Beyond the Looking Glass: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Rina could only watch as her blade flew true, only meeting interference from Elroy, snapping the blade in half, but thankfully leaving Penny with the larger half. She briefly thought about assisting further, but quickly realized she would only get in the way. So for now, Rina watched, eyes narrowed with suspicion as Penny began her killing blow. She didn't know what was going on, but it was going to be dangerous - but where had Regina gone? She seemed intent on trying to get Elroy out of this alive.

Perhaps it was regrettable, but she couldn't let Regina interrupt this. If it even looked like some outside interference was about to interrupt Penny, Rina would engage with everything she had before they could.

Chloe slowly removed her arm from Divina's chest. Inky black veins began spider webbing from the crystal, its corrupting influence slowly beginning to spread through Divina's body. With a smirk, Chloe simply had her bestial summons place itself between her and the arrow like feathers, the wounds now causing it to slump to the floor, not quite dead, but certainly a little worse for wear. The beast fell, and Chloe simply walked back over to Divina, grabbing the former Beacon girl by the chin.

"Now now," Chloe smirked cruelly as the wound in Divina's heart began closing. "That's no way to treat someone, is it?" Chloe released Divina, stroking the side of the girls face as her body began convulsing lightly, the wings on her back thrashing as a thin, filmy membrane began forming as several more appendages began forming on the back of her body. Divina couldn't help but to give pained moans, losing what little balance she had left as her hair began falling out. "Shh, shhh, relax...just relax~"

Her body quickly began changing more, hair on the rest of her body beginning to grow faster, taking on a the color of mint. The wings on her back began fleshing out more, an eye-like pattern on them as two antennae began growing on her head - and from her back two extra appendages began growing. Within seconds it was finally done, and Divina was thoroughly exhausted.

The now moth-like monster girl fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Haa, and that's that." Chloe sighed. "Aaaah, really why do I work so hard for so little appreciation." She turned her attention to Su, with a smile, letting herself lean on the beast, patting its matted fur lightly. She turned towards Helga and Su, smirking in a friendly manner. "Well, I suppose I should thank you for your assistance, hmm? I'd offer a token of my affection but unfortunately I'm too tired, but if you find me later I'd be more than happy to respond to your affections~" She chuckled, before frowning and turning in the direction she felt Penny was in.

"...and I have to go make sure my friend isn't getting in over her head, heh. So if you girls will excuse me, I have some cleanup to do." With a whistle and a single command, the beast lifted Divina into its maw, intending on leaving the field for now it seemed.

I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

Paralysis had failed, it seemed.

Soon Ash found herself on the receiving end of the rubber frogs ability to stretch. The frog expanded its mouth, impossibly stretching to twice her size. Now that was something you wouldn't see in any sort of common animal on earth. In fact, she had to say it was quite...

"...fascinating."

Ideas on how to use such magnificent stretchy properties aside, she was quickly enveloped by the frogs saliva. Powerful muscles and gravity were working to pull her into the frogs gut. A small twinge of anger burned in her gut. Bah, she was not going to die like this. Not so easily. Not being eaten by some stupid animal! Normally perhaps one would stretch their bodies, trying to choke whatever was trying to swallow them, but a rubber frog had proven to have impressive elastic ability, so it could probably simply work around it...but if it wanted something to eat, she'd give it something to eat. She'd probably lose her test subject, but fine. She could always find something later.

"You stupid animal...!"

First, she attempted to use her claws to tear into the lining of the frogs esophagus, trying to slow her fate. Secondly, she concentrated all the venom she could into her mouth, Ash filled her cheeks with a massive amount of her potent venom, before unleashing a poison glob right into the frogs gut.

She wanted to help?...maybe. Maybe it she could. Chieko did like Aerith, even if she had basically screwed everything up back at the clinic. She wasn't sure how she could help, but...well, actually. Maybe she couldn't. It wasn't that she didn't trust Aerith, it was that this job didn't require more than one person. Probably. If they both showed up at the Vertti estate, it'd seem more suspicious than a single person.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Aerith mentioned Hiro.

that's right she...she...didn't see what happened.

"Hiro..." Anger began boiling in the pit of her stomach as her hands balled into fists. "...didn't make it." Did she blame herself for it? Possibly. Maybe if she had been faster to react, or had managed to successfully pull of getting the bandits to take only her. Maybe if she actually had that stupid clairvoyance gift. "After...after you left, Ahston tried to force a reset." She turned her eyes away from Aerith, grinding her teeth together. "...Hiro didn't...didn't come back..." There was a bit more than that - like them meeting Talus again and the 'lovers' - she honestly really wanted to see them again.

"But I don't have time to mourn." Was she just trying to be tough? Probably. She fixed Aerith with a serious expression. "I must find a way out of my predicament as well as ensure these bandits don't achieve their goals. Ah, such is the lamentable tragedy of a hero bound by darkness." Tilting her head to the side with a small smile, she continued. "But fear not, this hero shall see to the saving of everyone, be it cult or bandits!...but uhm, I mean," She chuckled nervously. "...but uhm, if you want to help a hero shouldn't turn it down..."

Fritzi hadn't said that she couldn't ask for help so it was probably fine.

"Heh! Foxy grandma hat?" Mie laughed lightly as Eiko left the wagon. "Well if you want to give me her back after I sold her all those years ago, by all means~" She grinned, sauntering over to the man. "But you have quite the good eye there, friend! I do not believe its the Vorpal Blade you speak of, but it's certainly a special blade. Forged by quite a skilled blacksmith! I was told it'd never fail, break, or even never lose its sharpness." She cast a glance back over to Mirt.

"If all you're doing is paying for services rendered, just leave the money there, I'll get it later. I have another customer to see too, hmm? If you're here because you were enthralled with my charm," She grinned. "Too bad. Not interested in crotchety old men. Now get off my wagon."

Late? She was never late! Well. If she said she was gonna do something she did it! And what the hell was this nonsense about which cookie being in her mouth!

"The hell are you on about, you dummy!" Isobel lightly whacked the top of Albus' head as he offered her the cookie. "Why would I want a cookie that was in your mouth?" That said...well, she didn't mind a cookie every now and then. Wouldn't go well with her physical fitness routine this early of a morning but...well..."Gimme that."

She swiped one of the cookies from Albus, grabbing Grarves by the side of his head and pulling him slightly away from Albus. The land dragon laid on the ground next to them, panting, tail playfully wagging as his head turned and swiveled about, taking note of everything around him.

""So uh, we still on for this morning?" She took the cookie and stuffed it into a pocket for now. Carefully, into a pocket. So it wouldn't get crushed.

...well that hadn't been the response she had been digging for, but Livia was used to dealing with Nettles...eccentricities. As much as it infuriated her, the swamp dweller was certainly skilled. She had been hoping to hear of some potential problem, but it seemed as though her summons was simply being as weird as she was.

"I see, well that is good-" Her eyes fell to Eva's plate, and the former noble's shoulders slumped lightly as she pursed her lips, a thin frown forming on her face. She was glad she wasn't the only one thinking of such things either. Odhra - a curious existence Livia couldn't help but to find somewhat curious. He was tolerable to be around, at least. "Honestly Eva...Odhra is right. You should try eating something a bit more balanced." Though she said it, she didn't seem overly concerned with doing something about it immediately. Instead she turned to her own food, giving a small greeting to Floofel.

"Good morning, Floofel." Livia returned the greeting taking a sip of tea as she glanced over to Nettle. "Hmm...Floofel here is a bit like Siobahn, Nettle. Her name is quite...difficult, if nor impossible for humans to pronounce. I've done a bit of research into it myself, but...'moth noises' is a little difficult to translate into proper words." Not that she hadn't tried, of course. Any amount of knowledge, no matter how small was something she was intimately interested in.

Finishing up her training session, Claire continued on her way to route ten, taking in the rest of the Mountain Valley as she did so, giving her pokemon ample time to rest and play, roughhouse and relax, and soon she had made it to Route Ten. Farmland stretched before her, feeding the largest cities in Isson. A number of psychic pokemon were working in the fields, using their impressive talents to help the crops and fields produce food.

"Alllright! We're makin' good time, heh." Claire grinned, jumping excitedly. Hm, she could stop for another bit of training, right? The pokemon here didn't look too terribly strong, and bug type moves were super effective against psychic types. It'd be pretty easy for her pokemon to get a few good bits of training in on the route. "Lets see...lets move a bit more slowly this time. Pip needs a good bit of training - eh?"

As she was looking for a good training spot, her eyes fell on the well dressed man battling a Spearow with a Togekiss who looked waaaaay too strong to be doing that. She eyed the man suspiciously for a few moments, watching his struggle with mild concern...until he broke down crying after his Togekiss dealt the killshot. Should she say anything? Eeeh, nah. No need to kick a man while he was down.

"Alright, Ralia lets go-huh?" Before she could make another word, Ralia seemed to have other ideas. The impish pokemon had teleported off her shoulder and was running over to the crying man. Before she could stop her, the Ralts had then teleported on top of the Togekiss. "G-gweh?! H-hey Get back here you rascal!" Claire took off after Ralia, who was now trying to use the Togekiss as her personal airplane.

~~Seleth~~

@PaulHaynek

The result of her words? Seleth hadn't a clue. Varjan passed out, unable to remain conscious for any longer. Seleth herself was equally exhausted. When she was finally pulled towards the infirmary, she didn't complain. Whatever happened, would happen. She just had to pray that her words and actions here were enough.

---

Seleth said nothing as she was treated for her injuries, merely taking in doctor Elma's words with silence. She had been given a good beating, hadn't she? She could tell from the fact she hurt all over still, even with all the healing. The Dark elf frowned at hearing the full extent. Too reckless, perhaps?...no, no. She had stopped Varjan from doing something foolish. Stopping someone from doing such a thing, well, she didn't mind a little hurt.

"I see...thank you doctor." Seleth replied with a humph. She was glad Varjan was stable, at least. For now she would say nothing about the drugs, at least until she could confront the human again. "I think I'll stay here for the rest of the day to be safe. If you could perhaps find some incense so I could meditate." Wincing lightly as she got up off her resting place, Seleth glanced towards the door. "Let them in. I am fine.....as well, if possible - tell me when Varjan wakes, would you? I have unfinished business with that fool."

Minos was lucky she was in a good mood.

She had barely gotten the grenade off her belt before Minos' arm met her own. A quick glance and a shake of his head was enough to tell her all she needed to know that he, was being an idiot. She frowned beneath her helmet, glaring up at the large minotaur with a slight, mildly unsettling grin. Not that he could see it.

"Bossman. Minos. Steak tips." She replied in an unsettling friendly tone. "We were told to clear this place. Whatever the hell that is, needs clearing. As in boom bang. Dead. Burning, preferably." She hefted Remy, glancing over to the man in the fetal position. "We got plenty of reinforcements outside, too, sure, but we need to save the cavalry for after the less glamorous work." The former merc reached for an extra magazine on her belt - this one filled with incendiary rounds. "And I got enough firepower to cook whatever that thing is."

But that was enough talking. If he wanted to not do that, fine then. They wouldn't get the jump on it. They wouldn't get essentially a free hit on something they needed to kill anyways, and he was quickly becoming annoying.

"Do whatever, but the moment that thing makes a move I'm lighting' it up." With that, she turned her attention back to the creature, not taking her eyes off it or the unstable man.

Ugh. Just shoot them and be done with it, really.

"W-wah?!" Alfy stopped walking, looking up at Kaze with a wide eyed stare.
"...Dummy, Alfy is an adult! Not a kid! And she is totally not lost!" Shifting her eyes to the side and giving a small chuckle, the small human turned and resumed her walking pace. "...probably. Anyways, keep up, Kaze! Shinies in this direction!" Hammer in hand, Alfy started joyfully sprinting towards the village. Kaze would have quite the work ahead of him to catch up to Alfy - despite her inherent clumsiness and the fact she was carrying a hammer almost as big as she was, she was still oddly nimble.

She totally wasn't trying to lose him on purpose, nope!

He was totally right though, she was a bit lost. The mountains were her backyard. Not these foothills - she meant the mountains further up towards the empire. She knew her way around them. Here though? So close to other humans? Well, she was like a fish out of water. A mole out of its hole. A gemstone dropped on a paved road. She did however, smell gems - and her nose didn't lie.

Ah, where she really did miss her mountain...she should go back soon.

She was caught up in such thoughts that she almost didn't see the other person on the road.

"WAH!?" But before she could face plant into a human this time, she managed to dig her heels into the ground, coming to a swift stop just a few feet in front of Hina. "...eh? Ahah!" She grinned up at the human. "And Kaze thought Alfy would probably run into you, haha!" Alfy giggled. "But no! I am not a klutz! I don't run into people, heh!" Blinking excitedly, Alfy tilted her head at the girl, circling Hina, before standing in front of her again.

"...I smell shinies. You have shinies?"

Kat got prepared easily. Remy. Her pistol. Two frags. Extra shells and bullets. Incendiary. Shredder rounds. Explosive rounds. If there was one thing she learned in Fenrir, is that you could never be too careful when dealing with potentially supernatural threats. No power was ever to little, and you could never be too prepared. Rich, coming from a loose canon like her, perhaps, but you didn't live as long as she did without some manner of forethought, as much as she'd just like to badass her way through everything.

Approaching the metal door that served as the hotels basement, Kat inhaled sharply. She'd prefer a much stealthier, solo approach. Each person in Fenrir had their specialties. Her was infiltration and quick assault. Taking out targets before anyone knew what had happened. Working with people, she could do, of course. Teamwork was mandatory in any situation...still, it made her slightly uneasy. Especially Thompson. She was glad he stayed behind for now, at least.

"Head open," Kat said pointing to her temples, taking a position by the door. "I'll keep in touch through the usual means." It was no secret that she didn't like speaking on a the job. Her telepathy was much better suited for special operations like this. Relay orders, information, enemy positions without the need for some sort of fancy electronics that could potentially also be hacked. Before either of them could say anything, Kat pushed open the metal door, rushing quickly inside with Remy at the ready, looking down the metal sights.

She was not expecting what she saw at all.

The rancid smell of spoiled meat, flesh and waste filled her nostrils. A smell that might have bothered most people, but it was a smell Kat was wholly used too. She frowned under her helmet. Whatever it was, it had caused a bloodbath. And it had been doing it for a long time, just from the smell alone, but once she reached the end of the stairs she was immediately caught off guard.

There, standing in the center of a demolished basement was something that made her eyes go wide. It...it couldn't be. The longer she looked at it the more different it seemed. It was the same, yet vastly different. It made her head hurt, honestly. The yellow robed figure filled her with unease she hadn't felt since...she tore her eyes away from it, fearing she might tear them in the process as she glanced at the symbols and eldritch messages on the walls.

But then, a subtle movement. Not from the man in the fetal position. No. Kat ignored him. He might have been dangerous - it was always the least obvious things that got you in the end, but right now she had to make sure they didn't wake whatever it was that looked likt it was sleeping. Kat readied her shotgun once more, aiming it at the pile of rotten flesh and clothing. It moved. Ever so slightly. Breathing?

"Minos," Kat's voice echoed in Minos' head as she quickly stopped walking, making a motion for him to stop. "Quiet. Movement." She made a quick, small movement to the pile of rancid flesh. "Breathing. Whatever it is, it's alive." The former mercenary slowly moved towards the monolithic structure. Her hand gripped tighter on Remy.

For the briefest of seconds, Kat contemplated her actions.

They had been told to clear it, so...clear it she was going too.

Minos would only have a handful of seconds to order her to stop before Kat reached for one of her grenades, and lobbed it in the direction of the beast.

Running into the shower, Isobel quickly disrobed and got into the shower, Ciervia stretching in the middle of the bathroom before starting to groom himself. He didn't even bat an eye at Cera, merely watched curiously as she went about with her prank of flushing the toilet.

"Gah!? DARCY YOU BITCH!" Isobel shouted, freezing cold water replacing the scalding hot water she had been using to wash herself with. The pygmy drake replied with a small chirrup of laughter, and otherwise did nothing in response. Meh, whatever! A little cold water wasn't going to dampen her spirits! Nay, something else might but certainly not a little prank! Finishing her wash, Isobel stepped out of the shower, quickly scooping up her usual dress and suiting up. The longest thing she had to take care of, by far, was her hair, and she normally would have spent a little longer on it but she had to hurry.

"Come on frost butt, breakfast time!" Dashing out of the dorm with Ciervia still clinging for dear life to her shoulders, Isobel left the dorm room, Darcy having already been pretty far ahead of her for her to get her sweet revenge. Instead she focused on getting out of there - before nearly running into another Dracona student. She didn't let it stop her. Once she had successfully managed to get her feet on solid earth, Isobel brought her fingers to her mouth - making a sharp, loud whistle.

"OI! Grarves!" The land dragons loud, hoarse call quickly filled the area as Isobel pulled her trusty land steed through the realms, the rather clumsy dragon appearing a few feet above the ground, falling, and then rolling over, tongue sticking out of its mouth. "Bwahaah, sorry boy! No time for belly rubs!" Isobel laughed. "Come on! Find Albus! Come on boy!"

"Bwark!" Grarves rolled over back onto all fours. Shaking off some sand from his body, sniffing the air and pointing his nose in a direction, giving a few more hoarse vocalizations, wagging his tail energetically as Isobel leaped on top of him. The first thing Albus would feel, was the ground shaking lightly from the sheer weight of Grarves. The next instant, he'd find himself being tackled and almost knocked over as the massive dragon began licking his face.

"Wahaha, morning Albus! You thought I was gonna be late, didn't ya?" Isobel grinned, hopping off her steed. Ciervia gave a little chirrup of acknowledgement to the other Dracona, but for the most part kept to himself.

At the mention of this energy drink, Livia's eyes widened slightly. Oh sweet merciful death. She remembered the day clearly. The Lindall household was never going to be the same after that. Oh the dear sweet innocent books that were harmed! Katherine's Dolls got the worst of it! She was almost unable to keep up herself, in fact, she was pretty sure she might have in fact, died once.

"...ahem, maybe my sister." Livia replied calmly, shoving the thoughts out of her head. "We don't have any of it here, as far as I am aware." Livia didn't want to crush her sister spirit, so this was an acceptable response for now. If she did find some...well, she could have Sio take care of it. Though knowing the ghost, she might just give it to Eva for giggles.

After a brief detour by Nettle where it seemed like she had to deal with one of her summons, the three finally made their way to the cafeteria. A lively place, that Livia wasn't particularly fond of. If she could take meals in her room, she normally did. Hard to study with all of this racket going on around her, not to mention potential interruptions from a summoners creature. Sighing lightly Livia stacked her breakfast plate lightly as she normally did. An apple, toast, some eggs, and a handful of blue berries with some tea.

"So how goes your summons, Nettle?" Livia questioned. "Trouble with yours this morning?"
