@BCTheEntity
Apologies for accidentally taking up some of the stuff you wanted. I figured knifekind would be unlikely and less boring than "Swordkind" and I didn't expect anyone to already have an idea for a heart character.

Bombs away.

My Hider

Name : Summer North

Age : 16

Appearance : A very tired-looking young girl with black hair and blue eyes that seem to pierce through you, on the rare occasions they're fully open. She stands at 5 foot 4 inches and weighs approximately 105 pounds, being slightly underweight. While not bulky, she does have some visible muscle throughout her body. She tends to wear baggy clothes and is almost always seen in a sweatshirt. Her clothes are usually black and/or purple in color, including her favorite outfit which consists of a black sweatshirt with purple pockets and accents, a pair of baggy black running pants that have purple stripes on the side, and purple running shoes. Summer's hair falls to just past her shoulders in the back, and she tends to be hunched over slightly. Her sweatshirts all have some sort of design on them, often big cats or snakes. Lastly, it should be noted that she wears blue medical gloves at all times and carries several extra with her at all times in both her Array Sylladex and her pockets.

Personality : Summer spends most of her time indoors, staying up late to play video games and generally not doing things she probably should be. She's actually quite upbeat and friendly when she's fully awake, but this is a rarity, and due to her usually pessimistic attitude she has few friends. She outright refuses to participate in gym class due to her affliction of OCD, and her reluctance to do many other class activities mean she's been denied moving up to the school grade she should be in. This is not to say that she isn't capable, she simply cannot bring herself to touch things, even with gloves. It's also due to this that she wears a sweatshirt regardless of temperature. She has an unhealthy obsession with snakes and a hatred of insects, both exacerbated by her disorder. Summer enjoys reading and writing, though she tends to stick to romantic stories with both. She's not good at writing stories with already existing characters as she has trouble getting in their heads, but she's quite good at writing original stories and she has several journals full of random short stories alongside diary entries. She has a predisposition to knives and has a probably too large collection of them which she cleans and cares for ritualistically. While she also like other weapons, none can compare to the beauty and elegance of the simple knife in her mind. Ironically, considering her enjoyment of romantic writing, she despises songs about romance and equally dislikes romcom movies and shows, believing the songs to be too "paint-by-numbers" and the television to be "too perfect to be realistic."

Title : Seer of Heart

Planet : Land of Mirrors and Darkness (LOMAD)
LOMAD is a world blanketed in an eternal eclipse, blotting out all light except that of the stars and the strange glowing pieces of the Salamander consorts. This light is not natural, but rather a result of fungi that naturally attaches itself to the consorts as they move through the world. LOMAD is spotted with large mirrors that protrude from the ground as colossal obelisks or themselves make up the ground of the planet; while the obelisks are made of glass, the ground mirrors seem to be stone that was polished to a shine by some unknown force. The world is covered in spore of a fungus that, once enough spores are collected in one spot, begin to glow. As far as anyone knows, Cetus is the denizen of LOMAD.

Strife Deck : Knifekind. She wields a slightly larger than average dagger and ten throwing knives as her weapons.

A Flower in Bloom (Part 3)

When Wisemon finished, Shion was slightly taken aback, before she burst out laughing. "I didn't think of that! That's a creative way to use it, I'm actually kind of impressed now!" she managed to say in between her laughter. It was notable by her voice that the laughter was not mean-spirited, but rather good-natured in origin. "I like this guy, we should help him."

Meanwhile, Renamon turned to Kuroko. "Renamon."

Shion interrupted before anything further could be said, calling behind her as she walked into the room that Wisemon had pointed to. "That's such a mouthful. If you're Renamon, and this guy is Wisemon, that girl with the nun outfit mentioned three other 'mon' names... Do all of your species have that as part of their name? Would that just make you Rena-kun?"

"Firstly, I'd rather you not address me as a boy. Secondly, if your purpose is to shorten the name, woudn't 'Rena-kun' defeat the purpose?" Renamon asked as she followed her partner.

"Hmm. That's a good point. So... how about 'Re-chan,' then?"

Renamon stifled a smile. "I haven't been called that since I was a Relemon. Alright, I don't mind." Renamon looked around. "Wisemon is right, there are only six important looking books here. If there are supposed to be seven, then one is certainly missing. But if it's not in the library at all, then I doubt we'll be able to find it... Unless you happened to see it before you came here?" She turned to Shion.

Shion shrugged. "I haven't seen any other books this ornate since going to a Renaissance Fair back in America. Hey, Wisemon, can you tell us more about these books? I get that they're important and can 'lead to calamity' if in the wrong hands, but what's so special about them?"

"Wisemon already said that they can bypass our life-cycles, which I have to assume means inducing evolution, or perhaps data corruption of some form... That certainly is dangerous, but I too am curious about their importance. Surely they don't take the form of books purely for cosmetic reasons, do they?"

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They've got to at least have something written in them if they're gonna be books. Magical Mcguffins tend to have a form for a reason. Since they're books, we can assume they were created by something, which means they have a reason for being books, otherwise why not make them something less... Obvious, I guess. More plain looking, so they don't tempt potential thieves. Because I'd expect these things to be worth a lot on appearance alone." Shion walked from book to book. "What do these symbols mean, even? Any information we can get would help, I would think."

"I'd also wonder if there's some sort of forensic data we could use. Though it may be contaminated now that we've been here..."

"Ooh, we can be like those cop drama shows, we can dust for prints! Though if they only stole one book, there might not be any on the others... And considering we just learned that portals apparently exist, there's no guarantee that they didn't just teleport in through one, grab it, and leave through it again. But there's got to be some security system, right?" Shion reached a hand out towards a book with a black diamond on the front, but stopped before touching it.

"Evidently not, or I doubt we'd have been accused; there must be no information to gather on the culprit. I'd also recommend that you not reach for these books when Wisemon is so upset at one being stolen. He could interpret that as trying to steal another."

Shion retracted her hand and put it in her sweatshirt pocket. "Both good points. Sorry if that scared you, I just wanted to check for force-fields and such. The more we can learn about the thief the more likely they'll be to find, right? Being able to bypass some security system would imply that they're particularly strong or skilled, but without one they could be just anyone who was fast enough or had a quick exit."

"That they didn't steal more than one is concerning. It could mean that they feared Wisemon, or that they knew we would arrive and be a scapegoat. A Mega level, for example, would have no reason not to simply defeat Wisemon and take all seven."

Shion held her chin in her hand as she thought, but simply shrugged after a moment. "What I really want to know is what's in these books. Can we read them if we don't pick them up? This is like finding out the necronomicon is real, I have to know why it's forbidden."

"Perhaps the thief felt the same way and simply took it to read it? Maybe it'll be returned someday."

@Blizz
Let me know where to put the CS when you're ready for it. I think I've got it done unless you find anything wrong with it.

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

@1Charak2
Got it, thankies.

I've got my next post done, but I think I'll wait until someone else posts so I don't keep being the first post after the GM.

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

@1Charak2
Can we get a quick description of the books? I want to make sure I'm not assuming things incorrectly in my next post.

Yo I'd be down if this gets going.

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

Not really my place to say what another character does. So either way.

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

I mean if everyone just jumps Wisemon then Renamon would probably join in, but she'll be mad if they survive it.

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

As always, let me know if anything is egregious enough to need to be changed.

Shion may be an idiot.
