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.

I think it's about time I updated again soon.
Saber - Benienma
Thankfully, Suzuka's Master released her. That panicked hug was especially stifling, it was as if she was going to vanish between a pair of exceptional pillows.
What wasn't so good was the reason why.
Benienma had been so focused on the fact that the image had been taken in the first place that she hadn't realized anything else. On top of that, while she knew of the internet and understood what it was and that it existed, she had never really used it to any great extent and was often a little lost on attempting to navigate it.
So she hadn't realized just how many people had experienced the image in the first place.
And not only that, but Suzuka was attempting to escape.
This would not stand.
"Suzuka... I'll punish that troublesome behavior of yours...!"
The diminutive redheaded yama leaned forward, fingers wrapping around the handle of her weapon. There was an eruption of motion, no doubt causing something of a scene in the fast food restaurant as Benienma rocketed towards her target, smoothly raising her weapon and...!
A perfect iai strike to the head was something to behold, especially when it was conducted with a rice paddle.

Mihama Nanako
The pain of spending so much money at once hadn't ceased yet. No, Nanako still had one more stop in mind, even if it was a bit difficult to carry everything at once.
"Actually, Meltryllis-san, er..." she paused for a moment. She didn't know how to broach the subject of clothing, not when the Alter Ego was intensely proud of her body to the point of wearing... well... an outfit that showed off so much of it. At the same time, she figured that some clothing for the petite blue-haired girl wouldn't be out of the question. Not even just so she wasn't so embarrassing to look at at times(what was with that metal plate?!) but because Nanako herself liked to wear different outfits... Maybe Meltryllis would as well?
"I was thinking we could stop at one of the shops and buy you an outfit or two," she said, finally, feeling the pain in her bank account already as she spoke, "If you don't see anything you like, it's fine, but we could at least look and see if there's anything you want, right?"
Basing it on Meltryllis's wants, rather then forcing the point like she had before with the prosthetic legs. That felt like the best way to get a good outcome.
@PKMNB0Y
@TruthHurts22: Hmmm, I'm not sure how well that would work.
@TruthHurts22: Let's see what you have in mind to start with.
@TruthHurts22: Hmmmm.
I'll consider it? I was thinking of allowing one more player but that'd be the limit.

Tomoko listened for a few moments to the various proposals presented from across the room. Most of them were sound, though Akari had already noted why oni were unlikely and the less said about the 'big bad wolf' the better. Indeed, it was clear that everyone present had done some real thinking! Not that she needed this sort of assistance, but it was sometimes useful to have other people thinking for themselves! She did pause a moment to eye Kaori as she tripped the yuki-onna strategically. After all, given the jorogumo's past, well, noting what she was doing when a cute girl was so close to her was important.
A yamauba would capture children to devour them.
Some legends spoke of aobozu harassing children.
Kappa had an entire legend around them attacking people, including children.
And a kuchisake-onna would approach people at night, including children, with the question of her own beauty and a pair of enormous scissors.
And, of course, a depraved human being could have abducted the children. Murdered them, abused them, or both.
All of these could have been the perpetrator.
And one was more likely then the others.
"There sure are a lot of youkai who like attacking children," mused Tomoko as she leaned back in her seat, "Normally, that might make it challenging to figure out our culprit. But it's not so difficult when you have your wonderful intermediary and club president here, is it?"
She flashed a smile towards the assembled club members as she rose to her feet, the bow in her hair bouncing.
"Since most of your suggestions make sense based off the information we have, it would be a struggle to figure out which one makes the most sense. At least, at first glance," she continued, "But how many of those are known for their willingness to visit the city? These days, many of your child-hungry youkai aren't too fond of visiting populated areas."
The blonde girl picked up her cane.
"We could be looking at a human perpetrator, that's true. But if that were the case, I don't think anyone would have spoken to me," she continued. "I'll admit right now it's based on conjecture and hearsay, but I have a strong feeling about this. And so, we're going to go to the scene of the crime and have a chat with some witnesses."
Given Tomoko's nature, it wouldn't take too much difficulty to understand who the 'witnesses' she mentioned were. There were no human beings who saw the crimes or knew anything about them...
At least, there were no living human beings.
"Today's club activities will be spirit invocation~!" declared the short girl brightly.

So one of you was very close there.
Alright so:
Mausoleum is fairly spacious. We have a wide rectangular entrance with a central altar. Any offerings on said altar are pretty old, except for the doll mentioned in my post. To the left and right are slots for coffins lining the walls, and decorative carvings featuring various Mayonite/Reonite iconography such as stylized moons, roses, and Lamplighters(more on those later). On either side of the altar is a spiral staircase downwards, which likely links up on the next floor down.
Any undead are not currently visible and and coffins do not appear to be disturbed.
Lamplighters, for some clarification, are a type of low-level divine entity that serves as psychopomps for Reon and Mayon. They light lamps that lead the souls of the dead to the afterlife. In appearance they're female children who wear tall hats that have lamps hanging from them, and carry a long rod with a candle hanging from one end. There's a Halloween-ish holiday centered around them as well, and they're not uncommon as grave decoration much like angels are in the real world.

The strained nature of the kitsune's smile wasn't lost on Tomoko, but she completely ignored it in favor of focusing on the tea.
"Ah, thank you," she commented as she took a seat at the head of the table, clapping her hands together as she did, "Tea would be lovely."
She cast a bright smile around at the assembled students. Yes, she'd done quite an excellent job at putting together various supernatural attendees at Miyama, and it hadn't taken very much effort at all!
At the oni's question, she simply cocked her head slightly.
"Of course, I wouldn't have walked if I was going to get wet," she said, simply. As someone who had been in contact with youkai for six years, effectively able to call many of them at will, well... Using their assistance to overcome things like a rainy day was only logical in the blonde girl's opinion.
"I'm sure you're all curious about our first order of business today, so I won't delay any longer," she continued, retrieving the daily newspaper from her bag. She didn't often read them, but picking up a copy seemed like it was a wise idea for illustrating the task at hand.
"Tada~" Tomoko declared, presenting the paper, or more specifically one of the articles.
The article in question was one that detailed all the publicly-avaliable knowledge on the recent rash of children's disappearances. There wasn't much, but it was enough to establish the fact that there was little to no evidence, and no way of knowing if the disappeared children were alive or dead.
Though given the length of time since the first known disappearance, the outlook was growing considerably more grim.
"Seven children have disappeared this month alone," she continued, "Without any evidence, with no sign of a struggle. Nothing is left behind at all. Even if I didn't have a few friends letting me know they thought something was going on, I think this would be plenty of reason to suspect it's not simply a human kidnapper, isn't it?"
At the very least, it was clear that Tomoko was taking the matter seriously, even if she had presented the newspaper article in such a lighthearted manner.
"I have my suspicions as to what it may be, but I'm curious if anyone else does," continued the girl as she put the newspaper down, waving her real hand idly, "Speculation and conversation are the best path forward!"
Indeed, assembling a plan of action meant discussing that plan of action first.
Tomoko had no intention of allowing another child to disappear, so letting the perpetrator go another night wasn't an option.
