Marietta smiled at the young looking saber. He certainly had a certain...charm to him. A certain naive heroic charm she found mildly annoying. Chuckling lightly, Mary accepted the hand briefly. She'd have said something, but it seemed as though her own servant, Assassin, was being rather uncooperative. How did he expect to set a rendezvous point when they didn't even know where they were? She merely gave Diomedes a disapproving look as he spoke. The other one wasn't quite so helpful either.

But at least she had the correct attitude. Movement first, discuss a more concrete plan once they were certainly safe.

"Assassin, try to use-" Before she could finish her remark, an arrow pierced the air, almost taking out the advanced servants and slamming into Trolius' head before harmlessly bouncing off. This of course, caused Marietta to immediately position herself next to Saber. Even as the other servant approached in a seemingly non-hostile way, she didn't take her eyes off him, nor let her own guard down. Trolius and Hector? Were these the other two servants she had picked up?

How troublesome.

"...Curb your enthusiasm, for a moment, Saber." Marietta replied coolly. Another servant...what was it doing here? "Do keep in mind he did attack us, even without intent to injure." Marietta stared down Pandarus. "...but you do at least, not seem hostile, and have some acquaintance with all three of my current servants. I assume you also know what is going on here. So I'll ask nicely once for you to explain, and if possible lead us to a safe place."

Livia walked into the club. Really why was she even doing this? The cute and fluffy club was nothing but a distraction. Waste of time. Curse Eva for forging her signature on something. Ugh, she could be doing something far more important. She glanced over to Eva with a mildly cold expression before sighing. Well...maybe not a total waste of time if it made Eva happy. All she had to do was ask though, hmph.

"Puer Tea, Floofel." She preemptively replied.

Livia took a seat next to Eva, eyeing Nikola and the chocolates critically before sighing dismissively. Well, it was probably something Eva would enjoy, but then Eva had a tendency to enjoy almost anything. She wasn't a particularly hard girl to please if one knew how to do it.

"Hello, sister." Livia greeted Eva with a small smile. "What's on the agenda for today? Here to pester Siobahn some more?"

@Ammokkx

Alright welp, made the edits. Hopefully this explains things much clearer. If not, well then I dunno what to say other than RIP me, time to go come up with something else a bit simpler.

Noise Birb's abilities

Abilities:
Shockwave Blasts - Aside from her acrobatic prowess and agility, Nehla possess the ability to generate destructive blasts of force. This can manifest a number of ways, either physically striking something to deliver a close range blast of force, or at a range by building up force within her wings and sending a devastating blast over a large radius. Even the smallest of her movements can generate enough force to shatter and crumble steel, only needing to amplify the force generated by the wave.

Such blasts deals considerable amount of concussive force to whatever hits it. At maximum power such force can even decimate buildings and crumble even the strongest of objects, and shake the very earth itself. As long as there is a medium for the force to move through and a starting point from her body, she can use her ability.

Generally speaking, the force can't be easily directed. Once loosed, it travels outward in all directions until the wave runs out of energy, destroying everything in its wake. The only limiting factor on the size, is obviously the energy required to pull something on such a large scale off.

<Snipped quote by Rune_Alchemist>
I got caught up in the wording where you implied you could change sounds somehow, while in actuality, you're just creating general shockwaves. To call it sound is a bit of a misnomer, in my opinion.

I think laying out the exact science behind a power is the exact wrong way to go about it, though, because if we go into the technicality of how it physically happens, then it becomes a bit too grounded in reality for my taste. Try tweaking it a bit so it's not so scienc-ey.

(Also I might be off-base on some of this- if I'm wrong, apologies. Also apologies if I missed the point entirely. I am not smart cookie.)

@Ammokkx

Nah, I think you got it right. Now that I had a chance to think about it, I think that sounds pretty much what I was going for in a general sense. Sorry about the science thing. I do have a tendency to do that with stuff, hah.

I'll get to rewording it soon with that in mind, and if that still don't work I'll think about doing something else.

Re:Unison

The way I understand it, what humans perceive is sound is a result of a pressure wave - whether audible or not to the human ear. That pressure wave then creates vibrations as it travels through a medium, thus disturbing it and creating those vibrations. Those vibrations are then translated as 'Sound'. As an example, a Sonic Boom travels at different speeds and sounds vastly different in air than it would in water, which is the result of the pressure wave moving through a different medium.

If that's not how it works then welp, everything I know is a lie and that's how I've always been using this sort of power in my like, ten plus years of RPing and boy do I feel silly.

That said, to make things a bit easier and less confusing, I'll just come up with something a bit more appropriate after I get some food in me.

Re:Unison

<Snipped quote by Rune_Alchemist>

So I thought I recognized that girl, and I was right. It's Hoodier's girl!

1: While it's technically possible to earn a scholarship through an institute like Geiru and transition back to a normal, higher education if you take some competency tests, it still seems like a weird choice to me. It doesn't look like Chidori is particularly interested in protecting the nation and it's not like the institute itself will delve particularly deep into science, which is her forte. Could you explain this a bit more?

@Ammokkx

A rash decision mostly, bought on by a desire to particularly just get herself away from her family. She's smart, but doesn't have a lot of world experience and just did what seemed like a good idea at the time. A big factor was simply a desire to see constructs up close, even hostile ones. She also probably assumed a place like Geiru would have like an R&D department or something she could get into.

If not, well, she'll have to deal with that.

2: Nehla's power is a bit too vague for me, and doesn't seem to match up too well with her visual design. A friend of mine suggested you might be going for a "siren" angle since the one line of hers mentioned singing, but if that's the case, how does she release shockwaves into the earth? Face-plant and yell into the ground? There needs to be some more explanation on *how* her powers work, I feel, not just what effect they could have.

Give me some more of that and I'll prolly be fine with this, most of this seems alright to me.

@Ammokkx

Whoops. Dropped the ball on that bit.

It'd be hard for her to make an earthquake, but it would certainly be possible. Dive her talons into the ground, amplify the resulting vibrations downwards, and you get an earthquake. More realistically, she'd probably use something like the beating of her wings to generate directed blasts of pressure towards targets, and as you said her 'voice' in a way similar as a constant stream of pressure to blast something.

If you're not sold on the power though and don't think it fits her visually, I don't mind changing it. Just felt like doing something like a standard thunder or wind bird would be a bit cliche and a change of pace from what I normally do. I wasn't particularly going for a siren feel at all, though. The whole thing about finding her voice was simply a metaphor for Chidori's lack of confidence and Nehls excess of it.

Suppose I could go for a more Siren angle, but I don't really know what that would entail at the moment.

Re:Unison

Chidori

Kaji Chidori

Age:
17

Personality:
Kind of a klutzy wallflower.

Chidori easily blends into the background of places, not having very much of a presence, especially when compared to her constant companion who easily overshadows her in both terms of beauty and general presence. She absolutely loathes being the center of the attention, wanting nothing more than to not stand out in any significant way.

When around others, she tries her best to be cheery, to let herself try and actually make friends, but her clumsiness and pervasive sense of self doubt is utterly detrimental to any sort of social ability. Stumbles over words, doesn't like arguing and tends to choose the path of least resistance when doing things.

Despite all this however, Chidori is blessed with an acute mind - vastly intelligent and easily outshines most other people her age. While she isn't quite a prodigy, she has poured her heart and soul into studying the sciences and Constructs and will easily, if given the chance, talk your ear off about nuclear power, hover boards and her general love of constructs in general.

Background:
Born and raised in the Shinchi region by a fairly normal somewhat well off family, Chidori didn't have what one might call a happy upbringing. Her parents gave her plenty of love. Plenty of support growing up, and couldn't have asked for a better child. Her parents were the owners of a rather well off construction company and from an early age she was expected to pick up the mantle.

Yet, that was something she never wanted.

When she was old enough, she expressed her interest in the sciences to her parents. Of course, doing something like that when they considered the family company far more important was simply absurd to them.

So the fights started.

Chidori tried to ignore it, and focus on her own studies into the more academic fields. Sciences, atomic energy, constructs...but she could never shake the feeling she was in the wrong. She was the one who messed up. It wasn't exactly bad, was it? but...she couldn't do something like run a company. Her parents constantly pressuring her wasn't helpful. She wasn't cut out for it, she knew that much. And school wasn't much better - constant harassment and bullying in the typical fashion. Her clumsiness didn't help and made her an easy target for some of the less nicely inclined kids.

Finally having enough of it all, she decided she'd do something about it. She made herself a construct and applied to the Geiru institute. Making it in secret was no easy task, but she managed to without her parents finding out about it. When everything was said and done, a creature with an almost ethereal grace stood before her, and simply said.

"...to timid to sing yourself, are you? Very well - I'll sing for both of us until you find your voice."

Magic:
Chidori's magic focuses heavily on creating and manipulating an objects gravity, mostly focusing on her own, personal gravity so she can float, fly, fling herself at high speeds in a direction, create fields of denser or lesser gravity, and creating 'gravity wells' that cause anything around them to be drawn towards it. Strength varies, and stronger and larger wells are rather tiring.

Noise Bird

Name:

Nehla

Type:
Humanoid

Personality:
Perhaps where Chidori doesn't quite so like herself, that's why Nehla was created with something she doesn't want to quite admit she has. That is faith in oneself.

...though it manifested in a slightly antagonistic tendency.

Nehla is a rather forceful, cold individual. Proud, confident in her abilities, and utterly disregards most everything unless it is of a direct interest to her. While she is typically civil and polite in her mannerisms, the only human she seems to ever get along with in some degree is Chidori.

Core:
Faith

Abilities:
Shockwave blasts - Aside from her acrobatic prowess, agility and flight, Nehla possess the ability to generate destructive blasts of force. This can manifest a number of ways, either physically striking something to deliver a close range blast of force, or at a range by building up force within her wings and sending a devastating blast over a large radius. Even the smallest of her movements can generate enough force to shatter and crumble steel, only needing to amplify the force generated by the wave.

Such blasts deals considerable amount of concussive force to whatever hits it. At maximum power such force can even decimate buildings and crumble even the strongest of objects, and shake the very earth itself. As long as there is a medium for the force to move through and a starting point from her body, she can use her ability.

Generally speaking, the force can't be easily directed. Once loosed, it travels outward in all directions until the wave runs out of energy, destroying everything in its wake. The only limiting factor on the size, is obviously the energy required to pull something on such a large scale off.

Heyo, here we go.

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

Well, if Amaryllis knew them they probably weren't bad people. She wasn't quite sure about some of them, but no sense in antagonizing someone for now while they were still getting their bearings. Odd that people couldn't contact their patrons though. Not that it was odd for her, being without one in the first place.

"Haaa...man why can't I just have a day without something weird happening." Rina mumbled to herself, walking aboard the boat. For the most part, she didn't approach the other magical girls. No real reason too, and she didn't feel like trying to make friends with them. "I'll be up in the crows nest." She waved back at them as she walked, heading up to the tallest point on the ship. If something bad was going to be happening, might as well be the first to see it.

Thankfully it seemed like her misgivings were wrong. The ghost ship sailed, and it sailed fast. They were quickly at the resort island. Its appearance did little to make Rina let her guard down. It was just all too convenient. Maybe she was being overly serious, but this all just was far too much of way too many good seeming things happening at once. Arriving at the help desk, one of the girls - Shanon was it, proceeded to ring the bell.

"Am I the only one who thinks this all seems way to convenient?" Rina sighed, frowning lightly. "Looks nice though." Reminded her of where she used to find the high class blue-collar criminal types. She'd much rather prefer a low brow bar or diner somewhere. Fancy places like this just weren't her style. Maybe it'd be a good relaxing vacation spot though, but she doubted it.

Connoisseur of flesh? Well that was one way to put it.

"I prefer to think of it as appreciating the beautiful things in life." Chloe replied with a smile. Vermilion Veronica, huh? Quite the grandiose name. She hadn't a clue as to what she could help her with. She doubted she could in any sense of the word. Things with the Archive were progressing nicely, so she didn't need help on that front. The only other thing she may need 'help' with was the Mint. Well, no reason to think about it too hard for now. "But hey, if by meeting me in private you mean buying me a drink, I'll take you up on that offer, heh." Wings forming once more, Chloe's magic orb spun in place atop her finger. "I'll keep ya to that. Don't go running off with another girl before me. I might get a little upset~"

Taking to the skies once more, Chloe followed the others towards the main island. It'd probably not be this easy, but - wait why were there two masochists? Lily seemed to think she was a twin. Her third eye was telling her differently. Well then.

"Heh, well, someone's into some fun stuff." Chloe only stopped next to the two, making the comment complete with a knowing chuckle just as they reached their destination. A tropical climate, a lush resort, plenty of activities - all she needed now was her dear little Penny and this might as well be as good as a honeymoon. And...were those some beacon members here? Oh how fun. Maybe they would decide to get violent and she could actually have a bit of fun, but for now she played nice and ignored them. Maybe for some dinner and entertainment later she'd mess with them. For now she was going to pester Sam and Shade for the foreseeable future. "I still think the original is cuter though."

Re:Unison

Mmkay, cool

I'll see about getting somethin' up in the next day or two.

Re:Unison

Well this seems interesting to give a shot.

Got room for one more here? Dunno quite what I'll be making yet, but just to keep things simple, probably a human/construct pair, unless someone has need of a partner of either or here.
