Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

I was hoping to answer all three. Oh, well.

@Eklispe@Apollosarcher Well posted, I will get back to you soon enough.

@Pirouette You said you'd post a while ago. It's definitely becoming the time I should really move on regardless, I've just been heavily distracted by real life. How's it going?

Character Creation Competition #1

Oh, dear, gosh. There is no defined parameters for how exactly the presentation of the character is supposed to be written.

Whelp. This should be potentially chaotic and amusing. Hah.

Geesh, restrictions, how did you know I instantly thought of space pirates!? XD

Lunacy of Love: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Mariette should have a decent idea of the abilities of the girls in the group. ... Heh, anyways.

Lunacy of Love: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Mariette

and Eli

To say Mariette hadn’t entirely counting on that her speech would have been this effective would be an understatement. Suddenly, she was being called “savior”, lifted up by the girls and carried along, a very surprised Eli following along carrying the mirror.

The vast majority of the girls were those she had kidnapped. However, she noted, there was the occasional unknown stranger mixed into the bunch who Mariette did not recognize. It was possible that they were simply girls Justine’s other minions had kidnapped, but her cautious nature immediately warned of a potential trap. She had to trust Eli to keep a sharp set of Third Eyes on that.

Hm. There were 42 girls under her command. All weakened, mentally and physically, they probably wouldn’t be a match for a proper enemy should they run into one. Still, there were multiple ways she could use this.

‘Does anyone have a power that could restore my mana? We might need it,’ Mariette asked. Magic power was far more reliable when it was under her command, though she knew abilities to restore it was extremely rare. She only knew a single magical girl that could do that, and she wasn’t here. That said, there could be surprises among those present.

‘Alright, everyone!’ Mariette called after, preparing her plans. ‘I want us to split us up a bit! Firstly…’ she selected around ten of them, ‘I want you to seek through the mansion for magical objects or tomes belonging to Justine, anything that might be fueling her operations. If you can, bring it to me and I’ll investigate them. If you can’t, destroy them. I should be heading for the center of the mansion, where Justine is, but if I’m in a fight you could give them to Eli over there to hold on to, too. You can split up if it appears safe, but stick close in small groups so you can support one another in a pinch. Avoid engagement with hostiles as they’re likely far stronger than you, but don’t be afraid to fight if you think you can handle them!’ These prioritized those who weren’t much use in a fight, if she knew enough to reason. Stealth and speed were good traits. Also if she knew anyone with Hammerspace Handbag or Third Eyes, those were good choices to go searching.

‘You two,’ Mariette looked for fast or people able to communicate / watch over a distance, if they at all had access to their powers. ‘scout out the entrance and outside the mansion, some of my allies were fighting the enemy there. If the winners include a white-haired mechanical girl named Penny and a dark-haired Beacon girl with a bow named Alicia that don’t attack you on sight, tell them what happened here and that I am going to have us help the fight against Justine.’ So she said.

‘Everyone remaining,’ Mariette has intentionally left those who were the most capable in a fight, once again assuming they had any might at all left. ‘We’re going to take the fight directly to Justine, and we’re going to support my allies, who should be fighting at this very moment. Let’s go!’

Plans forged, she pointed ahead and that they should head off. … She didn’t really care if any of those she suddenly commanded were hurt, and their faith in her could potentially be swiftly overturned by a similar speech by someone else. However, she’d be foolish not to attempt taking advantage of this. Some of them could seek to loot the mansion for things Justine left around, two could scout the front of the mansion for the fight that was, and the rest could bring their arms to bear on Justine, if nothing else temporarily bringing her firepower away from those who could actually hurt her.

This mansion was likely toast. Beacon knew where it was now, thanks to Alicia, so setting up shop here wouldn’t be advantageous. This situation could go south at any point, which is why Eli stuck close with the escape-route mirror, ready for when Mariette wanted to bail.

So, Mariette was now heading for the cathedral/ritual chamber/whatever that place was called, where the battle should be taking place…

‘And break any lit candles you pass! They’re a potential asset to our enemies!’ … Just because.

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii I find your exchanges absolutely wonderful. Actual player characters sharing stories with one another, showing interest. It's so heartwarming for me. It's so lovely to see.

@Pirouette Currently waiting on your input in the Discord battle channel.

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Creep

Sheila Hopkins

Villain’s Meeting
Visible

---

So, watching everything around her using her power, Sheila had been able to stay calm around most things. Even when Whipstitch had thrown that chair into the wall, she had managed to keep herself stiff and not reacting. However, over there, this one lady cracked a glass and then cut her own hand. THAT made Sheila flinch, her hands closing from involuntarily imagining the pain. Why would she do that…!? … Something with her power, Sheila figured, but then her power did something to someone else when she cut herself? What kind of terrible power was that!? … Well, fortunately, it didn’t work in here. Phew, honestly. Sheila made herself calm down.

The man who had tried to take over the Rockers backed down from his earlier boldness and politely requested one vial. … Sheila silently prayed said new recruit he’d be getting would be the traitorous sort and they’d split, because she didn’t want him to get more lackeys. Humming guy spoke, but it was just a joke. Nobody here was going to drink and show off their new powers. It was nice of Benito to show off the vague outlines of his. Banishing and returning objects? Didn’t sound too bad… unless he could do it to miniguns or enemies, that is.

Broker spoke. That girl that cut herself was “Healer”? Healer of Lethal Force. … With that much black, she didn’t look the part. Why would a healer cut herself? Powers are mysterious things, Sheila concluded for not close to the first time. Then, Broker spoke to Creep.

Creep kept quiet and tried to keep her posture straight. She wasn’t exactly flattered by the praise, he felt too much like a sleazy businessman trying to get on the good side of a customer. Still, he provided the answers. Patriarch knew already. The vials had been stolen from the Community. Issued a recall, so the powers came from Broker but made a round-trip by the Community. Those were some odd circumstances, but alright.

Nicely enough of him, Broker listed all the parties that were present in the room. The Jacks, the Rockers, Reflections, Lethal Force, Purge’s Mafia, Sabotage and Retcon. … What kind of group names themselves after a violation of the unspoken rules? Someone intending to get into serious trouble, Sheila supposed. In any case, satisfied that she had a relatively good idea of where everyone around her belonged now, Sheila felt considerably safer. That was probably a bad thing. Still. It was something. She had a decent view of the villain scene of Denver from here. Broker listed some rules about drinking vials, and they were all good to know.

‘… Understood,’ Creep simply stated. Came with risks, of course. Drink the whole thing. … So, if she poured out half a vial and then left it lying around for the Community to find, could she screw them up from the inside? Worth considering.

She did not miss the fact that, with the Jacks unable to buy one, for the rest to be bought all remaining ones had to be bought by the available parties. If one opted not to, couldn’t afford or so, what would the Broker do? Just keep it? … Hm. Also, the mafia already got one, seemingly for free. She could argue they already had gotten one, but speaking out against this fact would require speaking out against Purge, and she wasn’t entirely at a level of self-confidence where she could do that, even if she felt a bit braver now. Huah. Okay. She could do this.

… Naturally, as a Stranger Sheila considered if she could steal a vial from the others if they bought one. Purge was out, and she wasn’t sure stealing from a group named “Lethal Force” was a particularly good idea. Sabotage was a thief and probably good at covering her tracks, and Retcon… was a complete question mark. Reflections? She couldn’t imagine that guy had amassed a particularly large team yet, it could be safe. But also dangerous. Using knowledge from a meeting like this… it broke the rules, didn’t it? … Sheila kept quiet and safe, though she kept thinking…

Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

@Eisenhorn@Rune_Alchemist Yeah, nicely posted, both of you. I'm very happy you've taken the time to post at the time you did. Now, I've been distracted by some things for the past week, and I'm afraid all of the next 4 weeks promises to be a pain as well, buuuuuuuuut...

@Apollosarcher@Pirouette@Eklispe Hello, this is your message asking how things are going! Posts would be very much appreciated, that or messages about who you're waiting for or why you're being delayed! How is life?

@Eklispe And nice quotes. Yupp, they feel they most certainly fit Titania's character. I would note that the "capped stats" doesn't entirely convey to the player that the stats are, in fact, capped, but that's small details. Nicely done.

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

@ProPro I vote for MB for the interlude. Sorry about the delay on that.

Pokémon: Start

@Pirouette Yupp. Nicely posted. Thank you for replying quickly. Now, then.
@Rune_Alchemist That discord idea has been started. I would like comments if it's working well. Anyways! More discussion on that can happen on the discord, too! Just wanted to announce that here! Hahaha!

@Dusksong You're holding up Erika's Poliwag- Nah. XD

You're not holding up anyone. You are causing me some distress wondering if you just vanished after your first post or so, but ultimately you're not delaying anyone but yourself and as such it is fine. Alright, then.
