Fractured

*A frown overtook my features, as I had no real context for what she was getting at. Furrowing my brows, I considered what I did know. She'd gestured to my head with her little construct, which meant... She wasn't looking past me; she was looking at my brain... mind? What did that have to do wi-? I paused. My paranoia was... actually right for once?*

That poke was meant to do something, wasn't it?

@Lewascan2

*Deadpans, glancing at the skeleton before returning my gaze to you with a sigh and shaking my head*
...
*The question mark morphs into a clock winding backwards, before popping out of reality; I point at myself and make a zipping gesture across my lips, followed by a twist of my wrist at its completion—after the expression, I point at you and the question mark reappears*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>
*Markedly perplexed, I couldn't help turning my head to briefly glance behind me, just in case she was looking at someone else I also couldn't sense through the skeleton's spiritual deluge. Nothing popped up, so with a small frown, I raised a single brow at the girl and the... literal 2d question mark that manifested above her head, like she was some kind of silent Disney film character. Her gaze continued to look almost... past me, despite being quite focused on me specifically. I voiced my confusion.*

What is it?

@Lewascan2

*Rolls my eyes and sighs before reemphasizing the gesture, swirling the question mark once around your head before returning it to me*

*Having been unable to avoid her without leaving my seat, I resisted the urge to flinch away violently from the girl, who was still walking upside-down and defying gravity quite nicely. Maybe it was just paranoia, but some of the nastiest powers I'd ever encountered relied on touch. Luckily, I was, as far as I knew, utterly immutable physically and mentally. If that was intended to cause some sort of change, it should wash off me like water on a duck's back... But again, paranoia. The skeleton certainly didn't seem bothered by her oddities, but then again, he was so powerful that she was probably as little of a threat to him as I was. I really had no reason to assume malice beyond being uncomfortable with my lack of control in this situation... I still performed a personal sensory self-diagnostic however, just in case.*

@Lewascan2

*Gazes at you, but instead of making eye contact, focuses on a spot just behind your eyes*
...
*Points at you and a cartoonish question mark materializes above my head*

*I raised a single brow at that, but my attention was -rather unintentionally granted- fairly dominated by the Presence sitting across from me. That said, simple politeness dictated I favor her with a small two-fingered wave of my own, still being careful not to move too quickly, lest I superheat the air. My gaze flicked back towards the skeleton, but even now, I was struggling to reach my senses out towards the quirky girl, trying to get a feel for her own energy even through the utter tsunami before me.*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>
*Omniscience? Why was I even surprised at this point. Every time I finally became the big fish, I'd get thrown into a brand new pond where I was at the bottom again. Combine even just that power with his instantaneous conjuration, and this utter monster of a being could be considered the closest thing to utterly invincible that there was. If he didn't want you to reach him, you weren't reaching him. It didn't matter your size or numbers, his sheer sensory range meant he had the advantage every time... assuming his reaction and perception speeds were similarly up to par... and also his conjuration range for that matter.*

You're from an Earth? I wouldn't doubt it. I've been to two thus-far -well, maybe three if you count Cauldron's base, but that's beside the point. My original home and the last were two very different places on both a cultural and power level, so I have to say that, in hindsight, I'm not exactly shocked someone like you could exist.

@Lewascan2

*Stands on the tips of my toes to poke you in the cheek twice, then skips toward Alna and does the same to him*

*Despite Overclock being fully ramped up, I almost didn't notice the blue-haired girl dropping towards me until she was right on top of me, such was the absolutely stifling existence of the Presence and the ridiculous amount of immateria I was running across my own senses. That said, even though I only noticed her at the last possible second, even a second was a very long time in the face of my Overclock V5 senses, and it was fairly trivial to step back and put a meter or so between myself and her intended destination. I moved carefully and very much nowhere near my current maximum speed, as at this stage, it could be difficult to keep a safe hold on my own physics interacting with my surroundings. To say the least, considering my movement during Overclock V4 alone could make the air explode from simple friction, I had to move at a truly glacial pace to my own perception. The... rather odd -and objectively pretty- girl finished her movement, as my own resolved, and I couldn't help a fairly lame and confused response.*

Hi...?

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>
*My eyes flicked towards the fireplace and the admittedly compelling decor, spying a figure I'd almost taken for a prop when I entered the room, were it not for the absolutely ludicrous energy they were casually emitting just by existing. A... skeleton... Okay, not the weirdest thing I'd ever seen, but now that I thought about it, it was honestly pretty up there. Top spot was still reserved for the sociopathic genocidal alien space whales though.*

So... you know who I am? You've certainly got me at a disadvantage.

*I eyed the conjured chair warily but strode over and carefully sat regardless, unwilling to needlessly offend the Presence. Combat-wise, things already weren't looking good for me. The chair had appeared effectively between one frame of reality and the next. Instantaneous conjuration alone could be a hard counter to me, depending on what the limits of his conjuration were.*

@Lewascan2

*Waves in response, and walks behind you during your stride to the chair, remaining upside down and suspended by nothing, as if the level of the chandelier were the true floor for me*

@Fractured Legitimately, it's not even patience or about being fast; honestly, I probably have less patience for smaller posts, ironically, because they feel stifling to my creative juices. I just legitimately have the ability to overwrite things completely by accident due to my quality obsession. Honestly, I think I managed to get that post out in like 30-40 minutes? And it only took that long because I was struggling with the RP first-person style. XD

This is basically nothing (and I'm really not kidding) compared to what I would pump out for a regular post in a different RP (assuming said post wasn't like a quick turn in combat style one, and even those can have comparable size to this). It's merely that I'm a very detail-oriented person. When I write, I'm playing the scene out in my head like a movie, and I vastly prefer to paint that scene as well as I can with words so that I can continue to build off of it into even more details. In turn, I love having the entire scene painted for me with sufficient details that I can have the character I'm writing properly react without missing anything.

@Lewascan2

I hope MR is something you’ll be able to enjoy. We do detail through slow drip, which could end up driving you crazy haha.

*I couldn't help flinching at the sudden occurence, as my hands jerked towards the reflexively opened shoulder-flaps of my armor. But after nothing further occurred, I cleared my throat and tentatively stepped inside, the hilts of Bakuhatsu and OWCH retracting back within my armor's storage.*

Right. Cool. They know I'm here, because of course they do.

*In hindsight, there's no way they could possibly miss me if they had even half-decent sensory abilities. The sheer amount of immateria I was channeling could have twigged even an untrained normie's senses, and it's not like the Presence's senses were hindered by themself. Taking the invitation for what it was, I stepped into the castle's bounds, frowning at the lack of population within, as I made my way deeper, following my senses towards the epicenter of the overwhelming energy.*

I swear, Cauldron, I ever see you again, we are going to have a lot more than words...

@Lewascan2

*Drops down in front of you, meeting your face with mine, hanging upside down from a chandelier*

@Lewascan2

I have to know, how long did that take to write? I participate in Casual RPs sometimes and spend like two hours on posts half that long. You’ve either got to have the patience of a saint or the fingers of a ninja.

@Lewascan2

You may have won the prize on this one. I’d have to check everyone else’s first post to know for sure =)

For whatever it's worth, I think of MR powerscaling more like Pokemon than Dragon Ball. You win because you used your power, relative advantages, and strategy better than the opponent rather than having a higher number. That said, there's still going to be anything from low-powered characters to city/planet/universe busters. Most characters fall between city and planet. But again, if your opponent can't heal and you stab them in the throat, that much power isn't going to help them much.
