Ashte

The bow, and arrow accompanying it, split apart into a golden mist that vanished as quickly as it had come, the threat no longer present. Or was it that the threat was present everywhere in some form that defied simply being beaten up? A spirit of an entire forest wasn't the sort of enemy you could just fight normally unless it chose to show itself, and they rather lacked the numbers (or perhaps current power) to simply burn the entire place to the ground if it were to start anything.

Slipping around to guard Flora's other flank, Ashte considered their odds if they had to grab the girl and run. Alasayana ought to have no problems making a mad sprint for it in the dark, at least?

Oh no, the trees are mad.

I wish him luck in both finding the voices and looking that well dressed.

Tyaethe Radistirin

Giving Veileena the best unimpressed look she could (whether or not it was even that visible), Tyaethe said, "Of course, as a paladin of the moon, I'm clearly more interested in accusing children of wrongdoing than protecting the country from evil. Mayon would have no issues with that at all."

Although that only went for Tyaethe, she didn't seem to be drawing a distinction between what she would do and what the knights would do, even if Fanilly was neither the most experienced nor the most assertive leader. Or the paladin who looked so young much of the time treating a nearly grown lady of the nobility as just another child.

Though her attention appeared to be wandering from the conversation, sweeping over to the well and looking down it curiously. It was still possible that the goal might just have been to desecrate this, right? Maybe, in that case, it would conveniently remain accessible with a bucket...

I'll post tomorrow.

Urban Starlight Wonderland: A Magical Girl RP

Abigail Hood

Elsewhere in Nerima, a large dog--presumably a Wolfhound, although it wasn't like many were around to identify the breed--sat patiently outside of a convenience store. A few minutes passed before its owner returned with a bag, the dog obediently falling in line as she started walking towards one of the ward's larger parks. The young woman was unusual for two reasons: one, being a physically distinctive foreigner, and two, being a magical girl who was not already transformed.

Abigail had been earlier, for a short stint in looking for any new Shades that had made an appearance, but no anonymous costumed figure was really going to buy some sort of snack. Not that she was sure exactly what it was... the packaging proclaimed bread of some sort, but it didn't look like bread? It was certainly coated in bread crumbs but it seemed distinctly more fried. Unwrapping and taking a bite confirmed that, yes, this was definitely a fried product. Filled with the sweet, slightly unfamiliar Japanese curry. So, not bread by any normal reckoning, how was it called that?

It was still somewhat amusing, the idea of magical girls using a chat group--though, obviously, with so many of them around there had to be some sort of communication--but Abigail had quickly gotten used to it and quickly sent a message that she was planning to hunt down a shade that had escaped into Musashiseki Park a few days ago. It would help if whoever had last seen it was available to make sure it was identified, but...

Hopefully, it wouldn't be too hard to find her, loitering at a park entrance near people's homes was quite awkward. It was only just down the road from Higashi-Fushimi station, though maybe staying there at the convenience store was a better idea. Too late to go back now.

Runaway Shades... maybe it was Abigail's prior experience biasing her, but too many of the magical girls she had met didn't regard hunting them down before they grew stronger with as much importance as stopping any new Shades that might be causing trouble. It could easily be a matter of perspective; back home, it was a lot more likely that the occasional Shade would give you the slip for several nights before it got pinned down. The countryside had lots of places to hide and far fewer shades overall, it wasn't surprising that more time was spent searching for them.

In a way, this park was a return to form. Even if it was mostly dominated by the pond and trees alongside carefully lined out paths, it was at least less concrete filled than her usual fights.

Laser Sword will come later

• Name: Abigail Hood
• Age: 19
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Obviously, she's not Japanese. And at 185cm... well, Abigail finds the local notion of a tall woman quite amusing, to put it mildly.
• Personality: It would be easy, from her manner of dress and demeanour, to come to the conclusion that Abigail is... well, a gentle pushover. Maybe someone a bit too exuberant at trying to make friends, but more of a calm background voice in a crisis. This is half true; she is very calm in a crisis--or as a magical girl. But very much in a dominant, "someone needs to take charge" type of way, her bearing all "Protecting People Is a Duty". That also tends to show through if dealing with bullies.
• Skills: Abigail is talented with languages and looking after dogs. She's also rather good at mathematical problems... in the more complicated sense, since her mental arithmetic often leaves something to be desired. If frivolous spending of money on friends was a skill, it's also one of hers.
• Brief Backstory: A British girl from a wealthy background, Abigail nevertheless had high potential as a magical girl. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one in the area... which, obviously, wouldn't be a bad thing most of the time. Except for the part where this lead to two girls who mostly lived in the countryside having to contend with a comically small number of Shades.
  She was, however, willing to take suggestions from where to go for higher education from a fairy and narrow it down to locations that would make some sense to travel abroad for--and thus wound up in Tokyo. Of course, arranging to bring your dog with you makes things a bit more complicated, but it wasn't like she wanted to leave her behind anyway...
  
  • Magical Girl Appearance: What changes is less colouration and more a surprisingly notable change in size. It's kind of like ageing backwards, and she doesn't have a clue why that is. It still leaves her taller than most of her Japanese peers, though.
  • Concept: King
  • Archetype: King Arthur
  • Abilities: Abigail's abilities are, obviously, tied to the items and skills typically associated with King Arthur. Of course, as a starting point, this only leaves her with two, and one of those via a loophole:
    
    • The Sword in the Stone: The sword that Abigail currently uses and a wonderfully straightforward piece of equipment. It's a sword that magnifies the force of its impacts more and more the longer a fight drags on--but it can also be damaged, and it doesn't get any tougher as this happens. She's quite concerned about what would happen if it were to break, as Abigail has the idea that it won't just be fixed next time she transforms.
    • Cavall: A hound with the strength and speed to bring down magical boars, Abigail can't summon it (or its compatriots)... but she does happen to own a dog herself. The result, then, is that Lucy transforms alongside her. Although, actually getting to the fighting if they were separated is a matter of some time. She also seems vastly more intelligent than a normal dog in this state.
    
    Passively, of course, as a magical girl whose archetype is so physically inclined, she's also reasonably physically advantaged. And knows how to wield the sword. That would otherwise be quite the problem.

Doink. I missed the IC but duh, interested.

Near total overlap with the already existing god of war on current abilities, and changing the domains doesn't help there.
