Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

@LukasVolkov: Hmm, this one is fairly interesting. Though I think her Concept should be "Dragon" instead of Fafnir, since Fafnir is her Archetype.

@Ammokkx: If you need any help, I'm happy to!

@LuckyBlackCat: Yes, feel free to mention NPC girls.

@ACHTUNG: I'm still seeing no real connection between that Concept and anything else.

@Ammokkx: We've got some time before the battle royale actually kicks off, and it's mostly going to happen at night, so character interaction is important.

@Iceborne: If it's part of their powerset to summon something like that.

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

There were flashes of light in the night sky. New stars igniting in the air. With each flash of light, the two figures could be see. Girls, one surrounded by floating mirrors, and another wielding some kind of enormous gauntlet. Again and again, lights flared. Mirrors slammed against a massive silver fist, and they girls fought. Beams of light lit up the night sky. Explosions ripped through the air as they struck at one another again and again.

This time, there was a massive explosion that rocked the night, blasting the gauntlet-wielding girl back through the darkness and sending her tumbling and skidding across a nearby rooftop. She rolled once, and with an ugly crack struck the wall behind her. For a few moments, she laid perfectly still, and it looked as though she might not be able to get back up. But then, with a shuddering breath, she struggled to her feet.

The mirror girl floated towards the rooftop.

"... You really should give it a rest," she said, simply, inclining her head to one side. "There's no way that you'll defeat me, not like this. You won't win the Hex Night."

The gauntlet-wielding girl growled. With a clank, her the silver metal of her gauntlet seemed to expand, letting out a whine as steam poured from its inner recesses.

"Like hell I'd give the prize to someone like you," she snarled, rising and turning to face her opponent. She drew back her arm, sections of the gauntlet spinning to life with a whir. "I'll go all out on you, if that's what it takes!"

"... Then I'll cease to hold back, as well," the floating girl replied, with a smile.

A silvery light erupted from the other girl's gauntlet, circular segments of the enormous fist spinning rapidly and releasing steam and smoke.

Three mirrors aligned in front of the floating girl.

"Airgetlam... OVERDRIIIIIVE!"

"Threefold Annihilation Star!"

"Mmmnn...?"

Her alarm had gone off.

The brunette rubbed her eyes, stirring as she blinked blearily. Had she been dreaming...? She yawned. It was something strange, filled with some sort of fanciful battle, like you might see in some sort of anime. She didn't know how to feel about that. She hadn't watched anything weird recently. Why would she have a weird dream like that?

She swung her small, slender legs over the side of the bed as she rose. It was such a vivid dream too... Like she was actually there. But things like that weren't real, were they?

In the mirror, as she rose, was the shape of a small girl, one who certainly looked quite a bit younger then sixteen years old, clad in orange pajamas that fit her small frame rather loosely. Her shoulder-length brown hair was to her shoulders, messy from bedhead, her brown eyes half-closed from early morning bleariness.

Dismissing the strange dream, she went about her normal business. Getting her school uniform ready, brushing her teeth, taking a shower, brushing tying up her hair. Now much more awake, she nodded firmly to herself, her characteristic pigtails bobbing. Soon enough, she was dressed in her school uniform, and made her way downstairs.

"Good morning, Hikari-chan," said her mother, a pretty woman in her thirties with the brown hair of her daughter.

"Good morning," replied Hikari, smiling at her mother as she set about having breakfast. Father had already left, his walking stick gone. He had to get to work early in the morning, after all.

With plenty of time to eat breakfast, the girl had time for her mind to return to the events of her dream. It was almost like it had its own narrative, and it had been so real... aaah, what kind of ridiculous nonsense was she thinking? There was no way she could have even been dreaming of something real. Premonitions of the future or visions of the past were something out of mythology. And certainly, even if they were true, they wouldn't feature anything so strange as two magical girls doing battle.

Eventually, she finished her breakfast, and set out on her way to school.

Hikari met her friends on the way there, chastising one of them over a failure to be up to date with her studies and growing irate when one of them joked about her height.

Everything was as usual.

Hikari conducted her duties as class rep and remained focused on her teachers.

Everything was as usual.

She ate lunch with her friends, deciding not to bring up her strange dream.

Everything was as usual.

She closed the school day by conducting her standard duties as class rep.

Everything was as usual.

And yet, as she began to depart from her school...

Hikari didn't understand why, but she felt almost like she was being watched.

Soon, her life would would be anything but the usual.

"... She'll be perfect!"

The small figure, the size of a young girl, smiled to herself as she stood atop the roof.

The Hex Night would soon begin, it was true, but after discovering a candidate to be a magical girl, how could she possibly hold back? She knew many of the other girls were already preparing, some would be arriving in Japan for this Hex Night today. She rather sadly noted that there had already been at least one fight, even though the Hex Night had yet to begin properly... but there was no way she could ignore that this little brunette girl(perhaps she was so smart she was moved up to high school!) was an excellent candidate.

She smiled to herself. She might be throwing her into the Hex Night, but...

The Hex Night was one of the most important rituals a magical girl could be involved in, wasn't it? It was a chance this girl deserved to have.

And it was going to begin tonight.

Taking to the air, the strange girl decided to observe her chosen candidate.

Indeed, all across the city, there were girls preparing for battle that would soon come.

The Hex Night of Magical Girls.

@ACHTUNG: You don't need to be completely literal. "Artillery" could give you like magical laser cannons and bombardment stuff.

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

@ACHTUNG: I don't think you're thinking of "concept" in the right way. They're meant to be sort of iconic, in a way? With my character, the idea of a "Festival" instantly brings something specific to mind. "Concept of a Pitched Battle" is both too generic and also overly-involved.

With the Archetype you picked, wouldn't "Artillery" work better? You'd probably have to rewrite her powers, but I think that would ultimately lead to a more cohesive powerset. ^^;

@Raineh Daze: Accepted.

Sorry for the delay on getting started, it won't be too much longer. ^^;

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

@ACHTUNG: Your concept is still kind of iffy. Make it just "Warfare" or something? As a magical girl she should have more actual attacks as well.

"It's quite wonderful! I've heard one of the Imperial family is soon going abroad, as well, but that sort of thing is a rumor after all!" replied the girl brightly, with a cheery giggle. She seemed quite happy to have met someone who shared her origins, at least in terms of their country. Soon, she had also supplied the herbs that had been requested... or rather, very similar plants. It seemed these were Akitsushiman counterparts, relatives to the plants. It was notable that some of the items she retrieved did not appear to be on her shelves, nor did there appear to be much storage space in the back. And every time she disappeared into the back, there would bee that strange bell-ringing sound...

This, coupled with the fact that she had mentioned it had to be what she could carry, may have made it rather curious indeed, just how she was getting these items.

But for now, there wasn't much time to dwell on such matters. They had to get going, after all, in order to make it to the ruins at before nightfall. It was just as Leyna said.

"Hmph, as long as you don't try to order me around like your subordinate!" declared Sophie, before turning to follow the elf. She did note, with some amusement, that Leyna seemed somewhat frightened just looking at the drider...

The trip to the ruins itself was rather unventful. It wasn't a very long one, after all, and there were few creatures who would try their luck against a group of adventurers that were out and about during the day.

By the time they reached the ruins, the sun had already begun to set, casting the sky in brilliant oranges and long shadows across the earth.

Val Ethyn was somewhat near to the dwarven mountain, but it was not of dwarven make. They ruins themselves were seemingly elven in origin, but it was difficult to determine that due to their age and any elves who might have been around when this place was in working order were unlikely to materialize. Some were simply sets of pillars jutting from the ground, others were more elaborate underground complexes.

To be honest, Sophie didn't know the exact ins and outs or the purposes of the buildings that had been discovered, aside from the fact that adventurers had previously cleared one of them of undead and other such unsavory creatures.

If she had to guess, the crumbling stairway and door seemingly cut into the rock of a nearby ledge was likely the newest ruins, on the far side of the digsite.

The adventurers weren't alone.

There were numerous tents set up, with a large number of individuals-mostly humans and dwarves-enjoying dinner on a set of long tables between them. There were a few wood elves, as well, likely there because of the potentially elven nature of the ruins.

A short-haired young woman, wearing the blue and silver garb signifying her attachment to the Mage Academy of Venne, was first to greet them.

"Ah, you must be from the guild!" she declared, smiling and bowing. As she straightened, she continued.

"My name is Kiri Valveth, and I'm a supervisor from the Venne Mage Academy!" she introduced herself. Pausing for a moment, and blushing, she averted her eyes.

"... W-well, technically I'm still a student... b-but anyway! I'm happy to see someone came so quickly!"

Sophie cocked her head to one side. A student, in charge of overseeing the archeological dig? That didn't sound right. There had been a few jobs she'd accepted that involved the Academy, and their supervisors were usually more senior members the faculty. Like that blasted dark elf...

It seemed strange that they would send a student to oversee something like this.

"Do you have any questions?" continued Kiri, "Or would you like for me to show you to the ruins?"

@Ammokkx: Yeah, I know myths are fictional as well, obviously, it's just that people tend to put a divide between "fiction" and "mythology" whenever it gets brought up in this kind of context. ^^;

In any case... expect an IC coming soon!
