@vancexentan Ah, I thought we weren't supposed to say that stuff yet. It's the battleship Yamato conflated with Admiral Yamamoto, with a little bit of modern anime skewing perceptions of the legend thrown in.
Ok, here's a WIP, what do you think?

Wait, nevermind, saw we weren't supposed to post them yet.
@vancexentan Ah, my bad, I thought Gilgamesh types weren't going to be allowed, as per the rule 2, meaning her Tenka Fubu - Innovation would have actually brought her power level down. I'll see if I don't think of something else. Not really a fan of the Berserker class.
Is Oda Nobunaga available?


"Hmm... Perfect timing that it should be the very next day that the Umbral Games would occur. I suppose that puts my scheme in the ground." Caprice stayed put at the starting line as it were, shuffling her cards once more. "No matter. The girls will have their fun in the games, and then another door we shall take."

Seemingly not interested in the direct promises of power or 'treasured reward' as the president offered, Caprice found herself wandering the school, seeking the very Detention Halls that she had been threatened with. She brushed her hands against the school map as eyes and fingers traced the path she walked. "Perhaps I can find someone as stubborn as I am... Hopefully a fun conversationalist."

Or perhaps she'd simply run into Iona again. But if she was off officiating the ceremonies, maybe Caprice would have some time to poke around alone. Hopefully not entirely alone, if no one dared risk detention.
Da-Xia Chen
Tsushima Diver Services, Main Lobby



Da-Xia's main reaction to Reina's presence was a slightly furrowed brow as 'actually hit their target' was brought up. It did not seem she particularly enjoyed being made fun of, but she otherwise held her tongue and instead looked to the next one to come and join the group.

"That is, you say you will not bite if we do not inform you of our proceedings?" Da-Xia went from a mildly sad expression to thoroughly bewildered as the Holder took the stage. "Is this to be implying we should not inform you? Or we should?" Fortunately for Da-Xia, Hyun-Jin took the lead in explaining things.

TK Group, Lobby



"Ah! Are you to be the one our services are in service to?" Da-Xia smiled brightly, waving to the smoking woman. "I am eager to begin this quest, so please, let us start with the briefing and paperwork!" Da-Xia, though she did feel out of place on an island, certainly got a booster shot of cheerfulness when on the cusp of a heroic quest!
I can try to get a post up tomorrow.
Is the TK Group's office in a different city and the plane ride has already happened, or is that yet to come?


"Ah, so you go the false choice route, so that someone can pretend they're being rebellious and defying you while still doing exactly what you want them to. A solid enough strategy." Caprice stretched her arms, lacing her fingers together and giving them a crack above her head. "I think I've come to a decision. I'll offer to do what I want, and if it counts as a crime, then you can give it a score and say I was in the Umbral games."


"Hmm? Well, everyone in this room is a subset of everything, so yes." Caprice answered Akiko's question with a smile. "Though to be less coy, these cards simply show a pale reflection of my soul. And everyone you meet, even for the most fleeting of moments, touches your soul. Whether they will build you or destroy you, who can say." Caprice sent a card flicking low across the table slipping right into Akiko's fingers, which showed... Akiko. Blurry at first, but as Caprice stared further at Akiko, the picture became more precise and true to life. Though colored with the current level of disturbance she felt, as Caprice had not known Akiko for long enough to make more than a snap judgment about her. "Perhaps I will forget you in time and your image will fade from my existence, perhaps I will remember you."

"But, if you're frightened, simply remember the first rule of magic. It's just a dumb trick. All you hold before you is a picture on a card. And not even a real card made out of proper paper." Caprice snapped her finger and the card's vanished from Akiko's hand.

"Ultimately, I'm more interested in learning how you enforce your dominance than adding another skill to my hand, at least at this juncture. You may count me among the delinquents for now." Caprice finally answered the president, declining the tarot class.
