Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

@Noodles: Uh... okay I can definitely say that the Iron Roses wouldn't want her for that... also that it doesn't make much sense. ^^;

Just say she helped save some people or something if you want her to be invited?

日本へ旅行したら、異世界に召喚したけど、私たちは日本人 じゃないよ！(Invite Only)

• Name: Alex Nakamura
• Age: 19
• Appearance: Blonde hair, green eyes, pale... and... definitely not a nineteen-year-old human male. She's pretty tiny, at around 4'2.
• Personality: Alex is a serious person, which makes the... extremely unserious situation she finds herself in a bit problematic. Indeed, Alex was already rather moody and prone to pointing out things he saw as stupid, and now that he is small and female and not actually a human anymore it seems to have gone up to eleven. Alex is outspoken about stupidity, whenever she sees it she won't keep her mouth shut, even if it comes across as rather insulting and may indeed be just because she's annoyed. It's rather easy to annoy the pint-sized elf girl, as well. She is a logical person, and when things do not go in logical ways she is prone to become exasperated, losing logic as she becomes more upset. However, in spite of this surly personality, Alex does indeed care about her friends and people in trouble, and won't hesitate to help out. Even if she covers it up with complaints.
• Abilities: Alex's new body is physically weak and frail, but agile. She possesses excellent vision, spectacular reflexes, and the ability to worm her tiny frame into small spaces and sneak about. Alex possesses a great deal of outdoors knowledge, having been on numerous camping trips prior, but no longer possesses the strength and endurance for some of the more strenuous tasks. Finally, given she has the appearance of an elf child, cuteness charm is a very useful ability. She may find it embarrassing, but she won't hesitate to use it when the need arises.
• Cheat: Blessing of the Elf Queen - Alex gains a deep, instinctual understanding of many of the new world's native plants and animals, though she is not aware of this until she comes across them. In addition, she has an unerring ability to find her way out of any forest, provided there is no magical interference in place. She is also capable of calling animals to aid her, starting with only a small number of relatively less threatening creatures. As part of the blessing, Alex was permanently transformed into a form more suited to receive this blessing. Finally, she possesses Fragment: Failnaught, a hazy conceptual weapon that resembles a bow. No strength is required to draw it, though magical ability is required to even perceive its existence. As it stands, it is merely a fine bow in spite of its strange and ethereal nature.
• History: Alex Nakamura was born to an American Mother and a Japanese father. Spending some time in Japan when he was younger, Alex also got to experience a great deal of outdoors activities, such as camping and hiking. Beyond that his life was fairly average, and he made some good friends. Together, they've headed on a vacation to Japan, the country he hasn't visited in quite a few years now. Only, well... things are about to take a very strange turn. Especially for Alex.
• Other: N/A

日本へ旅行したら、異世界に召喚したけど、私たちは日本人 じゃないよ！(Invite Only)

I'm here now and stuff I'll have my dumb idea posted soon.

"Mental defenses, at least, would affect a ghost capable of coherent thought," replied Toshiko, approached Ryuuko as her apprentice made a beeline for something on the wall. Ghosts were beings with human thought patterns, and as a result spells designed to effect those thought patterns would still effect them. Even if they didn't set off the more physical defenses, the ones targeting the mind would still be able to detect them. When Ryuuko discovered that scrap of paper, however...

"You're certainly right, Ryuuko-kun," she commented, eyes travelling over the piece of paper. There was no denying what it appeared to be, it was definitely a piece of ofuda. That was only something that an onmyouji would use.

Yuuno stared for a few moments.

"Ehhh? There's... we never use ofuda!" the smallish girl exclaimed, "That's not how a proper magi does magic!"

As Toshiko glanced down the wall, she noticed spots on the wall that seemed slightly... scuffed? As if something had been attached to them...

"... Oi, Yuuno-chan," Toshiko said, turning towards the girl, "Is there any way that these spells could be disrupted without direct magical interference?"

Yuuno paused for a moment, looking thoughtful. "... I guess if the pattern was interrupted, but that's tied to the walls, and the walls are still there..."

@Noodles:Just a bit more detail on how she actually made it into the Roses? ^^;

Remember it's a legendary knight order.

Yuuno pointed, quickly, to the right hand side of the hallway when asked about the exterior.

"It's not impossible that they could be using some strange method to bypass the security," Toshiko responded. There was a wide variety of spells for an enormous amount of magical affinities, all developed by magi all over the world for so many different purposes. Certainly, there could be some methods that would prove to be useful at bypassing these spells. But so perfectly, and all of them... certainly, something was amiss. "As for a ghost, it's possible, but a ghost would still be effected by the defenses.

Toshiko followed Ryuuko, investigating the hallway. As Ryuuko looked over the walls, she might notice what looked like a scrap of paper attached to one...

Okay, have to be honest, at the moment this means she was a successful mercenary at fifteen years old and got into the roses despite being by all accounts not very good at it? ^^;

Remember she needs to have achieved knighthood.

"... Hmm."

Yuuno looked thoughtful for a few moments. Toshiko suspected she didn't know, but Ryuuko raised an interesting possibility. However, it relied on the ward having been triggered in the first place.

"From what we've heard, Ryuuko-kun, it doesn't seem like any defenses were triggered, including those wards," Toshiko interjected. "However, if they somehow refreshed the activated ward... it's not like it's not impossible. But still, it's a possibility to keep in mind."

Yuuno shrugged, and lead them further. And soon enough...

"Here it is!" declared the girl. Ahead stretched a long hallway, seemingly empty and without windows. Hands in her pockets, Toshiko strode forward. Indeed, even with the spells inactive as they were, Toshiko could discern some of the more obvious defenses. It was easy to assume most of them were rather more thoroughly hidden.

"... Incidentally," Toshiko began, turning to face Yuuno, "What's the outside of this hallway like?"

"Oh? One of the walls is open to the outside, but it's reinforced and there's no windows. You'd need a lot of power to get through it, and it's not damaged at all!"

"Hmm..."

The redheaded mage looked around. Perhaps there was... something more complicated at work here... checking the walls seemed like a good start.

"Ah? Well... it depends!" replied Yuuno brightly, "I got to put spells that are pretty far in, for someone who's pretty nasty and might have hurt some of our maids getting there. It'd be dumb to put the spells that kill people out further, right?"

Toshiko shrugged. It depended largely on what your goals were when it came to how lethal you made a trap.

"My mother placed one of the earliest ones. It just makes you think you're in the wrong place and need to go to another place in the mansion," Yuuno continued as she lead the detective and her employee further down the hall. As they went, it was hard not to notice the number of maids keeping an eye on them rather closely, and many of them keeping an eye on the daughter of the Daidouji family as well. "The further they get, the more dangerous the spells are. I placed some of the last ones, because by that point they're probably going to have killed someone getting there. I don't know all those less flashy spells yet."

The girl waved her hand rather dismissively.

"You know, those 'less flashy spells' are pretty useful," Toshiko responded, her voice rather level. It was kind of obvious, by the girl's attitude, that she was infatuated with the more active and deadly side of magic. But wards and other less dangerous spells were quite useful. Fu Sonzai no Genso itself was surrounded by a field that made anyone without a usable supply of mana incapable of seeing or interacting with it. That was quite the opposite of flashy. "Setting up traps that don't kill can be pretty useful too."

The girl shrugged.

"It's not like I don't know that," replied Yuuno, "But if they've hurt some of our maids, they're unforgivable, aren't they?"

The black-haired young girl paused for a moment. "Only... they didn't hurt anybody or trigger any of the defenses..."

"Oh, Miura-san!" Daidouji Yuuno nodded confidently that the introduction. Toshiko could surmise the girl had heard of the Miura family before, given they were another local mage family. Mage families were often aware of those with relatively high standings, and the Miura's rather unique situation perhaps posed for more awareness then was otherwise usual. "Right, right! You want to check out the scene of the theft, right?"

The girl was rather chipper, for someone whose family had so recently suffered a serious threat. Perhaps she was just optimistic in the face of hardship? Or did she not really realize the gravity of the situation? Regardless of the explanation, Toshiko couldn't help but notice that the girl was rather cute.

"It's pretty annoying, they didn't even set off the spells I set up!" complained Yuuno, pouting as she turned on her heel to lead them out of the room and towards the scene of the crime.

"What were the spells you set up?" asked Toshiko as she followed along.

"Ah? Oh, just a couple," Yuuno replied brightly, "My family's affinity is Destruction, so it was a set of runes that would atomize the bodypart closest to them and one that made their heart explode!"

Toshiko nodded. Those spells were relatively complex, but for a competent student not impossible to handle for a stationary spell tied to a rune. Still, it was relatively impressive given the Daidouji girl's age. "You're quite accomplished for your age."

"Thanks!"
