The Twelve Labours: General Discussion

Alright. So, I got something planned. We'll see how it lines up.

Puella Magi: The Wild Hunt

@DarkwolfX37 Stop trying to feel like a doctor and start feeling like a child the day before Christmas. Geesh. Patience. Haha.

The Twelve Labours: General Discussion

... *mumbles something about maybe I can use this world I've built for the Eight Labour, though somehow I doubt it'll be much happier, haha, I should have seen that one coming*...

RPGC #7 -- Loyalty/Resistance Voting AND Discussion

@mdk So, um. Not sure why, but you said it was a big favor to tally the votes, so, I guess I could take on that extremely strenuous task of counting the six votes. Hah.

Firebrand by @Shorticus – 3 votes.
Retribution by @RomanAria – 2 votes.
What’s Wrong with Johnny by @Dark Wind – 1 vote.
The rest – 0 votes but quite a few reviews.

So, um. Guess I'll do this, then? Sounds like I should do this. If I CAN'T do it, then ignore this hider. Haha.

Placeholder Victory Declaration!

Winner: 'Firebrand' by @Shorticus!

With a magnificent tale which grabbed half of the votes, Shorticus was able to obtain praise throughout our score of reviewers through the detailed trails that one single hero had to go through to prove his determination and loyalty. Keep doing what you're doing or get even better, we love it.

Runner-up: 'Retribution' by @RomanAria!

An entry which set a beautiful mystic tone with the beginning scene and enchanted its readers with the given story of a single letter, providing the mystery of the parts it left out in a way only a really well-written piece can. Wonderfully done.

Statement

I'm not part of the staff at RPGC and am totally confused at mdk's statement that someone can declare the winner, so feel free to hang me to burn on a stake if I did something I can't. In any case. When mdk comes back, he probably have some staff-only things to say and some bonus categories to award, so feel free to wait patiently until then!

Anyway. Terminal should have a Seventh Labour up soon enough. Why not check that out if you can for something to write next month? If you're confident in your skills, it is truly something to challenge with your capability at writing stories against!

Puella Magi: The Wild Hunt

Summary of my latest post: "Monika runs after the girls heading for the Witch while hidden".

Puella Magi: The Wild Hunt

Monika Sakovich

Monika had run into a little problem. She had hoped that one of these would have given her the impression of the perfect idol, someone to look up to, that she could confront and hope for the best with. But… none of these had left a perfect impression on her. That’s how life worked, she supposed. The, um, “strawberry gang” had taken off towards the monster, leaving the blonde red-clad girl. As far as she could gather, it didn’t seem like she or the white/cyan one was in the, um, “strawberry gang”. It was those three. For most Monika could tell, the one who was leaving had been yelling on the apparent leader of the strawberry gang about something which Monika didn’t really understand. Must have been something older girls or experienced magical girls knew more about. Now, then. Those were heading after the monster. It was probably Monika’s best interest to follow them.

That was their job, after all. She had no experience fighting these monsters, so she’d follow them and see what it’s like. Of course, it would be best to stay in the sidelines and watch those more experienced than herself deal with the monster. This would additionally allow her to learn the combat capabilities and personality traits of the other combatants. Monika had a considerable advantage with this power which she had been given. It would be a waste not to use this opportunity to see and remember as much as she could for the future. Taking a deep breath, Monika brushed her arm over her somewhat wet cheeks to wipe away her tears before she turned to run after the group heading towards the monster. She did not intend on fighting, but just in case, she was keeping herself hidden and held her cloth close.

‘…’ At least, that’s what she had intended. But as Monika had turned to run after the girls on the way, she had to pause when suddenly the more mature-looking among the Magical Girls stumbled and fell. Monika stared down at her, slightly wide-eyed, hidden on the side, since she couldn’t run before she did. Monika couldn’t run in front of the other girls, after all, that’d be horrible. The brown-haired girl was rather confused about this one. She was the oldest one, clearly, but she was acting like… Alright, so, finally, she got up and ran… r-ridiculously fast!? Monika suddenly found herself left behind, and quickly started sprinting after, wide-eyed and confused as to why the woman had started running at her fullest! … OK, catching up, and such, but Monika’s not used to such speeds…!

Monika jogged after, making sure not to run too fast (or close if she could catch up) as her breath could reveal her location, meaning she’d likely fall a bit behind. While not as much as had she been wearing shoes, Monika noted that her feet still made little noise when she ran with them. Of course, materials meeting and parting did make sound. However, with the sound of the city around, it was unlikely the rest would hear her for that, right now. Unless, they, like, somehow caused Monika to make noise or bumped into her. Hoping this would not happen, the hidden Monika was on her way towards the source of the disturbing energy, her Soul Gem reacting and she felt it. She’d make sure to arrive last of those currently running, at least.

Puella Magi: The Wild Hunt

@The book of bad juju There is a pretty large difference between being inside the familiar and being inside the labyrinth/barrier of the familiar. Monika was inside the labyrinth/barrier, thank you very much, or she'd have been a lot more traumatized than she currently is.

And had there been a Magical Girl in that, wouldn't they just have, well... uh... I'll return on that when I actually read the post and get what's going on.

The Darkness Descends (Fantasy Conquest RP)

@Legion02 Well. That depends on a whole number of factors. First and foremost, IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!? XD

I would suppose it could be possible that they could notice people suddenly fishing spirits in greater amounts. Or maybe they can just feel that their cute little spirits are being used in strange experiments. Penokio kinda definitely does not want the mages to know due to possible sacrilege they might be doing, but as the importance of the "pet project" might increase, it is certainly possible that Jonathan might go to the experts in magic for some qualified advice in what he's doing, since nobody in Orngat can throw a spell to save his/her life, anyway. But, heh. They don't NECESSARILY know. It might become bigger, that they tell their findings to the Order (and probably get one heck of a funding all of a sudden), in which case it wouldn't be strange if allies are notified and such. I'll just ask another question.

Is there any specific reason you're asking for? XD

Puella Magi: The Wild Hunt

Oh, people have moved on? Then maybe it's time for me to update myself on the contents of the IC and check if I'm supposed to post soon, again... Haha...

The Darkness Descends (Fantasy Conquest RP)

I have no idea if my explanation for how I can do that research works or not, but I felt someone has to do that research. So, I'll put my own survival to the side for a bit, for the sake of developing this... Haha...
