Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

@LuckyBlackCat: Hmm... they'd probably be able to pick on a weird, sterile feeling from them? The idea of something not being quite right.

Also, to everyone, would like to announce that @Raineh Daze is going to be helping me GM, starting with taking up some NPCs so I don't overwhelm myself. ^^;
@TheMushroomLord: Figured I would quickly ping you just as a reminder. ^^;
@Foolish Errant: That's fine with me, I was worried that you'd disappeared. ^^;
I'll be posting here at some point over the next few days.
She hadn't really gotten enough thinking done about the fight itself. That much was true. But Kagami didn't look like a close-range fighter, and they'd been far away from her... Hikari had thought that if she used the firework boost to close the distance as fast as possible, she could knock Kagami out of the sky. But she'd been quite mistaken about how quickly that the enemy magical girl could attack, and she was now paying for it. Her entire body ached, the impact of that magical energy beam had just completely overwhelmed her. Her clothing was torn and smouldering in places, mostly around her stomach as that was where the attack had hit, though the skin underneath didn't seem to be damaged at all.

"... It's not like I was just being an idiot or something, she didn't seem like she could fight at close range so I thought if I got close before she could shoot..." Hikari trailed off, realizing she may have gotten caught up in her anger before fully considering her actions. She was a new magical girl while Kagami seemed to be a veteran, on top of everything else. She wasn't even entirely sure what her concept was. But none of those facts stopped her from giving a reproachful glare towards Tokiko.

Even if she couldn't ignore how hard her heart was hammering in her chest, Hikari wasn't going to stop being annoyed about being talked to like she was stupid.

But that wasn't all.

So this was the Hex Night. So people like that could become magical girls.

"... If someone like that can take part in the Hex Night..." she began, glancing in the direction that Kagami had left in, "Then there's no way I'm not going to, too! Even if it's just to stop someone like that from winning!"

It was perhaps notable that the head of Hikari's hammer was cracked.

A normal magical girl attack could almost never harm an Archetype, aside from cases where that Archetype was a living being, after all. For that matter, the fact that her clothing had been damaged enough to be burned away in places, too, was unusual... a single attack, doing that? Even if it was from a particularly powerful magical girl...

When it was bowed to, and spoken to, the masked figure silently tilted their head without speaking. For a few moments, that was all that happened. There wasn't a single movement for some time, until the figure suddenly turned in a rather stiff fashion and immediately began to walk into the forest. In spite of the less then urgent-looking(and strangely stiff) movements, it was managing to move at a pace comparable to a sprint.

Given that the figure's response to being spotted was to leave immediately, it didn't seem likely they were friendly.

They'd managed to find shelter after that.

It wasn't the safest place, but the old, abandoned building was at least dry and had a ceiling. Assassin had to cut through some tape, and ensure that no-one else was hanging around and there wasn't any serious danger in the area they had selected, but her Master had to rest for the night.

When morning came, Assassin was still awake, standing guard over her Master. Servants didn't have to sleep, after all. They could, but... well, her Master had to stay safe, especially somewhere like this!

The beams fired. They ripped through the air, streaking past the knights in some cases. One likely pierced right through Tyaethe, but the undead knight wouldn't likely care even if it was successful. Indeed, regardless of anything else, the witch seemed as if she was completely unable to stop the paladin's approach. But for some reason, even as that sword fell, even as it cleaved clear through her body, that grin never ceased.

Perhaps the reason why would be obvious. There was almost no blood. In fact, the moment that the witch fell apart in two halves, any blood simply ceased to flow. The circles faded, and before her body hit the ground both pieces simply broke apart into a flurry of what looked like butterflies.

One did not need to be an expert when it came to magic to know something was most definitely wrong.

For a few moments, Megumi looked down at herself. Changed? If everything was real now, did that mean that gameplay mechanics instead operated like they did in the lore? That made sense... if everything was real now. But on the other hand, why was it still possible to bring up menus? Aaah, this was so confusing! Based on what she'd seen so far, however, she could only assume the NPCs around her were now actual people rather than props, which immediately made the world radically different even without considering anything else. For one thing, there was a lot more of them, even considering that Emerald Odyssey was a game that had been praised for the number of characters it could have onscreen without risking any instability.

"... I... My character is human, so I don't think there's much to change..." Megumi looked down at herself. On one hand, she was glad she hadn't made herself radically different in-game... She really was basically just the same as she had been in the real world. Well, this was a real world now too, but the other real world. But really, if she'd known this would happen, maybe she would have tried to fulfill her wish to be taller and more mature...

Gaaah, thinking about that was just annoying on top of everything else!

"But I guess maybe my spells or something-eh?"

Before she could complete that thought, a message suddenly appeared, popping into existence in front of her.

"Sacchan?!" she cried, wide-eyed. Sacchan was here, too? Her friend had gotten sent here?!

The only thing she could do was try to send a response as swiftly as possible.

To: Hasselback

Sacchan, you're not alone! I got sucked into the game world too, and there's another girl! Everything is real now! I'm in the clock tower plaza, where are you!?

Going to get a post up today or tomorrow moving things ahead!
"So you chose to fail now, then... very well!" unperturbed by Tokiko's words, or at least seeming not to be, Kagami's grin seemed to grow sharper as she proceeded to ascend into the air, floating off the ground effortlessly. Her mirror shimmered, and from behind it emerged several smaller mirrors, eight in total, forming an arc over the purple-haired magical girl's head. Soon, she had ascended several meters into the air, one hand still on her cheek as she cocked her head to once side.

"Allow me to show you the difference between junk and myself!"

Hikari hadn't been expecting to transform so soon again, but there was no way that she could let something like this stand! That... who would make someone like this a magical girl!? Someone so arrogant, who would attack other girls who weren't even transformed... what kind of a magical girl was she!? The small brunette felt the magical energy flowing through her body once more, and once again she was surrounded in brilliant light, her clothing burning away as her hair and eye color changed. Soon enough, the light faded, leaving her in her magical girl outfit and with her hammer clutched in both hands.

"I'll knock you out of the sky!" she declared, raising her hammer back. Hikari didn't really know anything about how to fight like this, but she just wanted to smash that grin off of Kagami's face! There was that bang like a firework once more, and the small girl was sent rocketing forward! Even if she didn't really know what she was doing, she'd-

There was a brilliant flash of light.

Suddenly, Hikari was sent flying back. For a few moments, she wasn't even sure what happened, but a hot pain had lashed through her entire body almost instantly, her clothing scorched as she landed heavily on her back and rolled once. After a moment, she realized she had to have been hit by another laser...

Knocked senseless, cracks running through her hammer, the new magical girl simply laid there for a moment. The shock of being hit by something like that had stunned her, she'd never experienced anything like that before.

"As you can see, junk, it only takes a small amount of power for me to disable one of you," commented Kagami, "Now..."

The mirrors tilted, taking aim at Tokiko this time instead. But then...

Even Hikari, in her currently-stunned state, could feel it. There was a sudden twinge, some sort of dark pull...

An experienced magical girl could immediately recognize it was the presence of a shade.

"... Oh? Normally, the nearest fairy would come and inform the nearest magical girls... but I suppose they're quite busy with the Hex Night. Very well, junk," she said, the light fading from her mirrors, "The protection of the innocent is far more important then crushing you. I'll have plenty of time to destroy your aspirations for the Hex Night."

If anything good could be said of Kagami, her concern over the fact that a shade had appeared seemed genuine. Her mirrors folded into one once again, as she turned to begin to head in the direction of the shade.

She didn't seem to intend to stop any attempts to follow her, but the shade seemed to be her priority at the moment.
