@Emeth

Could pair with @KoL's Mercurial.

Kurai Majokko

Yes, she's in her regular form.

Kurai Majokko

The correct approach to teams is waifu over meta.

Kurai Majokko

Eyo, so do the light peeps wait for a post from Cami to start things off, or are we free to go do whatever?

@ERode

You're free to go whenever because Cami is lazy so there's some interaction before their newbie makes an entrance.

Kurai Majokko

So it begins.

The sun sank over Hibusa Town. The vibrant rays of a warm afternoon gave way to the long shadows of evening. The quiet, sleepy sounds of a day unwinding overtook the usually idyllic, almost backwoods buzz that hung over the town. From the upper reaches of the mountains where shrines and temples lay, to the close-knit roads and homes that led to the bigger city next to the ocean, all of Hibusa Town was blanketed in darkness. The wind picked up.

It was autumn or some other late-year season; some time where the world was colder and the colors of youth and summer and sun bled away into more moderate vibes. The streets were empty, most homes closed up for the approached evening. Not many walked the town’s roads in such an hour but one did, a girl. She casually scaled up a great slope and weaved through backways and passages, in between buildings until house and city blurred and mixed.

And so the girl strolled with confidence in her step and her coat pulled up just a bit higher, a little tighter, to combat the night’s chill. In each pace did she count a shadow and with each corner rounded she felt some tug on her chest. Before she knew it, she was in a maze of houses and city buildings, the deep heart of Hibusa Town. Only then did the shadows erupt from their surface, gangled and strange forms taking shape in great masses. The Miseria.

A great number of them spawned this night and perhaps with good reason. As the year drew to a close, so too were deadlines coming. Bills that needed to be paid. Waning donations to the shrines. The loss of loved ones and other such worries; such were the fuel and cause of the Miseria, creatures who festered in them. It only made sense such a dark night would see a number of them. And darker still as something else lay in the shadows.

The Miseria crawled and festered like roaches, clambering in dark patches. But the girl paid them no need, simply leaping up to a stray lamppost and settling herself atop like a seated languish cat with a strength betraying her frail form. “What are you all waiting for? Go on and feast,” said Rei Ishiko.

Darkness descended on darkness, the glint of weapons and the hunger of souls radiating in Hibusa Town’s night life. Magic lay heavy in the air as the Detention Club revealed themselves. These were their hunting grounds and would remain so forevermore. Soon the Miseria found their dormancy disturbed by their sworn enemies, lashing out and attacking to avoid their fates. Rei only watched, the Detention Club leader happy to simply enjoy the sights. Something else was in the air and she knew her club knew it too. Something brighter in the night, something to spurn a sneer on Rei’s features.

“We have new blood tonight. Why don’t you all give them a local welcome,” Rei said. That was the cue for the newest among their rank to reveal themselves at last, the Neon Tempest of the Ultraviolet Rainbow. But she also referred to those foolish enough to intrude their hunt. And those who laid way into the hunt often became prey themselves.

It would be a long night.

On that note, unfortunately all the RP spots are taken, @Kero, as the final dark slot will be someone whose CS is nearly complete, worked on in private. If a position opens again you’re free to apply once more but I’ll be closing character openings from here on out.

I’ll also be starting the RP relatively soon now, everyone.

Kurai Majokko

@TheWendil Am I right in thinking the Detention Club is pretty much a dark version of the Hero Club in Yuki Yuna Is A Hero? While watching that anime, I thought "Aha that's where the inspiration came from".

@LuckyBlackCat

It's been a while since I watched Yuki Yuna so it might have been an inspiration when I first ran this RP. Something for Past Wendil to ponder.

Kurai Majokko

You answered all my questions and I should be able to move her over after making some edits, but I'm wondering if going the vitality/stamina route might be better. Would that be any more effective on Miseria? Less effective on magical girls? This should be my last round of questions.

@BrokenPromise

This should be effective on both Miseria and Magical Girls, especially for the pesky light ones who rely on being bubbly and energetic. The Miseria being negative emotion means draining stamina would stun them and, if she's really potent, render them unable to move much at all. It might also cause them to violently backlash since she's making them lethargic, fueling a negative emotion with another. A sort of risk and reward, but they would be stunned.

@ERode

I like her. She's accepted and she'll be our last Light Girl. You can put her in the Character Tab.

Kurai Majokko

At max I'll accept 1 more Dark Girl (not including Broken and another whos's shown interest) and 1 more Light Girl if someone wants to play that. This makes a total of 10 Dark Girls (5 teams) and 3 Light Girls in the RP. I'll be starting us sometime this week.
