Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

Ishimura Hiromi

Hiromi paused. And smiled. Oh, was Ushio having a little trouble, there...? The girl may very well be her friend, but there was a portion of Hiromi that couldn't hold back at a scenario like this. Ushio had degenerated into a stuttering mess. There was no other option but to take advantage of this. In fact, Hiromi would be quite amiss if she simply did not take this opportunity, wouldn't she? Of course she would.

"Ah," the blonde girl began, turning and approaching the pink-haired girl, leaning somewhat closer to her as she did. She showed a look of, well, blatantly mock curiosity and concern. There would be no mistaking her look for sincerity, but she came awkwardly close before continuing. "What ever is the matter, Ushio-chan? What are you trying to say?"

Hiromi leaned back a bit, cocking her head to one side with narrowed eyes and a sly grin. "Do you need a moment to rest? Stumbling over yourself like that, oh dear..."

Adachi Ruriko

So her opponent was opening with a charge. And... some kind of glow? There were a few things that could be. Increasing cutting power, preparing a ranged attack... even with a weapon in such... questionable condition it was still a divine gear. Of course, Ruriko would win, but that didn't mean she wouldn't react to something like this. The diminutive black-haired girl readied herself, sliding her katana back into its sheath as she sprang back, darting out of range of the initial slash.

Then, the steel blurred, flashing blue as she tore the blade from its sheath and upwards. In an instant light flowed up the sword and the plating shifted, and with a crackling sound it released an arc of blue light!

~Starlight Flash~

The arc whistled through the air at her opponent. If she didn't hit, it would force her to react in a manner different from charging and preparing an attack.

No, um...

They are literally completely useless against anyone with a magitech weapon. They're so vastly outstripped that the best comparison I can make is using a butter knife against someone in a tank.

There ARE magitech ranged weapons that blow mundane guns out of the water in terms of effectiveness.

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

Mundane guns haven't been used in a VERY long time, by the way.

Magitech outperforms them in every category. Oh sure it still uses bullets and explosives but it's probably just generated magically and stuff. I don't even think anyone makes mundane weaponry anymore.

I'd really rather not have more of the thread taken up by this.

I do think the transition is jarring, but since this is going on too much and I'd rather not take up more of the thread with arguing about it I'll allow it.

I'd still prefer third person but it doesn't ruin the RP or anything otherwise.

@Kaithas: We've kind of dialed back on non-Japanese characters for reasons of setting(there's Academies in every country) and because the first non-Japanese character who was signed up actually made it fairly significant.

As for the whole first person thing, um...

I'd rather not argue, but I'll be honest and say one of my own personal reservations is... Frankly I've seen people do it before and try to make themselves like the "main character" of the RP.

This has given me reservations against its use. EVERYONE should equally be the "main character" of an RP unless the RP is specifically structured, and everyone agreed, on something otherwise.

That may not be the intent here but it is something that bothers me about it.

Assuuione (A Multiverse RP)- Open for Business!

Saber

Saber opened her mouth. Then shut it. Then opened it again... and then shut it. Oh, there were so many different pastries... many of which she had not previously seen before. They had not yet had a chance to visit any sort of shop that sold this array of pastries back in her home universe. She would very much have liked to, however, if this was any indication. The shopkeeper's question was proving a rather unmanageable one for the blonde girl. Exactly how should she narrow it down?

Before she could manage a response, she realized Shotaro had questioned her armor.

"Ah... I suppose it is not, currently," Saber replied. After all, there was no combat here and no-one would have been particularly shocked in such a world if she changed her clothing... there was a flash of light as prana dissipated off her body, allowing her previous outfit to reform. It was a blue skirt and white shirt, an outfit Rin had given her when she first required modern clothing.

Conveniently, her change of clothing allowed her to make her answer to the shopkeeper, as well.

"All of it."

Even if she couldn't buy it all, she sure was interested in it all.

Goldibanne, the Face of Innocence(?)

Oh, he'd been shot. How quaint.

Goldibanne had seen vastly worse before. And caused vastly worse not that long ago. The animate dead and skinless things she had killed were in a much more... deconstructed state then a simple hole in this guy's back. He'd been acting like an idiot and it clearly didn't bother him, so there wasn't exactly a reason to care, now, was there? Instead, the living doll cheerfully skipped and twirled along. They had a job to do, after all. They couldn't simply leave these people to fend for themselves even if this wasn't the task they had been assigned anyway.

"Fufufu~" she gave a little giggle, "Isn't this better then being all threatening and standoffish? Goldibanne certainly thinks so~"

Ishimura Hiromi

"Hm? Yes, you are quite late," Hiromi said, inclining her head to one side. Oh, she had sort of expected some lateness, really. Not as much as it turned out to be, but, well... she hadn't hired Ushio for her skills. The girl was clearly lonely and shy, and as the fine, perfect, and upstanding young lady Hiromi herself was, she naturally had to assist in some way. And what better way then to hire her as a maid? After all, it lead to close contact with other people quite frequently, did it not? Of course it did. After a few moments of a worringly severe look, Hiromi smiled.

"But it's not as if we were particularly pressed for time, is it?" she continued, placing a hand to her mouth briefly, "Ohohoho~ You worry too much, Ushio-chan."

Hiromi rose to her feet, and approached her maid and friend..

"Now, I would quite like to purchase an after-school meal," she said, "Naturally, I'd enjoy it if you accompanied me. A perfect, wealthy young lady cannot be without her loyal maid, after all, wouldn't you agree?"

Adachi Ruriko

"... Then you'll have to prepare when I'm dueling her," Ruriko asserted, glancing from the boy to the girl once more. One mock battle after another. She'd win the first, of course, and probably the second as well. She felt this was a firmly unquestionable course of events. However, it would be excellent training for everyone involved, wouldn't it? And naturally, everyone here was aiming high, for nothing less then success.

The first girl made the claim her blade was based off of Excalibur. It may very well have been, but it was hardly in good condition. In fact, its condition was rather shameful. Why wouldn't someone make sure their Divine Gear was in the best possible condition at all times? She didn't even know they could degrade like that. Well, regardless, maybe it was more impressive then it looked.

"And this is the Starlight Masamune," she replied, "Don't underestimate me, or you'll lose even more quickly."

... Wait, had the girl called her Yuriko?!

"... And... and my name's not Yuriko! It's Ruriko! Adachi Ruriko!" she cried, slipping her feet into a more ready stance with Starlight Masamune held at the ready.

Adachi Ruriko

The small dark-haired girl didn't have to wait particularly long, either. Moments after she had made her decision, the rather distinct form of a western student stepped through the door. It was hardly difficult to recognize her due to the rarity of such students, but Ruriko did not know her name. Only that she was a westerner, and she had been the first person to walk through the door. Therefore, there was only one response in the black-haired girl's mind. Her training was paramount after all.

"That doesn't matter," she began, staring intensely at the blonde girl, "Because now, you will be my opponent!"

To punctuate this, she drew her sword. Starlight Masamune gleamed as it hissed through the air, to point squarely at the other student. It was fitting to take this seriously. If she was rejected, well... she wouldn't be happy, not one bit. A mock battle would be training for the both of them, wouldn't it? Even if Ruriko knew she would win, and did not question that fact. Still, it'd be beneficial for the both of them.

A second student, this one male, entered shortly after the girl. Ruriko's eyes shifted to him for a moment.

"You'll be next!" she declared, "Mock battles are the ideal training for any student."

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

Yes, the entire student body is entered, provided they're able.
