Honestly, a Trauma Center x Toyko Ghoul (with or without Code Lyoko in it) sounds like a phenomenal concept.

Marrie Knight

Marrie was the type to hate being without money, and that meant that she couldn't imagine ever being so without it to become homeless. So as she waited for the recovery team, after giving Bardo a quick rundown on the situation, she thought through what she assumed she'd need for food and rent. Unfortunately, doing so made her realize even more just how desperate the survivors of the night were, but when she finished her calculations she was at least hopeful that she'd be helping them.

When those behind the mission arrived, she gave them the information they wanted and a request. She took from her pay only what she thought she'd need to survive until the next mission and asked that the rest be divided up and given to the survivors. Once she'd gotten confirmation, she waved goodbye to the team and any of the other remaining espers within sight as she went to her bike and headed home. As soon as she got to a private enough area, she transformed back to her normal state. When she did, however, something felt off. It wasn't wholly dissimilar to what she had felt when first transforming into esper mode after her Grimoire powered up. She resolved to figure it out later and went home to sleep.

The next day Marrie woke at the ungodly hour of six in the morning, having had nightmares for as long as she'd been asleep that night. A few hours of metaphorically beating her head against a wall with trying to code emotions later and she decided that she really needed to get out and go somewhere. She got ready with her esper gear and went out, ready to head to the Great Escape, but left behind her gun. Normally she wouldn't take a gun anywhere she wasn't prepared to use it, but an esper hangout wasn't the least likely place for violence to spring up. Despite that, she didn't think it was wise to bring a weapon that was so easy to misuse when she was still reeling from the night before.

As usual she took her bike and went to a secluded area to transform, then went directly to the Great Escape. With any luck, she would be able to distract herself from her dreams.


I'm hitting a wall on what to write, so please just assume Luna is following along quietly, since I don't think I'll be able to write something decent by monday.
Kari Primrose


With "Impmon's" arrival, Kari spun to face the creature but was quickly calmed by its demeanor. Anything that wanted to talk over fight was fine with her. Still, she wasn't going to be unprepared if it changed its mind. It was also kind of funny to her that her fellow human asked "what on earth," when they might not be on earth anymore, and the "imp" asked "what the heck" instead. Fitting.

Kari continued in silence as the group followed "Kuro" to the village. When she saw the small heads bouncing around, swarming the humans, she got a little uneasy. Surely these little things weren't dangerous, but they certainly looked somewhat unsettling. That's when Isaac asked the question she was just thinking. What's with the naming convention? When Yurie suggested that it might be a file type, it sounded plausible. But...

"If that's the case, I wonder what our file type is." She mused aloud. Then she turned to face Yurie directly. "So you're assuming these things haven't evolved to this point? That they're all manually created by someone?" Kari didn't think she believed that.
Marrie Knight


Shit! Marrie found herself entangled with what she hoped was a Freelancer before she could even attack the monster. Fallen on the ground, she looked up to watch as the mantis was impaled by a lamppost. Finally, some good fucking food a Freelancer she could trust to kill something. As she untangled herself and stood up, she had a realization. Had she even met any other Freelancers who didn't leave right away when in danger, other than Pac and that Bates guy? Was Pac even a Freelancer? She couldn't remember. She shook herself out of her thoughts to find that she had been standing still in confusion. Looking around showed that the semi had stopped and the fight was over.

The thoughts of what had happened today began to creep their way back into her mind, forcing her to shove them out once again. It wasn't quite over yet since the water hadn't been delivered. She headed over to the semi only to find that nobody was there. Hadn't another esper gotten control of it? She didn't know who or where they went but she silently thanked them nonetheless.

She gave the water a quick once-over and took a picture of it, sending it to the job poster, along with a message.

-Hey. So the water's been recovered, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The tires are shot, and it'd be smart to bring someone who can purify the water since the guy who had it last mentioned doing something to it.
-...
-Also probably someone who can take care of some people who died. This whole thing was a mess.

With that hopefully sufficient, she leaned against the trailer and closed her eyes. She'd be having nightmares about today, she knew.

@BrokenPromise
Kk, will alter it to that.
This was technically okay'd last season, but to make sure it's not too strong (unlikely) or too weak (likely) or just otherwise won't work, here's my upgrade attempt.

Luna Abbott



It was two hours after Luna had obtained her invitation, and she was still fuming about her loss in the tournament.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!! I can't believe I made such a basic mistake!

It's called a basic mistake because it's easy to make and lots of people would make it.

Shut up, me, what do you know anyway!?

Well, at least she wouldn't be making the same mistake in the future. Special Summoning in attack mode when the battle phase isn't over and her monsters were in the hundreds of attack points, what was she thinking!? Similar thoughts hounded her despite her best efforts to drown them out with music all the way until nighttime. It was because of these thoughts that she didn't pay any attention to the envelope she was given for participation, nor why she received one when others didn't, until she was ready to go to sleep on a park bench. Finally somewhat calmed down, she opened it to read what was inside.

Well, this was suspicious. Luckily, it was suspicious in the cool way, but whoever decided they had to say "tell no one" twice in a six step (if you count the words on the outside of the envelope) set of instructions might want to get checked for paranoia. Still though, she had nothing better to do other than putting distance between herself and her family, so she decided to show up. The worst that could happen was that she'd waste a day in Old Domino City, right? Well, that or kidnapping, but it was better not to think about that.

It took a while to figure out where the cemetery actually was, but she ended up getting there at about seven minute after midnight, having trouble following the directions she was given to get there in the dark.
Marrie Knight


Marrie watched in what seemed like slow motion as Oros turned to face her and fired a melody of her own. Regardless of what it was, it meant that Finn would end up getting hurt, despite her efforts. She had been half hoping that Oros would try to deflect it and she'd switch places with her sword, but she didn't expect the pink haired girl to anticipate a feint like that. Surely it would have made more sense to assume she was attacking her, right?

... Her head hurt, and she found herself standing where Finn had just been. Still, she turned quickly to look at where she had started, only to see as Finn lost his legs. She couldn't react. She couldn't think. She couldn't even move. And that paralysis continued as Oros walked over and asked for a reward for only taking off one person's legs.

Marrie's mouth was agape. If she weren't somewhat traumatized by the day, she might have thought that Oros' request was unwarranted. As it was, though, she could see the logic behind it. Holding back when you want to go all out is hard; she wouldn't have been able to hold back against the cultists who slaughtered the homeless people.

"... I don't know how to respond to you. Like, in general. As a concept." Marrie closed her eyes for an instant, before opening them and looking over the scene that was (now) in front of her. She couldn't see the truck, but she could hear it, so its tires must be missing. Oros was standing right in front of her, and behind her were the remaining cultists who seemed to be leaving. Leaving? Was she going to let them leave after that? Rage boiled up from her gut before she continued dragging her gaze across the area. There was the boy who had saved her. She had almost forgotten about seeing him losing his lower limbs from all the shock of Oros' comments. And on seeing him laying there all of her anger left her, the void left by it quickly filling with worry.

Welp, time to be a smartass, she figured as she cast a melody.

{Bronze Beam - Rain - Stabilize - Heal}

And as the beam fell from the sky towards Finn, she focused on Oros. What kind of thing would someone like her even want? Her mind went blank. After a quick reboot, she tallied the espers who she knew were there. There was herself, Sovereign, that one who was on the roof, and now the boy who had saved her and was (hopefully no longer) bleeding out. If Oros was bothered by the others, but not Marrie, that left three. She hurt one of them, pretty severely, so... That left two and a half out of three, right? "Well, you half killed the guy who saved me, but you haven't hurt anyone else, so..." A pause. "I'm not sure what kind of thing you'd want, so I guess it's like a giftcard instead of an actual present sort of situation."

Then it hit her. Why was she even here? "A fourth of the water, maybe? Otherwise I don't have a ton of things to give out, and I'll probably get in trouble for even that, bu-" The hamster in her mind fell off its wheel, and she was suddenly once again aware that the water wasn't secured yet.

Shit. Marrie glanced over her shoulder to see... holy shit where did that mantis thing come from!? Turning back to Oros, she gave a quick request. "Quick raincheck, we can figure something out in a bit?" Then she began to run towards the palemancerguardmantisguy, putting her Instrument in her left hand and pulling out the pistol she was glad to have brought with her with her right.

@RickyG85
Yep, personally just trying to get some stuff done unrelated to this before making a post.
Marrie Knight


She was lucky that she was used to flying around at this point in her esper carreer, or she might have lost her lunch. She even managed to fire off her Melody, in an even better position than she had planned! Silver linings, right? And speaking of silver linings...

"Oros!?" Marrie blurted out, once the shock had died down enough for her mind to process what had just happened. The rush from being grabbed out of the air before she could react was still running through her, causing her mind to run at a million Tails, er, miles an hour. At first, seeing Oros was mixed news. On the one hand, Marrie had no ill will towards the esper that everyone seemed to hate, but on the other, her being in the group of cultists was a bad sign. As she began listing off the other freelancers there, though...

God really does hate me, wow.

In all the commotion, she hadn't even noticed the exploding tires or the now crashed semi. As she looked to follow Oros' movement towards Finn, the truck entered her sight and she blanched. Did that mean the water was toast now? Well, if she assumed that, then the only remaining points of importance were defeating the cultists and keeping the other espers alive, not necessarily in that order. So seeing the debatably most dangerous esper in Pax rushing at the guy who saved her, and who she was pretty sure she had seen during the Diver fight, she subconsciously made a pretty simple decision. Chances were that she'd respond, but if Marrie was right about this, that'd work out just fine too, and so she cast a Melody aimed straight at Finn, right over Oros' shoulder.
