Martha Waters


Martha headed down the ally, and considered transforming and starting her planning now, but she figured she didn't quite need that kind of extra time just yet. No, she'd had her general strategy for a while now. They key, that she thought a lot of people missed out on, was there was no incentive to actually fight, besides in self defense. All she needed to do, would be to wait out until the very end, when others had grown exhausted and then strike. Was it sportsman like? of course not. But she didn't come here to have fun, she came here to win. Stick to the public eye once the Hex Night started, lay low, and if she had to end up on her own, hole up, defend, and wait for a chance to get back among the muggles.

She made her way to the end, crossing into a quieter part of the city, secluded enough to her liking. It was a small street, wedged between two buildings, with exits on either ends leading out to main roads. She exhaled, knowing that conflict, one way or another, may very well end up being inevitable, especially given that she was American. There was a certain home field advantage to this competition, in that she definitely stuck out like a sore thumb, where as she wouldn't have any way to identify the magical girls who already lived here, unless they were parading around in their transformed state that was.

Martha absolutely loved this chance to show off and play essentially what was high stakes chess. Ironically, she never actually enjoyed chess. It was far too structured for her. Sure, she could make her regular plans and know exactly what steps to take to win, but real time strategy games were just so much more appealing to her. In chess, it doesn't matter who's fighting who, a pawn can take a queen, and there's nothing logic or reason can say against that. But in the real world, power is not so easily taken away, relative power was a major factor and made engagements far more interesting. That was why she always gathered information before a fight. If she knew her enemy, not only would that be one more advantage to have, but she knew if a direct attack had any likelihood of working in the first place.

She did hope she'd get a chance to watch some good fights, and in service of that, she decided that scouting out a good vantage point, one that would let her flee into the public if need be, would be a good idea. She stepped towards the building across from her, an apartment complex, and tried to see if the door in was locked.L Luckily, it wasn't, and led into a stairwell, on which she began her trek to the top. As she expected, roof access was locked, but to magical girl, that wasn't much of an issue. She briefly transformed, and forced the door open with her considerable strength, before transforming back. She sat herself down on the roof, and looked out to the main street in front of her, lying low enough to not get noticed. It really was a pretty site, looking down at the city from up here. She took a moment to appreciate it, taking this as a pleasant calm before the oncoming storm.

Bartholomew Rosecliff


Location: Ville au Camp - Kitchen House
Skills:N/a


Bart was about to open his mouth to say he was asking for a clarification, when suddenly, the world started fading out. Feeling a sense of excitement, that this might be whatever his ability is, he eagerly looked on. He found himself in a grassy field now, with a man holding a can standing in the center. He wanted to walk up and ask him if he had any idea what was going on, when something absolutely horrendous happened. He looked on in horror, as the mans stomach began to be torn to shreds, gashes of flesh being ripped and sinew being forced apart. He screamed, falling back on his ass, as he pushed himself further away from the bloodbath in front of him. He forced himself to look away as the world was covered in a flash of brilliant white light, before the world spun around him, leaving him gripping the ground tightly, tears streaming down his face.

Once the world calmed down, Bartholomew looked up to see Lady Evelina sitting next to the body of the man. He wondered if he'd be watching her revive him, but alas, this was to have a much more somber ending. He noticed the other Emendators with her, standing next to her. Furthermore, she was covering the mans face. He frowned at this, unsure what to make of it. It did seem however, that she must have known him somehow. He forced himself up. He had no idea what was going on exactly, but whoever it was, the Emendators seemed to mourn the death of this man. He wished that he knew who he was exactly, but that could be something to investigate later. They clearly needed time to grieve.

Having thought he was done, he was surprised when another flash came over him, and he found Alicia staring at him, but not where they were before. He was just kind of floating now, in a kind of black void. He cocked his head at her, when she asked if his question was fucking answered, tactful as always. He gave a quiet nod. Whatever was happening right now, was more important than him. It was also at this moment that he realized that this was, in all probability, not his power, but somehow related to Alicia's. He did remember she could interact with people's dreams, and maybe that meant inducing them in some way too. As he considered this, the world blended back into view, leaving him standing where he was.

It was at this point, that Bartholomew promptly threw up. He had maybe a second to try to keep it down, but that was to no avail. He had just seen a man murdered, the first corpse he'd seen in his life, and in a gory detail he'd never even imagined. He fell to his knees, and coughed. He placed his hand on his face to find it wet with tears. He sputtered, trying to get the taste of vomit out of his mouth, before using his sleeve to dry his face, saying, "You know what? A drink sounds pretty damn good actually." Which granted, was unusual for him, but damn if what just happened wasn't a capstone to the endless amount of insane bullshit that he'd been through today.
Can we get a rough idea of the layout of the city?

Bart recoiled a bit at Alicia, not especially used to people speaking quite like that to him, at least not in a very long time. He closed his eyes, and inhaled, before looking back over to Alexandra, who'd kept laughing. He was almost concerned the woman has some kind of madness. While he was all for laughing with her at the start, this seemed a tiny bit... unhinged to say the least. Not that he could blame her, Bart himself was holding onto the flayed bits of sanity that he had left. He almost wanted to reach out to stop her when he saw her running out, but quickly saw that James, (That was his name right?) had morphed back into a man, which acted to relieve a tiny bit of stress. He saw Alexandra seem taken aback for a moment, but at this point, she was too crazy to call, so for all he knew she could have seen a butterfly.

He was contemplating heading out to join the others at this point, knowing there were no more wild boars to be feared. On one hand, it's be good to go out, talk to others, and go into what would hopefully be a nonexplosive situation. Having a moment of peace would help a lot for sure. On the other hand, if anything crazier happened, he might snap, and breaking down into a puddle of tears in front of people he'd be spending a large amount of time with would certainly be embarrassing. He didn't think he if was quite at that point yet, but god if he wasn't nearing it. Making a decision, he gingerly inched out, taking one last look back at Sophia, and jerking his head forward, signaling to follow if she wanted.

Bart started walking towards Alexandra, and squinted out into the distance, seeing some kind of glimmer, or distortion. Normally, some he'd right off immediately, but today, he knew it could be anything. He closer at it, but couldn't make heads or tails of what it was at the distance he was at. This made a stop for a split second; he did want a break from the weirdness, but he knew it would be pretty strange he he just suddenly turned back now. Instead, hew forced himself to continue forward, hoping against hope that things wouldn't get too strange. He just actively tried to look away from the shimmering light in front of him, still stealing a glance every few seconds, but otherwise, forcing himself to look towards Alexandra and Alicia. "So... Where'd The Hat run off to then?" He asked, making conversation. Based on her earlier comment, he assumed she must have a pretty good idea, "Are tours still happening?"



Adalene Jones


Location : Outside her Apartment, New York, New York
Interacting With: Mrs. Cheatypants
Abilities being used: N/A




Adalene gave a surprised "Hmm." When she said that the husband had cheated. Whatever, her relationship drama wasn't her business, so she wasn't going to push. She was quite sure she'd find out everything in time anyway. "That's fine." She said following after her. "I um, didn't get your name though." She said, stepping ahead of her, and opening her own door. This lady seemed a bit hasty, but she was in a pretty emotional state, so she could understand that, she supposed. She stepped into her apartment, and looked back at the girl. "I don't have a home phone, but you can use my cell." She said, reaching it into her pocket, and holding it out for her.

She then pursed her lips, "Did you forget yours in your apartment? I could go get it for you..." She offered. If this guy really did cheat, and would have the audacity to give this girl a hard time, Adalene would love nothing more than getting to hand this guy his own ass. Plus, it'd give her more insight into what was going on, and she'd be lying if she were to say she didn't enjoy the drama at least a little bit. She looked back at the girls apartment, hoping she'd give her an excuse to head over there. It would certainly be more interesting than anything else she could be doing.



Martha Waters


Martha laid her pencil down on her desk, finishing up the last of her homework. It was tough, working in Japanese constantly. She'd been learning in school for the past few years now, and was almost conversational, but this was on another level. Her new school spoke, and wrote in it exclusively, and her host family, while having a passing knowledge of English, wasn't going easy on her. She frowned at the paper in front of her, confident she'd made several mistakes, but was unable to properly catch them. She knew she could go to her host mother, who'd seemed kindly and cheerful, but Martha has bigger things on her mind than homework. The Hex Night; The real reason she was here. She rose from her seat, and opened up her window. Yes, she needed to get out of here without alerting her hosts, and the window served her well in the past. She propped up her glasses, and gracefully slid outside, closing the window behind her.

She took in a breath of fresh, evening air, and quietly said to herself, "Alright, now let's find a place to get set up." The most difficult thing about this would be reconnaissance .She normally liked to perform hours, if not a whole day's worth, but as she would be actively hunted, that might not work out the best. She could, however, get herself to a defensible position, and lay a few traps for her eventual prey.

Martha made her way though the city, and thought as she went. She wasn't made for direct confrontation, at least not in the way some of her more spectacular "Sisters" were. Sure, she couldn't light a building on fire, or destroy a monster with but a thought, but she didn't need to, the way she saw it. Her powers were a toolbox, that if used correctly, would guide her though any struggle. She couldn't be snuck up on, and her reaction time was better than anybody else's, possibly in the world. Those two alone made her formidable, not to mention her signature. She smiled to herself, and slipped away into an ally way. Time to start planning

Guess who got 4 hours sleep?
I did. I'll post soon, but not before passing the fuck out.

Bart gave Sophia a look of disbelief as he looked from her, to the boar that was previously James, and his very sharp looking tusks, and back to Sophia, while Alexandra broke out in laughter. "You're... not serious are you?" He asked. Having just died a few hours ago, he wasn't quite in the mood to do that again. Not quite else knowing what to do, he found himself laughing along with Alexandra. He wasn't going quite as crazy as her, but he did find himself buckling a bit, and putting his head in his hands, before shaking and straightening himself, a smile now on his face. "No, no I don't think we should do that, not unless Alexandra or I have super strength that is." He said. He always thought that would be a useful, but boring ability to have, besides the fact that it on it's own would cause more problems than solve, it was just too vanilla.

Bart continued to gaze out at the boar, when he noticed Alicia come into view. If anybody could handle this, surely it would be her, right? She was the most experienced Paradox here, to his knowledge. He stuck his head out the door, and waved out to her, a concerned look on his face. "Hello!" He called out, "I'm afraid we're a bit... stuck." Making his unwillingness to deal with the situation at hand apparent. He was by no means a brave man, and knew this was far out of scope for him. "Do you think you could maybe give us a hand? The Hat seems to have disappeared at the worst time..." He said with a smile. He didn't like seeming useless, but he simply wasn't able to wrestle down a boar. He knew his limits, and he knew he had to respect them. He looked between Sophia and Alexandra, hoping for their sake, and his, that they felt similarly.
