent, that's why.

Even though the RP is moving really slow right now, I'm still working on the case(s). I'm expecting the western release of Danganronpa to drum up more interest for the RP, so we may have some new infinites coming in.

Good luck everyone, and stay safe.

Walpurgis night (AKA hurricane Irma) looks like it will come to the states around Saturday/Sunday. Depending on how things go, Amber and the Bates might be too busy fending it off to participate much in Penrose.

Just a heads up, should I entirely lose power.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Exclusive titles on any platform is a joke. I choose to believe they are referring to the fact that console exclusive eventually wind up on the computer.

Looks like the Bates are going to get away unopposed. You can consider me out of that fight now I think.

Roleplay Retention -- Keeping it alive

People not posting in an RP is a symptom. If you want to get people to post, you need to look at the real problem, which is usually you or your players.

We're going to use 6 players for this next example. Their names are Ay, Bee, Sea, Dee, E, Ef And their Gm. They are all playing as pirates in a fantasy RP. The RP hasn't seen a single post in a full week, despite that being the posting requirement. The GM has to do some investigating to see what the hold up is.

-Ay recently joined the RP and made a single post with their pirate saying Ahoy to everyone, and is currently top deck. They don't know what to write next.

-Bee and Sea have been working on a collab for a few weeks, but the GM knows Sea is slow to post. Their characters are on an island.

-Dee's pirate asked E's pirate a question, but E hasn't been online for two weeks. Their characters are bottom deck.

-Ef is currently on an IRL cruise and won't be available to post for another week. Their character is on top deck.

In this example, people aren't posting due to a gridlock caused by momentary and possibly permanent player absences. So now that we have identified the problem, we can start to address it. We can tell player Ay that there are no active players on the top deck, or we could make an NPC pirate greet their character. Bee and Sea could be asked to post their collab as-is, or we can wait a bit longer if Bee reports that the collab is making progress. (I personally prefer to only collab with players when I can push out the collab quickly. But that is a topic for later.) E has likely encountered an emergency or has left the RP. Either way, they can't be counted on to post. We should ask Dee to disengage E's character or cause our own diversion to force a disengage, like a sudden cannonball or explosion that knocks out E's character. as for Ef, there really isn't much we can do about them. They will come back, or they will not.

That is one example of how RP death can be starved off. It's not always that easy though.
