@Ponn

You remember what Amanda said, that they havent found the Witch of Nightmares yet?

Yeah....that's her.

Took a bit, but I wanted to introduce Maura's "Rival Force" into the mix.

If anyone wants to bother the other witches, let me know!

For the most part Jenna wasn't entirely sure what the plan was with Justine. The two she expected to have her came without the body and a simple reassurance was given that she was taken care of. "That's nice, but where is she?" She finished healing up Eliza and took a step back.

"Well," Eliza sat back up once Jenna finished healing her. She wasn't really phased when her uniform turned into a swimsuit again, but atleast she had a jacket this time, so she didn't feel as awkward. "Assuming they took a detour to the Cradle, they might have kept Justine's body in there?" She was still holding the Astolfo plush.

"Hm..." She doubted she would be a guest there any time soon. Especially with Beacon breating down her neck. She offered a hand to help Eliza up.

The witch waved Jenna's hand off, standing up by herself. "Thanks for the help, well, back there and now. So, how's Janet? And Cindy??" She asked her.

Ah yes, Cindy had spilled the beans to Trixy hadn't she. Not that keeping a secret was going to last long anyway. They had just announced such for the Sanctuary so people were going to find out pretty shortly anyway. "They're both okay. It's kind of a weird situation as you might guess."

"...Do they know that she has my soul jar yet?" Eliza's eyebrow rose. "Beacon, I mean."

Shaking her head she gave a bit of a smile. "I'm pretty sure they don't. Janet and Cindy have an agreement, so you and Maura are sort of allies through her in a way. I don't know how reassuring that is but we'll do our best keep you safe. Janet and I are... doing our best to try and keep some peace." The girl rubbed her arm. It was more like pushing a boulder up a hill. Constantly under threat of slipping and getting crushed.

"Anaya's probably in the same boat, in that case." Eliza sighed. "But atleast there are some sane people in Beacon. Some." Speaking of Beacon, now that her magic wasn't suppressed, the witch focused on scrying what was happening back in Penrose.

Jenna watched quietly for a moment before leaning a bit closer and whispering. "What do you see?" In truth she didn't entirely expect an answer. Her Third Eye had told her what Eliza was up to at a basic level.

Eliza's brows furrowed. "Can't really see much happening..." she mused, deciding to focus on something else. "Maybe I should check on Anay- Oh." her eyes widened slightly, looking to Jenna. "I don't think Alicia took their losing too well." there was a hint of concern in the witch's tone.

"Alicia?" She bit her lip. Mariette had gotten away and her initial plan to take Justine back to Beacon didn't quite play out the way she'd planned. "Right, I think I'm going to need a little more than someone's word that Justine is taken care of." She glanced up hoping she could get something more to confirm.

"Eh, maybe Maura can take you to the Cradle?" Eliza suggested.

"Well, suppose it doesn't hurt to try. Thank you, Eliza." The new Cradle patron being just nearby she stepped over and addressed her. "Pardon me miss Maura. I realize this might be a stretch, but I had hoped to see Justine's fate by coming here. I don't need her, just something I can see to prove to me she's gone." Her brain was coming up short on things she could potentially use. It felt like forever ago she'd been her thrawl. Picking out the finer details also wasn't something easy to do in the heat of battle.

"Hm?" Maura turned to look at Jenna. "Ah, you need proof that Justine's done for?" She tilted her head. Even then, she wasn't sure if taking Jenna to the Cradle was a good idea. Beacon could find a way to probe such information from the poor girl, and even then, Maura hadn't even seen all of what lies within herself. "...Maybe I can find something for you." She mused, her shadow turning more opaque as she reached an arm into the Cradle.

In searching for an item of Justine's, Maura found purchase of something feathered that she could pull from.

"Aha!" Maura grabbed the item, and pulled her hand out of the shadow. "Will this suffice?" She asked Jenna, handing the item to the other girl.

Jenna started for a moment at the feather before gingerly taking it. It was not something she expected. "This isn't... " She stopped as she rolled the small object between her fingers. Her eyes widened as she recognized her own handywork. "Wait this- this is..." The girl was shaking a bit with... excitement?

The Beacon girl had to stop herself before she exploded or jumped after the patron. Clearing her throat she held up the feather. "I used a purification potion on Justine just after she was defeated. That was one of the main reason I wanted to see her. If this is her's then I have good reason to believe that it's worked and she no longer serves Father." Jenna seemed rather sure of herself. The feather might do for her needs but it only inforced her desire to see for herself.

Maura's eyebrows rose in curiosity. "Really?" With her shadow still opaque, she looked into the Cradle herself to see. "Well, looks like our dear demon became an angel in the end. A shame she might be stuck there for a long time." The necromancer commented, then sighed. "Look, I know you wish for better proof than this. But concidering our circumstances, it's too much of a risk for Beacon to find out what's in there." she frowned, the shadow fading back to normal. "Mayhaps we can arrange something, once things die down again?

Holding her breath the girl let it hiss out a bit. It was an expected response, but not ideal.
Still it wasn't an outright no. Hanging onto the feather she nodded. "
That's reasonable. I believe I have enough to at least convey that she won't be creating any problems for us in the near future. I had hoped purifying her would mean she could be free, but I think we can both agree it's better to be sure it's safe for that first."

The conversation was inturrupted when invitations for a Christmas party popped up in front of each of them and were handed out to then pass to others. Adding that to her now small collection of things to carry she seemed a bit bewlidered. "Uh..."

The announcement of the Sanctuary under attack had Jenna let out a sigh. She wanted to go there so bad but that would be such a terrible idea. Beacon would be all over that place in no time if she did. "Seems like everyone else might be busy anyhow. I should get back to help heal and help the others anyway. Thank you for indulging me, Maura. I'll leave it to you. I'm sure you'll be in touch." Stepping away she activated her recall and returned to HQ.

Maura had already heard of the Sanctuary being attacked before Dan told the others, North and Evelyn being among the few who answered the call for help. Ready to shadow-step, she looked to Jenna. "Good luck." She nodded to her with a smile, before leaving herself.

Eliza, meanwhile, internally freaked out over the news. And by internally, it was actually externally. "How the hell did I miss that?!?" She shrieked, running through the portal with Valerie following behind unamused.

---

A call sung out for help, yet barely anyone answered.

Surely such a threat would call for more magical girls.

...

Right?

---

"Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god!!" Theresa paced back and forth across the edge of a building, as screams rung out from the Sanctuary. The familiar had already seen North and Evelyn rush in to help, but what was she supposed to do? She was just a bird! "Where are they?! They should be back by now! Oh, I hope nothing bad happened to-"

Theresa snapped out of her fearful thoughts at the sound (sounds?) of someone approaching. She quickly turned to her human form, and spun around.

Her eyes widened once she realized who it was.

"It can't be..."

...

Among the chaos in the Sanctuary, three women walked calmly towards the location of the monster, in contrast to the fear most denizens shared.

"...Ew." The woman leading the trio stopped herself before she stepped on a remnant of toxic waste. With a slight grimace, she turned to look at her companions. "Lauren, think you can clear out the sludge~?" Maribel Whitley asked the emerald-haired girl behind her with a smile.

With an unamused look, Lauren Corvus used her water and reinforcement magic to wash the toxic magic away, clearing a path for them as well. "Are you sure this monster isn't your doing, Maribel?" the Witch of Order asked back.

Maribel pouted. "Goodness no! I haven't been to this area until now!" she twirled her parasol. "Though if someone new has inherited nightmare magic, I'd love to meet them~" the Witch of Nightmares chuckled, opening a rift to her pocket dimension as a shortcut.

"The monster is just below us~ Once we drop in, Lauren should help evacuate any magical girls trapped down there, I'll deal with containing our little friend, and Rowena?"

"?" Rowena Beck looked back to Maribel.

"If whatever provoked the monster is still down here, can you be a dear and take care of them~?" She asked sweetly. The Witch of Life looked around at their surroundings, then nodded.

"Excellent~! Let's get started right away!"

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

4 years huh?

Well, while I'm here, might as well say a few words.

I'm not really good with the whole sentimental thing, so I'll try to keep this simple. I never expected Boss to go ahead with the idea of making a Danganronpa RP. I was okay with him not doing it, so when he reached out to me, it was a surprise. Well, besides having to show my crappy writing skills back then (and my writing was still crap at that time), I was kinda hyped to be a part of it!

But then, life decided to force me into a hiatus off site. Months pass when I check back on the guild and deciding, "Maybe I can come back." At the time, everyone was already in Chapter 1.

Speaking of everyone. Yes, my antics in the Discord were annoying. Yes, my self-loathing almost had me leave once. And yes, my over-ambitions might've tanked my rep with you guys. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry some of you had to tolerate this stupid kid these past few years. And if you didn't feel that way, well, might as well get this out of my chest now, right?

But you know, I'm...glad I stayed. I'm glad, cause believe it or not, I grew attached to these characters. Hell, I grew attached to Alice. She was probably the first character I had that went through proper character development (Not to mention my first character in a relationship. Hi Aime, if you happen to see this!) I even drafted alot of solo designs for her. Again, I'm sorry about going too ambitious when it came to her.

But from me; from Henry/Joe, Alice/Jen, and Mercy.

Thank you. And here's to the next project!

Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Crimson Cradle (Plus One Jenna)

Jenna’s eyes snapped up when she noticed Silhouette's hand also on Justine. Admittedly she didn’t know a whole lot about the girl other than she was part of the Crimson Cradle and thus worked with Trixy and Eliza, not that she knew the greatest about them either. Seemed to be a staple of the group. There had been reports that she attempted to take out the Inquisitor which didn’t quite sit well with the Beacon girl. She didn’t agree with the dogma but she was still a sister.

No longer inhibited by the null field Jenna communicated with any of the Crimson Cradle she could identify telepathically. She included the couple of Aurelio clones just so someone else on her team knew what was up. ”There’s not a lot of time so I’ll make this easy. I just want to make sure Justine is done. You take me with and if she stays down you can keep her and I’ll be on my way. I’ve a vested interest in knowing she’s no longer a threat. Might make things easier with Beacon if I can confirm her status. Sound reasonable?” She kept her hand on the body but didn’t really make any kind of moves.

Silhouette was afraid this could escalate but if they had, more or less, the same goal of ensuring Justine would never be a problem again, then that was a relief. The dimension rumbled as it cracked and continued to fall apart. Even Sam was beginning to get nervous and she was confident another fight would just end with everyone involved dead. She nodded to the girl who yet again shared her same worry. "I don't disagree, but I should defer to Veroni-" she suddenly remembered that she had a new boss in Maura. It felt strange and she wanted to have a talk with Veronica about it eventually. "Maura, I mean."

Maura was only able to watch as everyone finally defeated the vampire. She was tempted to intervene when Eliza was ensnared in Justine's red hands, but held back with Sakura rushing in for a Killing Blow. After the explosion, she helped Viridian up. "Is everyone alright? Eliza, you still with us??" Maura called over to the witch sprawled out on the ground.

"I feel like shit..." Eliza groaned with a frown, exausted both physically and mentally. While Jenna and Viridian were able to regenerate from the blast, she wasn't that lucky."Someone. Get me a medic. Please." Eliza waved her not-broken arm around.

Viridian hadn’t been hurt too badly. The plunger kept her a bit further away from Justine than everybody else. ”That looks like it hurts a tad. Bet you feel like a tumbleweed that rolled under an apple cart.” Viridian was already at Eliza’s side. She drew the Astolfo plush from her hammerspace and held it up to Eliza’s chest. The plush was enveloped in a pink halo as it spread its healing power through her body.

The necromancer rose a brow at Sil's reaction, then looked back to Jenna as she relayed her request. "In all honesty, I still don't know why you lot decided to play your cards with her, after everything she's done then and now. If you expected her to be redeemable, might as well perish the thought." Maura furrowed her brows for a second. "But, seeing as you helped us with her instead, I can tell you don't have any ill intentions. If it's okay with the others, you can come with us."

Jenna shook her head, clearly disgusted in her own right. "I don't know what they were thinking. Definitely was not my idea." Looking down she sighed and removed her hand. She stepped back and over to Eliza to give her a bit of healing for the pain. "I'll heal you some more once we're not about to die." She reached down to help the light witch up.

”I don't think there's time!” The southern girl cradled Eliza in her arms, letting her broken arm rest on her stomach. ”Hold onto him darlin’ I’m gunna see about gettin’ us out of here.”

As soon as Viridian started running, Veronica gently set her heel on top of Justine’s chest.

”Well this was disappointing.” The scarlet haired woman looked down at Justine’s body if she were nothing but an insect. ”This would have been the first time we crossed blades with each other, and she was taken out by some no name. There was hardly any reason for me to show up at all.”

Silhouette had straightened her posture when Veronica had placed her foot on the vampire. She had wanted to plunge a knife into Justine's chest or at least did some damage to the girl herself, but the minimal distraction she provided would have to satisfy her. "In any case, that's one problem we shouldn't have to worry about anymore." Of course, that just left a lot of other things.

Veronica seemed unshaken by the collapsing dimension. ”Do you mind speaking out loud? It’s bothersome to read your thoughts, Jenna..”

Shrugging the Beacon girl spoke up. "No, I think it's fine now."

"Well at a technical standpoint, it took more than a no name to bring her down-" Maura spoke up, then looked at their suroundings. "But we can discuss this later, deal with the body and let's go!" She used her dark magic to propel herself to the portal in a sprint, anyone lagging behind she'd quickly grab.

Seeing as a number of them had taken off toward Dan's portal, Jenna figured that was the plan. "Okay, guess I'll see you outside. Here's hoping everyone else out there takes my showing up alright." Probably won't be the most popular person around at the moment. She said she'd let them handle Justine so she wasn't going to worry about it. Taking off running she went for the portal as well.

Silhouette would lean down and pick up Justine's body with little effort after Veronica moved her foot. She was kinda jealous. Samantha glanced back towards Sonia and was about to ask what they should do with her when she noticed the girl was gone. Someone must've grabbed her while they were focused on Justine. She saw it as a potential to fight Sonia later and left it at that.

Since the others had begun to set off towards the portal, Samantha looked at Veronica. "I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but I have questions I want to ask," she adjusted her grip on Justine. "It can wait for now, please hurry out. I'll follow."

”There won’t be any need for that. Hurrying, I mean.”

Veronica’s shadow spread out across the ground, becoming a circle big enough to contain Samantha, Justine, and herself. It briefly looked like the cradle’s insignia before an aligator like maw jetted out of the ground and swallowed the three of them, pulling them all into the shadow and vanishing from sight. All that remained was a bubbling pool of “tar” that swiftly fizzled out. Provided Samantha decided to remain nearby. [See famished? We can both use conditionality statements in roleplaying. Hahaha!] u have small pp

Meanwhile on the collapsing mansion, Trixy was having a hard time holding her footing.

”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA! ;-; ” A tear rolled down her cheek. ”We did it, Dusty, but I’m afraid I’ll be joining you this time!” Viridian blew past her, still carrying Eliza in her arms. ”W-what am I? Chop liver or some-” Trixy was quickly snatched up under Maura’s arm as she left through the portal.

Jenna followed just behind into the tropical world filled with the enemy. Surely this will be a grand ol' time.
