This is most pleasing indeed.

Someone needs to make a flow chart from all this shipping.

So that's what Ty's into. Kinky.

World Beyond the Lexicon

But can he score the sisters.

Wait, is this just becoming Ty's harem.

Sophiel about to kill everyone around her.

@AThousandCurses

At least someone called her cute.

Kiara’s smile faltered at Ty’s words, but she couldn’t exactly fault him for that. Alberta was a bit off-putting to the other students. She was starting to see this more and more during their time together as a class in the last two weeks. Even so-perhaps she was biased due to the tea conversation-she couldn’t help but find some sympathy for the other girl. “Oh, well, I wouldn’t say Alberta’s all that bad. Just like everyone, she has her quirks and if we’re going to be a class, we’ll have to learn to move around those quirks eventually.” A pause. “Or we learn to use our quirks to our class’ strength. She kind of reminds me of Eris in a way…”

Turning to Sophiel now, she pondered the question given at her before shrugging. Well, it was best to be honest given she was thinking about the mission on her way here. “At first, I thought this was just one of the professor’s tests for us, something to keep us on our toes. But now I’m not so sure. If it’s true, I have to wonder how two thieves managed to slip past Avalice’s defenses and what kind of relic they were keeping warranting stealing. It could also mean these thieves have an ability we’re not certain about if they were able to slip by.” That thought alone held its unnerving implications. Was there even a plan? If not, did Professor Nyx expect her to come up with one with the other students?

Before she could fester in those dark thoughts, some brightness delighted the trio with a stark presence. Kiara nodded and waved at Mandi as they approached. She still wasn’t sure if their peer was a guy or girl, despite having two weeks to get to know her peers. Oh well, it probably didn’t matter. What did though, was Mandi’s challenge to Ty that was no doubt meant to draw a reaction. Kiara blinked, not expecting that; but not offended either. In fact, she looked at the boy with a sly smirk. “Well Ty. I’m curious now, and it’s not nice to keep a girl waiting.”

Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on her side because soon enough Ty gave his answer. Now Kiara’s face dropped, and it took a moment to manage a defeated but light sigh. “Ah, well, honesty is the most appreciated and I can’t fault you for that, right?” The class rep raised her hands in mock defeat before turning them to wave at Caelum as he arrived and stole Ty’s attention for now. More and more students flocked, filtering in and making a group amongst themselves. Even the ones at the edge of the circle were hard pressed to be included when their number was simply increasing. Kiara looked back at Ty and said, “Well, just be sure my sister doesn’t hear your-”

What started as a tease turned into a drawn back sigh and this one was genuine. Because now she heard the familiar, criticizing voice of her sister in the air. Eris, despite their talk weeks prior, seemed determined to still make life just that bit more difficult. The class rep nodded curtly at her sister when she arrived, making a note to keep an eye on her now that they were on a real mission. It wasn’t long before the professor joined them as well, tailing Eris.

With Professor Nyx present, the class was collectively gathered towards the trains and swiftly sent to boarding them. As each one was directed to some seats, Kiara found herself brought aside by the professor himself, along with Ty. Curiously, she waited for what this could be about, before looking around to notice that yes, one of her roommates was still missing, among others. Before she could even answer though, there was Sekhandur by their side, appearing like a ghost.

“Um, he’s right there? Oh, and there’s Alberta and Kress. Can we take our seats now professor?”

Tower of Fable

“Ow, fuck, ow!” Taking Lorelai and Akiko’s offer proved to be the worst mistake in CC’s career, and she had a bunch of dumb ones; between listening to some stupid program telling her what to do and tangling with the hacker killer herself. Whatever. One moment they were on the ground, and the next, they were on an airship in the sky, the beast beneath them dispersing and leaving her to land on her ass. If the others hadn’t caught on she wasn’t Kanbaru earlier, they certainly would now as the hacker tore off her flimsy excuse of a disguise and began swearing up and down the ship’s top like a drunken sailor. Her rage settled eventually, but not by much.

“Gee fucking willy, I’m not Kanbaru, what a surprise. Also, I didn’t think you shit stains would actually try to fight this thing,” Corpse Collector mused as the demon above and all around them roared into the air. The whole world seemed on fire at this point, between everyone landing on this one ship and some new blonde making the demon lose all control and go berserk. She looked around, sensing her card holder was busy herself with fighting some clown so here she was, stuck to rein chaos as far as she saw fit. Wasn’t that part of Kanbaru’s deal anyway?

CC rolled her eyes when Akiko abandoned them for Rose, shrugging as she cast a glance at Lorelai. “Meh. It’s not like we stay dead as Serei. And you look like a fun meathead to gun up,” she said with glee and a dark smirk. Quick drawing her gun, she pointed it at the knight, only to shoot a large chunk of debris behind her, sending small splinters flying by the power of her bullets. “But we’re still in shit creek so I’ll have my fun with you later. In the meantime, make yourself useful and blow up some rocks with me,” CC sneered, already standing back to back with Lorelai and shooting off many of the hazards that flew at the ship.

And there were a lot of them. Between the demon trying to literally clap them out of the sky and Rose’s frantic daredevil driving, the airship was swinging about and around from the damaged but furious demonic structure. They all avoided annihilation for now, but how long that lasted depended on how angry the demon still was. CC clung to Lorelai’s waist without asking to keep from being flung off from Rose’s ship maneuvers. “Can’t we just fucking shoot the summoner and go home!?”

Back on the ground with a still steamed Kanbaru, there was a subtle brush on her shoulder, one that soon manifested into full on touching. It was probably a trick of the mind because it almost felt like two hands were massaging her shoulders, easing off tension. And yet, there was nobody there, no one except the still sprawled Caprice and approaching Ami. However, whatever it was, must have indeed been real enough, because before Ami could get too close to Kanbaru, a slash marked itself on the ground in front of her, borne from an unknown source. There was a distinct, distorted growling in the air, one only Kanbaru heard in her head.

Monster Federation Force (Monster Girl RP)

Evidently, as it turned out, Schrödinger did not appreciate being bundled and hobbled into an overdosed electrified cage. The humans were lucky she was mostly incapacitated when they captured her, and lucky still to put her with her sister. Throughout her captivity, she spent her time glaring at the humans that looked and pointed, making notes in their little clipboards and talking amongst themselves. Her claws idly traced against her cage’s floor from time to time in efforts to keep herself from being bored; and if she was being honest, it was also to try and calm Terrorkeat’s nerves down. Despite being the eldest, she wasn’t taking this in stride.

That was why she managed the darkest death glare she could possibly throw when Utena approached their twin cages. A monstrous and suspicious huff was all she gave to the human girl. She didn’t even know her, let alone knew the answers to her stupid questions. Thus, she continued to stare her down, unresponsive and uncaring even as she inquired; though Terrorkeat seemed to have some familiarity with her, a notion that piqued Schrödinger’s interest. But what was most interesting was Utena’s final verdict, telling them both to get ready. She blinked in confusion. Get ready for what? She was to find out soon, because unbeknownst to either GMG, Utena was being judged.

General Kusanagi tuned out McNair as she watched the girl beneath them. What McNair said was valid and fair; perhaps Utena really was just curious and taking research matters into her own hand. However. “I’m a woman of rationale and logic above all else Commander. I can tell the difference between an astute researcher and a sympathetic,” she all but hissed. Indeed, even as Utena looked up at them knowingly, her features furrowed. She gave the young girl a stare that could pierce Dragon Queen’s scales, daring her, just daring her to reveal herself a turncoat.

There would be no going back now. Utena seemed to understand this perfectly because her next set of actions soon had the entire lower floor panicking, the controls smashed as power was disengaged to the GMG cages. “Idiots. Every single one of them.” Kusanagi pressed into the intercom at her coat’s collar. Soon her voice boomed over the entire MFF base. “Attention everyone, this is your General speaking. Aerial Diver Utena Soriyu has turned rogue and is attempting to free the GMGs. Bring her in by any force necessary. I will not repeat myself.”

And so it was said, the MFF scrambling onto one of their own now. It wasn’t long before troops appeared in the lower floors, already raising their guns on Utena, most set to stun. “Somebody reroute emergency power to the cages,” Kusanagi barked. A moment later and it was done as well; although electricity no longer crackled in Terrorkeat and Schrödinger’s cages, more and more metal rose up to reinforce it with another layer of metallic mesh.
