The War of the Three

Miyu

@Awesomoman64

"Oh yeah, partner, I'mma definitely able to significantly affect who wins this here game!" Miyu responded back to Omega with all the obviously false cheer and drawl she could muster. "That's why I gotta keep myself at 100%, otherwise poor widdle Juno might get in trouble." She ended with a wink over at her chaperone, who was approaching with a somewhat unsettling appearance. "More seriously though, yeah, I'm... Uh.. Well, I'm just trying to uh.. stay positive?" Miyu did not look particularly positivie.

"Looking good Balrog, loving the new bod. I haven't seen that model before. Looks a bit like a Grafdakka creation." Miyu yelled over Omega's shoulder at Balrog, having no idea how kind of right she was.

@Flamelord

"Oh, uh, you're welcome Tartys. To be honest, I didn't have any idea what to get you, so I just got something I liked and gave you a copy. Still, I guess it is good to be back.. And maybe we could hang out sometime or something so I really know what to get you next time. Was thinking about making it an annual thing?" Miyu shrugged and looked uncertain of herself.

@floodtalon

When Henry threw the rock, it did indeed gain Miyu's attention, with her looking around for a few moments to see what the cause was. When she spotted him, her expression was surprise for a moment before becoming a wide toothy grin. Raising a half-drunk glass and a bottle, she toasted them against one another in his direction before drinking up. From the bottle, not the glass.

@Lmpkio@Awesomoman64@floodtalon

A moment later, Zeruel started doing his... thing.. And Miyu looked at him and then back at Henry and Balrog and rolled her eyes. She mouthed and did the hand motions for her earlier, "GRRR FANCY WORDS GRRR JUSTICE GRRR I'M BETTER THAN YOU GRRR JUDGEMENT!" tirade about Angels who acted like stereotypes.

@Mega Birb

"No prob man, help yourself." Miyu responded to Syphax. The snacks were going over far better than expected. She wasn't really sure if he was talking to her or Omega, so she responded anyway, "I'mma Miyu."

@KoL

At which point Juno arrived and treated Miyu like a cat. Juno may be used to hanging around super-strength people for whom it didn't matter, but normal level people aren't generally used to having their bodyweight and some change focused directly on their neck from the back. That was not a thing people were built for, unlike cats, for whom it's still not a great idea for cats once they're fully grown and there's some significant square-cube law going on. The result was an instant reflexive undignified panicky wingflapping that would likely slam right into Juno's face or something as her body tried to do something about the sudden unexpected pain.

However, in a moment, after she realized what was happening, Miyu activated her magic to spread out the force so that she'd be fine and stopped struggling. And she began sassing back as usual, as soon as she conquered the lingering pain.

"Um... I'm about to cross a narrow bridge while potentially drunk where one misstep will throw me in the same situation while people from other factions who wish me harm on both a factional and personal basis watch. Then I'm going into the home of a person who can inflict worse fates than mere death, who has promised to use me as an experimental subject if I screw up. Or probably if I'm just not entertaining enough. Care to inform me where the lines of dangerous or not begin? And why even care? Even if I die for realzies, you guys could literally give my stuff to any other angel with no useful traits, let them train with my stuff for a month, and you'd have all my vaunted value to the angelic cause back. Probably more so, because they statistically wouldn't have my penchant for talking back, cowardice, or betrayal." Miyu drained the half-finished and half-spilled glass, that at this point barely had anything in it, before having Daimyo toss her a small bottle, and Miyu started opening that. "That Angelic Cause that is so important of 'Continue everlasting war because the Nexus demands it in which victory isn't actually the goal'. Whee, I'm so glad to have been born with such a glorious and barring perma-death pit otherwise inescapable destiny!" Miyu was a complainy drunk, it seemed. Or, well, maybe she wasn't drunk and she just randomly swung between faction-bridgingly cheerful and endless whiny sassery anyway (My personal bet). That said, after this next bottle, given her bodyweight, drunk would likely be inevitable.

As the first card's effect happened, Miyu started paying a little more attention. That was kinda interesting. "Hey, hey, Hoho, do you call down cards on factions only, or can you target specific people?" Of course, Hoho hadn't paid attention to her last question, so Miyu was expecting to get ignored again.

The War of the Three

Aw, Juno does care...

The War of the Three

@TheWindel Miyu's not at an emotional high point at the moment, she's just coming to have something to do, with no thought to self-preservation. Before, she was considering committing suicide so that she'd coincidentally wake up just in time for the next battle as usual.

Hey, people, I noticed one thing on most of the posts that came until now. People are dissing parts of Hohenheim's explanation, or ignoring her at all. I won't say how you should play your characters, I just want you to know that there'll be no plot armor for PCs this time, like the huge amount of corrections and lenience from the previous battles. That's why we had that whole system set for Shadow listing stuff and all that. The battles are on an even field now, so we are gonna be impartial.

You screw up, you become a guinea pig for the sadist Alchemist. As long as you acknowledge that, you can play however you want. Just be mindful of the consequences.

@KoL

I'm not paying attention because Miyu's potential contributions are... Syphax might need a heater? Miyu isn't exactly an ace member of the team, even before you put Juno on it. Unless Ho-oh decides to do a quirky miniboss squad where each person faces off against an equal tier opponent, Miyu has no business being in any sort of fight that's on the rest of Team Angel's power level.

The War of the Three

@Mega Birb Miyu might actually be useful!

The War of the Three

@Lonewolf685 He lost his body. He's ok, but he's down a body. He's weird like that.

@KoL

Miyu

Upon arriving at Hohenheim's invitation place, Miyu had shown off the Party-Mode Diamyo's full capability, namely, that it had a cooler with some snacks and drinks carried on the outside. Anyone that wanted one could ask, and Miyu'd say sure, but she wasn't going to bother offering them to people who'd probably just look at her funny.

She seemed largely apathetic about the whole deal, drinking some sort of fruit cocktail. However, Hohenheim did eventually manage to capture her interest with the nature of her nearly absolute barriers and mechanics to prevent shenaniganery.

Miyu got out of her mech and walked over to the side of cliff before the abyss. And she poked the tip of her wing over. Presuming it wasn't instantly destroyed, zapped, or otherwise attacked, she'd sit down with her legs over the side, grab two rocks, unite them with her unity magic, and throw one at the castle, paying special attention to the bacteria on the rocks to see if there was any difference in what happened to living and non-living. She seemed to be paying more attention to her experiments than to Hohenheim, albeit, she did apparently be listening a little bit.

"About how much dilly dally time do we have? I've got a couple experiments I wanted to run to see if I could figure out how that "no return from death" inter-dimensional pit and the barriers work. But I don't want to miss out on the later stuff." Miyu asked, as she had the Daimyo set a first aid kit by her side and start sterilizing a knife. She also waited to see if anything would happen to the rock in flight and/or on her lap.

Loadout Changes

Miyu did make a few small loadout changes to her Daimyo. It has a wakazashi now, and a first aid kit in the cockpit. Both of these were mentioned as intent earlier, but I forgot to actually post doing them. If that's not ok, let me know, plz.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel KoL said we needed to be greenlit before going for the challenge. Or does that mean, "your character needs to have been accepted"?

The War of the Three

So, before writing a "ok, I walk across the bridge after getting teleported by my faction leader" post, we need to write a "I know you just said to send me on this mission and created a portal for me to go there, are you sure you want to let me go?" post.

Veitaru and Gruncle Jaege

Jaege examined the situation, "Hmm... It seems most of us did not come out of that scratch-less." He paused for a moment, noticing his own and Felicia's wounds, and Noi's... Not doing anythingness.

Veitaru meanwhile was not bothering at all about Noi. If he had charged ahead and gotten himself whatever passed for killed for him, not a big deal to her.

Jaege continued, "I don't suppose anyone is of the having of medical supplies? I am not particularly fond of the idea of these wounds getting infected. If we have many places to get to after this one, then losing two of us on this one would be less than ideal." He glanced at Felicia at the mention of "two of us". On the subject of medical supplies, Veitaru shrugged with hands raised her general uselessness in that regard.

Then he turned back to Noi, and cupped his hands to his mouth and yelled,"Are you alright up there?"
