Bio
W I T H R I G H T E O U S H A N D S
Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.
Name:
Broken Promise, BP, Boss
Age:
Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)
Preferred RPs:
I Prefer to make my own, but will occasionally join something if it looks interesting. I'll join just about anything so long as it isn’t overly edgy/sweet, though it's rare for me to do. I don't do 1x1s too often either.
Preferred Roles:
I tend to play adorable characters everyone wants to befriend or proper assholes everyone wants to stay away from. I try not to play moral paragons or prime evils.
RP Conquests:
I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. Re: Zero: The High Council Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...
For some reason I can't seem to stay away from Ari's magical girl RP, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.
As for my own projects, I'm doing Symphony on High to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.
RP Graveyard:
I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.
And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.
Other interests:
Videos
I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like Tier Zoo and Daryl Talks Games, and I’ll also watch things like Critical Drinker or Literature Devil to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like Sseth, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.
Games
I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.
Painting Minis
I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...
Music
I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.
Personality:
Not one to take life or the internet too seriously. Is only serious about writing well and having a good time.
The problem is, is that I'm a girl and it's likely no one wants to do roleplay with someone basically pretending to be a guy.
There's actually a 1x1 check for a FxM romance where the OP wants to play their female character along side a male character played by a woman. So go figure.
The only people who flip out over cross play are certain (read: not all) people looking to do erotic roleplays. I guess the idea is that they either A: like the idea that the player on the other side might be enjoying what they are doing to their character or B: They are insecure about their sexuality. Since it doesn't sound like that's what you're looking for, you've got nothing to worry about.
Most of the people who like 3e like it because you can build your character to be almost anything. The downside is alllllllll the dice rolling and rule checking, which is why I think 5e has taken a shining to the new crowd.
But I'm surprised, because I was told 2e had even more dice rolling and checks to make than 5e did. I really don't know much about it though.
The mafioso cautiously watched the fight play out. There wasn’t much he could do with Penny fighting out there by the liquid waste. Asking his tiger to fight in that would likely not be well received by his companions. Besides, he had just brushed her up. Can’t ruin her coat now.
It had been a long time since Oros had fought Penny. At one time it seemed like they fought every other weekend. She had probably been killed by Penny more than any other magical girl, and for good reason: she was powerful. Penny was fast, strong, and durable. Penny wasn’t a spell singer, but she had every utility power you could ever want. Many times, Oros had heard people call Penny one of the most powerful magical girls. But to Oros, she was just a worthy opponent, a challenge. However, Oros was presently on a winning streak and didn’t plan on letting it end yet.
Penny just wasn't as difficult to beat once you understood her. Regardless of what iteration she had, she was always an aggressive, close proximity fighter. She’d just throw herself at you and assume she would come out on top because of how strong she was. And there was no denying it; her strength was fearsome. But it was also that arrogant pride that made her so weak. Had this been Oros’s first fight against Penny, The shape shifter would likely be dead already. But over the countless years she had devised a method for dealing with all of Penrose’s magical girls. Penny might be one of the strongest girls, but she was also the most predictable. Not that it was really fair to blame Penny for that. If she had died to Oros time and time again, she’d probably smarten up too. But while Oros had fought Penny numerous times, this was Penny’s first time fighting Oros.
In the end, winning fights isn’t about the number of abilities you have or how strong you are, it’s entirely the situation. And right now Oros held all the cards.
Attacking the tentacles that gripped the sword was a sound strategy, but this was a feint. Oros could use the power of gravity to take hold of the sword again and continue fighting. In fact, without the tentacles holding onto the sword, it could be swung with impunity without having to worry about hitting its own arm or if it could even be held at a certain angle. The blade spun like a tomahawk, refusing to be poached by Penny’s destructive hands.
The tentacles that gripped Penny’s feet were merely there to cause her to tumble forward into Oros. There was no reason to maintain them once Penny had destroyed them.
Oros’s nail-like arm would break with Penny’s swing, but that was just denying the inevitable. Pain was nothing the the numb time traveler. She did not even flinch as her forearm was shattered on the spot. The spike now had a jagged edge that was still growing longer, and with Oros’s ability to alter her body shape, the forward flying Penny would not be able to avoid in time. Her torso stretched like a snake, determined to impale Penny on the spot.
And Oros wasn’t even out of tricks yet. Her black katana was unaccounted for. It was actually hiding in the pool she was laying in, ready to jet out at a moment’s notice. Altering gravity like this was usually taxing enough for Oros that she only did it occasionally, but her form seemed to be absorbing the magical waste into herself. She couldn’t burn the mana fast enough. She’d split Penny down the middle.
Could Penny fire back with anything? Probably. She was preparing another Gauss round or some variant of it, but it was all too easy to counter. Maybe she thought she could heal away the damage, but Oros's venom would counter act that. It was just a matter of time before she transformed into the “Engine of Destruction,” but anime transformations were old news. She considered her “Warpgasm” a perfect counter to it, and had several kills against other Pennies to back up her confidence.
If there was one move that Oros didn’t expect, it was Penny calling her by "that" name. As small as it was, as insignificant as saying anything to a creature who’s only interests are rampant lust and combat. It made her pause.
“The true name!”
The burning sword floated overhead, Any of Penny’s severed limbs would get pulled into Oros’s hammerspace by various tentacles, the dark sword would remain hidden in the depths, and Oros would pull back her jagged arm after minimal penetration (if any at all). All magic had been diverted to a second shift, and this one was going to take Penny, and only Penny, with Oros somewhere more secluded.
“Ahhhhh…”
Oros had used some of the extra mana she had to speed up her shift. She rolled backwards and sprung to her feet, still with the body of a crystal creature. Her hands had turned back, and were holding her new and old swords.
If Penny cared to open her eyes, she would see that she was in some ruined city. The sky was dark and clouded over, and large beasts flew over head. The stomping of creatures far larger than either of them could be heard in the distance. Everything was ruble and debris. Nothing lived here, not even the grass. If Penny could feel the cold, she’d feel a chill.
“I’d love to keep fighting Penny, and maybe I will. But perhaps we can talk first. It just didn’t feel right to drop several paragraphs of dialog inside a fight scene.” Oros sheathed her sword. She attempted to put away her new one, but the burning blade didn’t look like it would fit in her dress anywhere. Not without burning her up. With a sigh, she thrust it into the ground and leaned on it.
“You called me Mika. While that’s correct, it’s also not the entire truth.” She extended her arm. “So let me explain everything in a simple, concise paragraph so that you don’t have to read some shitty flashback to understand what’s going on.”
Unfortunately, Oros doesn’t write her posts. I do.
“Hey Dina, wanna go to the movies later? I think there’s a magical girl movie I really wanna see.”
"I would be delighted to be accompanied by you, dorogaya."
“Yay!”
Mika had really fallen head over heels for Dina, and their feelings appeared to be mutual. Things weren’t always this way. At first Dina was far too high strung to bother with the rambunctious cat girl. But over time, Dina became more playful, and Mika became more mature. There were still times when they didn’t get along, but that was anybody.
“Thanks Dina! I really enjoyed that movie! If you ever want to do anything, just let me know!” Much to Mika’s surprise, the reserved woman gently took Mika’s chin in her hand and pointed it at her face.
"Even a lady has certain wants, and you can be certain of what I want now."
“I-I see!” Mika’s tail was spinning in circles. As Dina’s face came closer to hers, she found herself closing her eyes.
Nobody knew what happened, but the world was ablaze. Fires tall enough to scorch the heavens, and a pulsing eye loomed over all. The Mint and Beacon had finally pulled out all the stops, and everyone in between was collateral.
“Dina!” Mika held her lover’s shoulders. While Mika had survived Armageddon, it did not look like Dina would. She had used all of her mana, and Mika’s healing artifact was powerless to save the woman. “There has to be someone still alive. A-Alex couldn’t have been killed by that thing. A-And-”
Dina’s reassuring hand stroked the side of Mika’s face. "The past is gone, the future is uncertain... allow me to savor the present with you."
Mika closed her eyes, but she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.
Mika used a red coin to help put an end to the fighting. She blended in with the remaining Beacon forces and slew as many as she could, but only after they mopped up the rest of Mint. The damage had already been done by that point. Her world had been lost, and it remained a hell for anyone unfortunate enough to be a magical girl. An infinite cycle of rebirth in a world without warmth or light. Being dead for twenty years was starting to look more like a reprieve from the constant agony of existence. But even that was being taken away from them. It seemed like with the world in its present state, even the patrons saw keeping their champions alive here was a lost cause, and their circle of resurrection was broken. Not that Dina's ability to reincarnate had been whole to begin with.
Mika was cursed to walk the earth alone, until her final days.
But a creature who had yet to taste life took interest in this world. A quiet voice offered Mika an escape from this hell, and who was she to refuse? She was given a dark sword that overloaded her mana reserves, instantly turning her into a monster girl.
Mika never cried again. She would go to other worlds and set things right.
What was happening?
She couldn’t change anything!
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get her happy ending with Dina! Dina seemed to outright hate her now. Why was that? Why wouldn’t Dina be happy that Mika was stronger now?
This had been her fifth failure. She couldn’t stop the world from ending either. Maybe she should just set aside her love for Dina and focus on having a future.
Twenty failures, and nothing. Not even a little bit of change.
By this point, failure was becoming expected. It was less traumatizing that way. No matter how many times Dina died, she’d be right there again.
Maybe Mika was going about this wrong. She can’t save the world precisely because she’s repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Loving Dina is a mistake. Yes! She’d just have to pursue other girls. And since she can always move over to a new world, nothing will really be lost.
Yes! She would fall in love with everyone! And then she would understand everything! She would know the secrets of everyone she ever met. She would feel their warmth, their hatred, it would all be hers. And then maybe she would be able to save everyone!
W-what happened to Justine?
Mika had just confessed her feelings to her and she ran screaming through the mansion. Then when they kissed, she, she…
And now Sonia’s drawing her knife.
Mika had never seen Sonia more upset in all her life.
Penny’s body was cold, but you really couldn’t beat a tight hug at the end of the day. Mika was getting ready to walk home when Penny’s lair burst into flames.
Mika looked around to see what had happened. It was Thalia, tears streaming down her face.
When Mika looked back at the lair, she could see Penny was laying in it, her head turned into a molten ball of scrap.
Thalia took her own life shortly afterwards.
Mika didn’t stop punching the floor. A few minutes ago Mariette’s head was there. And while what was left of her face slipped between the floor boards, Mika continued to punch away.
But regardless of how much she punched.
Even if she erased every trace of her.
It wasn’t going to bring Deni back.
Mika had been putting off Su for a while. She didn’t really find her mother very attractive, or at least the idea of pursuing her was. Now she wondered why she hadn’t gotten to her sooner. She was needy and passionate, but Mika didn’t mind having Chinese takeout every night.
All she had to do was make sure Helga’s life gem was crushed during the crew’s first fight with her. But hey, at least Amber survived her encounter with Janet this time. Something to keep in mind for the next reset.
Mika pinned Alexander up against a wall and began kissing him all over his face. Was Mika bisexual? Bi-curious? Mika didn’t really think about her own sexuality much. By this point she had simply come to understand herself well enough that she didn’t need a name for what she was. She was lonely, and she enjoyed affection. It was as important to her as breathing air or eating food.
A shame she had to kill Lily before they ever met to make this work. He just didn’t take interest in her otherwise. That was fine though, she’d make it up to Lily next time when she Killed Alexander instead.
Just for fun, Mika decided to try pursuing herself. Way too easy. She knew herself too well. It was also very unrewarding. While Su was needy for one person, Mika was willing to share herself with everyone.
That was a lot of people to kill to make this work.
Mika was strolling by sanctuary when Viva winked at her and said something sexy. Mika just gave her a sideways glance and kept walking.
Not everyone was worth pursuing.
Mika lost count of how many times she had seen the world end. A hundred? A thousand? Regardless, she knew there was nothing she could do to change things now. But it also didn’t matter because there would always be worlds that hadn’t been doomed. At this point, it was all just a game. As long as she was enjoying herself, that was all that mattered.
It was getting harder to find worlds where Penrose even existed. Which was a shame, because there were a few people she had yet to get. In the long run, it didn’t really matter.
But for some reason, it did to Mika.
“…And then my patron guided me here! Now you know why Mika and I have the same color code for our text despite us being different characters! Hell, half of my abilities are the same.” She folded her arms. “Anyway, that’s just a primer for what I’m going to ask you. So you see, I’m actually not really with the Mint or Beacon at all. They are both pieces of shit that will eventually doom this world with their power struggle. While I normally wouldn’t try to oppose them directly, I found a babe who’s patron is all about kicking Beacon and Mint ass. So naturally, I need to make an effort to be their friend. If they trust me, I can strike. I'm too weak otherwise.” She pounded her fist into her hand. ”I’ve tricked Beacon into turning my nose into a weapon to destroy the Mint, and now I’m going to ask Mint to basically do the reverse for me. After that, they will hopefully collapse. It might save the world, but it will certainly get me some sugar. And in the end, isn't that what we all want?” She traced a circle with her burning sword which left a lingering afterglow. ”But this only works if they trust me. Killing you will put me on their radar. I’ll be someone they can deal with. But what I’d like to offer you right now is a chance to work along with me. The grand magistrate are throwing off serious ‘this needs to end now’ vibes, so I don’t think we have time for a popper fight anyway.” She cut through the afterglows with her black katana.
DS2 had shitty net code or something that made the "lag stab" really prevalent for a lot of people.
DS3 had kinda crap multiplayer, NGL. I think the expansion (which I never played) fixed a few things, but all the builds played more or less the same. If you wanted to PvP, there wasn't a lot of reason to spec into magic. Beyond troll spells like force of course.
Description: Vermilion is the spitting image of a pampered aristocrat. Princess length blond hair and regal attire are signature traits of her appearance. She will seldom wear anything that isn't red, and has a resting bitch face. After the split, her eyebrows are the only real way to read her mood.
Description: Viridian, in contrast to her sister, prefers to wear "fun" clothes and isn't shy about showing off. her green hair isn't as long as her twins, but she wears ribbons to make up the difference. She's less a regal princess and more a thrill seeking rebel.
Specialization:
Darkness:
The Cradle Mothers are a potent wielder of darkness, able to do far more than your garden variety magical girl. Their shadows can bend to shapes that no longer resemble what casts them, and can become tangible. But they are at their most deadly when creating a portal into the cradle.
Psychic:
The Cradle Mothers' psychic abilities are far more mundane on the surface, and nothing that a good master of the spec can't do. But their magicom network is entirely fed by their specialization, and they can freely share thoughts from any mind connected to it. Regardless of how you look at it, that's impressive. Especially considering how it can transcend dimensions.
Vermilion's hidden wrist blades. Her original weapons, which have served her well as her time as an assassin.
Cherry Shooter:
A musket with a red tint and bronze trim. Packs a punch, and fires faster than it's non-magical counterparts.
Merlot Glory:
A massive sword that is taller than two Vermilion's standing on top of each other, and about as wide as her torso. Even the wind from her swings can shatter stone.
Garnet Beard:
A bearded ax that really sticks to whatever it hits.
Ruby Eye:
A staff with a single red eye. Greatly strengthens Vermilion's shadows in it's vicinity.
Mahogany Bulwark:
A tower shield that is covered in twisted spikes. Is every bit a weapon as it is a shield.
Scarlet Edge:
Two swords fused together at the hilt. For stylish twin blade action.
A wand with some grass on the top of it. Allows Viridian to more easily view minds.
Verdant machine gun:
Viridian's trusty machine gun. An UMP9.
Viridescent Salvo:
A giant rocket launcher that shoots multiple swarming rockets.
Olive trident:
A long spear with 3 points at its head.
Lime Shotgun:
An automatic shotgun that looks like it's made out of bamboo. has a bright green color.
Emerald Mirror:
A round shield that can reflect some spells.
Sage cannon:
Basically a battleship cannon with a trigger attached to it.
Pear plunger:
A green toilet plunger, really?
Power:
#1 Regeneration:
The Cradle Mothers are tough to kill. If you somehow manage to damage them, it'll heal back eventually. Even if you cut off their limbs, they can just reattach or grow new ones. They will never bleed out or succumb to their wounds, unless you divide their head from their body.
#2 Cradle Space:
Functions almost exactly like hammerspace with two large differences.
The first is that any shadow connected to The Cradle Mothers or their magic can be turned into a portal that leads into the Cradle. From there, any item in the cradle can be launched out at high speeds, allowing for a "wall of Babylon" style attack if they so choose. That might sound strong, but that is not what makes the Cradle so useful to The Cradle Mothers.
The other difference is that REDACTED
#3 Twin-Soul:
Vermilion Is the main soul, while Viridian is her twin. She can signal Viridian to her position, but this is rather pointless with the magicom network in place.
#4 Third Eye:
Viridian can see things, except when she can't.
Perks:
Prodigy:
The Cradle Mothers are not just gifted with specialization magic, they're damn prodigies. On top of being able to bend the laws of what these specs can do, their magic confounds anyone who looks at it. Even 3rd eye girls can't easily discern what she's doing.
Mythic:
You only notice her if she wants to be noticed. The Cradle Mothers can walk through a crowded area filled with people and not a single person will remember seeing them. Even magic users have difficulty picking up their presence, and can't detect her magical aura, even when transformed.
Routine:
The Cradle Mothers have mastered every known weapon in the world, along with several martial art styles and tactics.
Ultimate Transformation:
The Cradle Mothers can transform instantly, silently, and are invincible for several seconds after they transforms.
Dimensional Shift:
The Cradle Mothers can shift to the overcity as well as inside the cradle. Though entering the cradle is a bit different. They must create a portal to it out of shadow, which people can walk in and out of. Anything in the immediate vicinity around The Cradle Mothers is not locked in stasis, but they can freely call and banish anything that is in the cradle to their position within it.
Interdimensional Lair:
The Cradle Mothers have a lair inside the cradle that is far better than any Interdimensional Home. It's a mansion that can easily hold a hundred or so guests and comes equipped with great food, furnishings, and waiting staff.
All-seeing:
The Cradle Mothers' awareness and ability to spot the mundane is almost otherworldly. They are very attune to sounds, smells, sights, and can even divine what something is with a thought.
Astolpho Artifact:
A plush designed after a romantic figure from a series of comedic plays. The true lunacy of love. Can behave like every other artifact, and is also said to make the holder unbeatable in combat.
Patron: Self Employed
Benefit:Patron
The Cradle Mothers are (correction, were) were own boss and have lots of magical girls to order around. There are no drawbacks! Though is she truly not tethered to an other entity?
Dark Empress features:
Dark Power: Cradle
The Cradle Mothers' Cradle is a dark magical power.
Mental Mutation: Controller
The Cradle Mothers have a burning desire to control the world. Establishing the Cradle just barely scratches the itch.
Empress Arsinal:
Magical girls of The Cradle Mothers' vintage have a lot of weapons. They can use eight in battle.
Empress Perks:
All of The Cradle Mothers' perks can be selected from the Empress girl table.
Empress Power:
The Cradle Mothers' stats are significantly higher than a normal magical girls.
Might of an Empire:
The Cradle Mothers have a squad of magical girls made up of player characters and NPCs that they can call upon at will.
Fighting Style:
They don't fight, they slaughter.
But they'll never actually fight, right? It's been too long, it would have happened already.
Personality: Vermilion acts more or less like Veronica always has, but Viridian is noticeably more affable and southern. Their personalities can seem inconsistent since they share memories between each other, which can cause one or the other to seem forgetful.
Mac had reached the limit of what she could do here. But she was determined to see this one to the end. She wasn't about to let anything happen to the cradle agents, not after all the assistance Veronica had given her. She ran in their direction, hoping to provide some unseen assistance.
“Very well.”
— Aighorost
Alright, I get it. I can insinuate as much as I like but it’s just not going to make you realize what I’m trying to say. Try as I might, you won’t be able to figure it out. So there won’t be any beating around the bush this time. I’m just gunna come out and say it.
I’m you.
I’m each and every one of you.
“I’m suddenly afraid of heights now. And walls.”
”Oh Su...”
— Su Fang N’ Trixy
Age: 50(?)/13 | Gender: Female/Female | Air | Uniform Fists | Focused assault, Power of Friendship, Dread wings, Avenger | Boteg Hammerspace handbag, Enhanced Transformation, Enhanced Outfit, Overcity Shift, Sorcery, Gifted, Ally(Nuncio) Focused, Subtle, Mana font, Mental link, Mystic might, Former Familiar | Limited, Alien mind, Paranoid, Vendetta, Former Familiar Dragon Scale Pendant, Ether staff
For as long as Su had been a magical girl, you’d think she’d start to realize that magical girls are by their very nature not creatures she can predict. She had hoped that Leena might have recognized her as the girl that helped save her life, and barring that, maybe Dina would stick around in case her strength gave out. Fanfan was right below her after all. But all Su could really do was stay calm and joke about it.
“Bitch? I’m actually closer to an avian creature, I think. Certainly not a canine.”
For obvious reasons, Leena shouting “die” and preparing to take a swing at her was almost enough to convince her to stop holding onto Leena. But it was hard to tell if the fall downward was more or less dangerous than the incoming sword. Fortunately it wasn’t something Su had to think about. A loli named Josefin had managed to show up just in time to attack. Only now Leena was holding her like a club, and using her like one too. Man, Leena sure had some strong arms if she could do that.
This didn’t really bode well for Su. She was not a strong girl, and it was taking all of her being just to hold onto Leena’s legs. She was swift, but with gravity acting on her every curve, there was nothing she could do to move her center mass out of the way.
It is said that in your final moments that your life flashes before your eyes. That you see all the important moments before you shift off your mortal coil. As someone who had been reincarnated a few times, she knew this to be false. When faced with your death, you wear a look of surprise, your mind goes blank, and then…
When Josefin’s body slammed into Su’s, she was thrown into the opposing wall. There was an audible crack as her skull rebounded, leaving a spray of red blood on the side of the mansion. Most of the blood was running down the side of Su’s head. Right over her ear and down her neck. It wasn’t a slow bleed either. Su could only keep one of her eyes open, and it wasn’t like she could even see out of it. Her vision was blurring, and her body wouldn’t stop twitching.
“Nnngh!”
She had a white knuckle grip on her own arms, and something like blood loss wasn’t going to cause her to let go. Even death wouldn’t free Leena from Su’s fingers. At least now she could understand how Amber felt. Throwing her entire life into a gambit to buy the others just a little bit more time. Though it was a little different for Su. Beyond her lover or her friends, she needed to make sure Mariette survived. She was going to be her mother after all.
Wouldn’t any mother willingly die before their children did?
Her head swung backward before her eye closed, and everything went dark.
Trixy wanted to aim over the side and put one in Leena’s cranium, but they needed to ensure Justine didn’t get her magic back before it was too late. She wouldn’t leave without victory, or the other cradle agents.
She turned her gun on Alicia, who had just kicked Helga out of the way. With no friendlies in sight, she attempted to bury a round in her chest. She’d love to have taken a shot at Justine, but there was too much going on over there.
Just a bit longer. Just a bit longer and this would all be over.
The dimension was collapsing. The longer they lingered here, the more people would die. But all of those sacrifices would be meaningless if Justine wasn’t removed from this world.
”I suppose it can’t be helped.” The scarlet stranger approached Maura.
”Time for that huh?” Viridian watched the scarlet stranger move, but was ultimately ignored by her.
”Maura, our time together was short, but I can see you mean well and have the determination to continue the Cradle’s mission.”
”We’ll always remember dressin’ up for the party with ya, even if the mission took us down shit creek without a paddle.” Viridian giggled.
Just as Mariette could only operate her portals over her skin, Veronica could only access the cradle in shadows resting on her form. She reached for something behind her cape and pulled out a contract. Veronica’s fingers thrust into her own neck before smearing blood across the parchment. Once she handed the contract to Maura, It burnt up in an instant. ”The Cradle is now yours, Maura. You may continue with your own duties, but remember your obligation to all of your magical girls.”
With the Cradle in Maura’s capable hands, Veronica and Viridian were no longer patrons themselves. They served the cradle as some of its strongest members.
”I can dispatch Justine myself.” Veronica drew her wrist blade. ”In order for Cradle to survive, her members must not die here. As my last order to all of you, you must ensure Viridian is safely outside the dimension when it collapses.” She paced around Sonia’s frozen form.
”That goes for you too, Sam, but I’ll permit you to finish your job here if you’d like.” She reached for Sonia’s head. ”I wonder, would you care to know what sort of secrets are rattling around in there? Who was Justine to this mindless thrall?”
”Oop!”
Viridian noticed Sakura’s arrival. She considered intercepting her in order to prevent Justine from getting another blood bank to drink. But she could also sense the magic welling up inside of her. It was powerful, and it was possible that she’d inflict some damage on Justine. The vampire had survived a killing blow in the past, and if anything she was stronger still now. Letting Sakura land a hit on her might be just the opening they needed to take down Justine. Lily was out of commission, so this was as close as they were going to get to replicating her attack on Justine.
She pulled a plunger out from under her arm and crept after Sakura. After her attack, she’d try to pull the mobster off of Justine. Worse come to worse, Viridian would try to keep the vampire’s fangs away from her with her plunger. Under absolutely no circumstances would she allow herself to get bit. If Veronica prioritized her survival in this situation, she would adhere to it.
@Majoras End Ari is going to post in a few days, so if you want to get something up, better do it soon. I've done all the posting I plan on doing this rotation.
The mafioso nodded. “Don’t have to tell me twice. Sammy and Faith are both friends of mine, and while I would love to leave Penrose, I feel that convincing them-”
Before another word could leave his lips, the world shifted. A cloak of shadow and stars had brought them all to the overcity. Nuncio was unprepared, but he quickly got his bearings.
Nuncio’s patron had drowned before becoming a vengeful spirit. It was only natural that he ensured no one drowned here. Rosa was preparing to pounce, but seemed wary of the magical waters that surrounded them.
“Pass her to me!”
Penny was likely more than strong enough to hold onto the tiny little doll. But there was no telling what this new threat was capable of. If they were confident enough to attack Penny, they had to be either foolish, have good backup… Or be very powerful.
When Penny turned her head to fire at Oros, she already knew what was coming. But there wasn’t a lot she could do aside from bracing for the attack. Most of Penny’s gauss shots operated by inflicting damage partially through voltage, partially through gravitational powers. If her character sheet is to be trusted, anyway. Oros couldn’t anticipate exactly which one it was, so she just had to do her best. She ultimately did this by giving herself “electrocytes,” or the cells in an electric eel’s nervous system that allow it to disperse electricity and shock prey. Since Oros could command gravity, she could also reverse the gravitational effects easily enough. Any metal bits would be slamming directly into Oros though. And it wasn’t like she could respond to Penny’s attack instantly. The gauss was for lack of a better word a bullet. She was thrown backwards, and fell towards the magical waste that surrounded her.
“Shit! I just cleaned these sandals!”
Penny used her cool hover jet things to zoom over the suspiciously suspicious water and continue the fight up close.
Only a fool would say that this fight was going just as planned. Few people intend to take a gauss shot in the chest as part of their grand design. But it would be fair to say that Oros was in an advantageous position.
During her date with that majestic yet equally infuriating portal witch, Oros had encountered a creature that could manipulate magical waste. The creatures in question had their bodies coated in an inert version of the stuff, but Oros didn’t see why it wouldn’t work here. And if it didn’t? She learned something!
Oros’s torso changed to that of one of the crystal creatures. The liquid directly under her was wicked up into her form, coating her joints with the color changing sludge. It wasn’t just Oros’s body either, her tentacles could take the shape of their limbs too. Two hands slathered in the magical waste grabbed a hold of Penny’s ankles as she flew over them.
Penny had managed to blow Oros back before she could grab Seepa's sword, but a third arm emerged from the ground just in time to catch the blade and swing it towards Penny’s back, specifically her arms. Oros might have been on her back, but she wasn’t defenseless. She thrust her nail-like arm straight for Penny’s chest.

[i]Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.[/i]

[indent]I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/157933-danganronpa-tower-of-carnage-finished/ic]Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage[/url]. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/173392-re-zero-the-high-council/ic]Re: Zero: The High Council[/url] Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...
Last RP I finished was [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/186698-symphony-of-espers/ooc]Symphony of Espers[/url] which turned out pretty good.[/indent]

[indent]For some reason I can't seem to stay away from [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/180148-darkest-before-the-dawn-a-cyoa-magical-girl-roleplay/ic]Ari's magical girl RP[/url], even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.
As for my own projects, I'm doing [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/191774-symphony-on-high/ic]Symphony on High[/url] to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.

[indent]I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.
And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.[/indent]

[b]Videos[/b]
[indent]I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHsRtomD4twRf5WVHHk-cMw]Tier Zoo[/url] and [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJfJWct8jN1RpCuVWk3zHTA]Daryl Talks Games[/url], and I’ll also watch things like [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJPFQdZwrOutnmSFYtbstA]Critical Drinker[/url] or [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz1fTbwui7o5aDZ6W1dOLTQ]Literature Devil[/url] to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD6VugMZKRhSyzWEWA9W2fg]Sseth[/url], but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.

[b]Games[/b]
[indent]I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.[/indent]
[b]Painting Minis[/b]
[indent]I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...[/indent]
[b]Music[/b]
[indent]I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.[/indent]
