  1. [22:58] <Tian> . . . dim light flickered through the derelict hall, casting long, dancing shadows between what used to be floor tiles, benches, and tables... plant pots and booths, thick dust peppering the remains of a large rotting carpet, amidst the chaos of broken paintings, unlit fireplace, and ceiling's roofbeams, old and heavy, lying on top of a smashed counter and racks of bottles... Cold wind
  2. [22:58] <Tian> breezed through the building, filling it up with the atmosphere of abandonment and disuse, making yellowing pages on the wall flutter and shiver, pages filled with old text... writings... and...
  3. [22:58] <Tian>
  4. [22:58] <Tian> * * *
  5. [22:58] <Tian>
  6. [22:58] <Tian> Target: Unknown creature that lurks around the cityblock;
  7. [22:58] <Tian> Powers and Specializations: The upsurge of recently turned monster girls casts a shadow of corruption on this entity. No presence of distinct magical use have been found.
  8. [22:58] <Tian> Information: The unknown individual or a creature is terrorizing the city block around Wand and Circlet, snatching and killing its victims. The entity is known to prey on lone individuals, capturing them offguard and leaving their lifeless bodies intact, with a minimal bodily harm.
  9. [22:58] <Tian> Risk Measurement: Unknown. Potentially lethal if faced alone.
  10. [22:58] <Tian> Conditions: Destroyed or brought to the brink of death.
  11. [22:58] <Tian>
  12. [22:58] <Tian> Reward: A minor wish. No strings attached.
  13. [22:58] <Tian>
  14. [22:58] <Tian> Warm, and comforting light was a'washin' the hall, brightening up the lively atmosphere of the pub as a lone girl was standing in front of the board, waiting and staring at the bounty board. Her eyes glowed with light radiance, gaze staring at the piece of paper as she waited for the time to come, her lean form sporting a dark scarf slightly glowing eyes staring at the entry, as she
  15. [22:58] <Tian> waited for others...
  16. [22:58] <Amelia-> Amelia's a slight, pale girl whose black hair is tied back in a simple ponytail. Her intense blue eyes are set in a face that seems accustomed to frowning. She's wearing a sleek blue-gray uniform, complete with gloves and boots, and offset with a crimson mantle clasped around her shoulders. A long, basket-hilted sword is sheathed at her waist.
  17. [23:01] <Amelia-> She looks to her companion as they walk down the street back to the Wand and Circlet. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asks again. "I mean...if you want to take a break or something...you don't need to worry..." She bites her lip, remembering how their last Overcity hunt went before forcing that thought down. This'll be different. Part of her's just afraid of screwing up in front of Alexa...or things going worse.
  18. [23:02] <Jran-Kri_> "A-absolutely sure," Alexa nods emphatically, the wide-brimmed red hat on her head nearly slipping off from the force of it. She uses her black, wooden staff like a fancy cane as she walks, clutching it tightly. "I-- This could be dangerous. C-can't let you do it alone."
  19. [23:04] <Amelia-> There's a mix of nervousness and anticipation to her posture that comes over as a tension in her slight frame- she's only slightly taller than her younger friend, even transformed. She puts one hand on her sword hilt as she walks alongside Alexa. She nods. "...I...Alright. Then I won't let you down either." Her frown fades and she smiles at Alexa. "And thanks. Let's beat this thing. Wonder if it'll just be us two hunting it?
  20. [23:06] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa laughs nervously, the almost inaudible titter wracking her shoulders. She shakes her head as they come upon the pub, her nut brown hair swishing against her shoulders. "Ah... I hope not. B-but if so -- Well, there's nothing we can't handle together!"
  21. [23:06] <therecorder_> "do you gals need a hand at this?"
  22. [23:06] <Nadia> Though she's nervous, at this point the girl is experienced in hiding it. In a corner booth of the establishment, awaiting the arrival of others, a teen girl with long red hair sits in relative silence, twirling a spoon between her fingers and occasionally muttering a small curse when it falls. Her figure is largely obscured between a loose fitting pair of jeans and hoodie, but even with
  23. [23:06] <Nadia> its hood pulled up and over her head, she's still recognizable to those who know her as Nadia. A glance to the bulletin board and then another down at her phone. It was almost time to get started...
  24. [23:06] <Tian> The pub's felt welcoming as always with little flickers of light jumping between polished tables, waitresses and staff members alike taking orders from different patrons... In comparison to wintery, snow filled streets outside, the warmness that emanated from the boiler and the crackling flames in the fireplace were ready to comfort and serve any weary traveler: a nice meal, a sturdy
  25. [23:06] <Tian> roof and a fierce barman ready to slap any and all who dared to trespass in his safe and humble abode... was there anything more one would've wanted?...
  26. [23:07] <Nadia> (http://imgur.com/VsmWPqV for those looking for a reference)
  27. [23:08] <Amelia-> Still...hunting down something causing trouble and killing people...That matters. That's the sort of thing she tells herself she signed up to do. It needs to die, and she- they'll- kill it. She pauses at the door. "Ready?" She asks Alexa. "Let's do this."
  28. [23:08] <Amelia-> She pushes the door open and steps inside. The pub's still much the same as it ever was. Amelia takes a moment to glance around, relaxing slightly.
  29. [23:09] <Amelia-> (http://i.imgur.com/w5CoM0D.jpg <-Amelia btw, though her ponytail's much shorter atm.)
  30. [23:09] <MagicalKyrie> Kyrie sat beside them somewhat, poking a bit at the gauntlet she had. Something strikingly similar to Agatha's... minus, you know, a lot of fancy bells and whistles, lacking antimagic and whatnot. Still... this thing was ridiculous, even moreso after some minor programming optimizations she applied. And to test it out on a job would be best... even if she couldn't do too much, letting Nadia run off on her own in something that
  31. [23:09] <MagicalKyrie> , well, seemed to be that of Razum's job... didn't sit well with her. "Well, it literally says you could die if you went alone... So yes, it probably is rather dangerous. So lets make sure everyone stays alive I guess..." Kyrie remarked with a small nod, checking her tool, and occasionally pulling out a gun to check it's ammo, before it vanished again... The 'no screwing up' thing on her mind too. Mostly, in that she hoped nobody would have to die on this trip, compared to... every... other time she did something... Focus, positive thoughts and hope and stuff like that, Kyrie... as she looked up to notice the others coming in, the black hair and dressed mahou shrugging as she got back to tinkering a bit and fiddling with the settings... "...Remind me to make a quick zoom in and out button, I set the values too low..." she muttered quietly to Nadia
  32. [23:09] <Jran-Kri_> ((http://i.imgur.com/q0Yu2YK.png <- Alexa, but with glasses, longer mantle, pink blouse instead of red))
  33. [23:09] <MagicalKyrie> as she fiddled with it. Sure, it was a fancy map in the end, but fancy maps help! At least, she uses the minimap in video games quite a lot...
  34. [23:10] <MagicalKyrie> (...Whoops, that was a lot longer than I thought it would be)
  35. [23:10] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa follows Amelia with a silent nod, glancing around the bar curiously. She examines the other girls hanging around the place, doddering just in front of the door.
  36. [23:12] <Amelia-> "Um..." Amelia hesitates. "I guess we're supposed to wait." And with that she marches over to the board, for lack of a better idea. She's...never actually met the other person who signed the bounty posting. Or this "Razum" for that matter.
  37. [23:12] <Nadia> "You worry too much, Kyrie." She stares listlessly at the wall, going over some unknown topic in her mind. "We fought Ain's harem. We can fight this."
  38. [23:14] <Amelia-> The listing doesn't seem to have changed since when she signed it...Her scrawled note's still there under the information, and so's Bernice's reply.
  39. [23:14] <MagicalKyrie> (oh yea, that's why I puleld up the browser: http://imgur.com/eWlZ3Lv Kyrie's looks. Middle is her current kind of attire at the moment. The headband has holes for her to indeed, put over as a mask.)
  40. [23:14] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa hurries after her, nodding. "Ah yes, yes. Of course. That, ah... that would make sense. Well! At least it's warm in here..."
  41. [23:15] <Nadia> The spoon drops from her hand again. "Fuck." She whispers softly, glancing down and picking it up again to repeat the process once more. Her hands were shaking, even as she tried to force them to cooperate. If she had nothing to lose, it would have been different, but failing this time would be far more disastrous than any other task before.
  42. [23:15] <MagicalKyrie> "...True, but I still don't want to leave things to chance..." she muttered back with a sigh. "Besides, optimizing this is important, I can 't help as much if I don't... screw it, I can quickly add some copy paste and edited values real quick..." she muttered, pulling out a tiny rasberry pi keyboard input to plug in and type at it.
  43. [23:16] <Amelia-> "Mmm..." Amelia replies distractedly, turning away from the board. She blinks. "Oh. Right. Sorry...I um, forgot to, you know..." She waves her hand vaguely as she looks to Alexa, looking sheepish. She probably should've summoned up a fire or something- sometimes, she doesn't even notice when it's supposed to be cold, when she's transformed...or that Alexa doesn't have that luxury.
  44. [23:16] == flashdrive_ has changed nick to Bernice
  45. [23:16] * Odile had waited to gather up those who had signed for the task (and perhaps one or two that had been given... prompting... from their certain favorite shadowy patron, and fulfilled of the bounty) and rendezvous. She almost had to double check if she was still invisible or not - but alas, her presence was just small. This plot resumed from whence she had sighted
  46. [23:16] * Odile Darcie, the girl corrupted and looking near death, and had been given insight she could reasonably lead the party and begin their search there. "... ... A-ah... Razum... Is. Not ... Here to, guide, but.. ... .. .. " she gestures to follow herself, leading the path for the small gathering of girls + 1, into the horrors unknown. "... ... I-it's. A. Priority..
  47. [23:16] * Odile .. To. Take care of the ... Monster. S-so. Try. Your best... ... W-we - um. He... I... Have a lead.. ... ... " without further adieu, she turns on her heel, bidding the others to follow her lead. "I-it's killed... Before. So. Be on your guard."
  48. [23:18] <Amelia-> Amelia glances at the girl- she's never seen her before, but her words are all she needs to hear. A glance to Alexa, then she takes a breath and follows their...guide.
  49. [23:18] * Bernice slams the door open and runs in, panting. His long, brown hair is completely un-braided and messy, and he hadn't even bothered to summon his gun. "Guhhh, I'm here. Sorry I'm late," Bern pants
  50. [23:18] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa shakes her head at Amelia, clearly not exceptionally inconvenienced. She may have been about to say as much when the strange girl speaks, jolting sharply in place in surprise. She seems a little embarrassed to have not noticed her, but far more nervous about the task at hand. Still, she nods shortly and follows after her.
  51. [23:18] <Bernice> (http://imgur.com/7v5c2AB.png)
  52. [23:19] <Bernice> His voice sounds high-pitched and feminine, which is unsurprising given his age. Is he even a boy? He doesn't dress like one...
  53. [23:21] <Amelia-> "Well, it's not killing again." Amelia comments, earlier tensions seemingly slipping away. In fact, she seems to practically be bouncing from foot to foot in anticipation. She glances at the newest arrival, a young girl. "Hey. You're here for the hunt too? I think you're just in time, not late." She looks at the newcomer again, then glances to the others.
  54. [23:21] * Nadia glances over as the other girl speaks. What, was Razum not going to make an appearance? Like its schedule was that busy. She sighs and tosses the spoon back down to the table with a light clack, rising from the chair and stretching lightly. The girl makes a point to reach up to her hood and make sure it stays tightly fixed to her head. "Ready, Kyrie?" A few steps forward as she
  55. [23:21] * Nadia approaches the timid girl. "Killer or not it's not like we haven't dealt with worse."
  56. [23:22] * Odile looks at Bernice, and the seated Nadia and Kyrie with a flat expression, her large pink eyes not blinking, and - politely holds the door open with a last bid. "P... Please, let us.. ... .." While those internal twinges would already begin to point the way to the path needed.
  57. [23:22] * Nadia paints on a small, cocky grin, trying to muster up her hero's persona. "And either way, if it's got an ass, I'll kick it. Let's go."
  58. [23:23] <Jran-Kri_> "Oh, ah, yes. Um. What she said," Alexa nods at Amelia, casting Bernice a crooked, awkward grin. Then she turns back to their apparent guide, nodding jerkily.
  59. [23:23] <Bernice> Catching her breath, Bernice glances at Amelia and Alexa and smiles before walking over to Odile, "So, how do you girls normally fight?"
  60. [23:24] <MagicalKyrie> "Huh? A lead... eh scrw it, closer than before." she sighed, nodding and scooting out from there... "Kinda strange that Razum isn't here but... eh, yea, we'd need to deal with the monster one way or another before it harms anyone else." she nodded, following with a slight smile, following along with Nadia, checking her gauntelt as it pulled up a map... one that hardly extended even down the street of the overcity. "Stupid mult
  61. [23:24] <MagicalKyrie> iversal technology and changing landscapes..." she muttered under her breath.
  62. [23:24] <Bernice> "I've rarely had the... /privilege/ of fighting alongside other Magical Girls. Only a few bank heists were ever that bad. How do Razum's girls normally handle combat?"
  63. [23:25] <Amelia-> Amelia blinks, distracted from the other two. "Um...well, I just use my sword most of the time...and if that doesn't work, I set it on fire." She explains. "Um, hey, do you guys know who Razum is?"
  64. [23:25] <Amelia-> ...Bank heists?
  65. [23:28] * Nadia blinks and looks to Bernice. "... Razum's girls?" There's an expression on her face that seems to make it obvious she wasn't aware Razum had multiple thralls. That cat slut was sleeping around! She shakes her head and keeps her grin. "I can't speak for any others but I normally just swing until its dead." Her expression perks up, two fingers snapping together as she points to
  66. [23:28] * Nadia Amelia, almost bouncing as she keeps walking forward. "Yeah, that's it! Just use the sword and win."
  67. [23:28] * Odile , with the others in tow, picks a path out of the pub towards a path illuminated with a small curve of moonlight, artificial? Maybe - but the path seemed to contrast against the looming darkness of the Overcity's surrounding night. The aloof, distant girl does not seem very inclined to talk much judging by her stutter, but by the set of her body is not
  68. [23:28] * Odile threatening or reluctant in the least. "... ...... I'm. Sure. All of you w-will be.. Able.. To take care of it..." As the surroundings would shift from the relatively non-threatening, semi-occupied region immediately surrounding the pub, to more derelict - empty, abandoned windows soon coming in to sight as the noises of their chatter became, in fact, the only noise to hear.
  69. [23:30] <Jran-Kri_> "A-ha. Well, um... there are quite a few of us," Alexa bobs her head again, looking at the group as if to do a quick headcount. Her staff trembles in her gloved hands. She sticks behind Amelia as if using her as a walking sandbag.
  70. [23:30] <Amelia-> "Hey, if it works..." Amelia grins back at Nadia. This girl gets it. "I'm Amelia, by the way. You?"
  71. [23:30] <Bernice> "Interesting," Bernice replies to Nadia, "So you don't /have/ any tactics? No wonder Shekelstein never has any problem getting what he wants."
  72. [23:31] <Amelia-> She glances to Alexa. "Yep. This thing won't stand a chance." She replies, missing the exchange between Bernice and Nadia.
  73. [23:31] * Bernice turns her attention to Odile, "Very well. Just lead the way, we shouldn't have any trouble dealing with this thing."
  74. [23:32] <MagicalKyrie> "Well, usually I'm the one to end up figuring tactics out for us... Nadia's strong enough to keep up in terms of sheer strength though." Kyrie shrugged gently towards them. "Also, I'm Kyrie, if we're doing introductions still. Basically can heal and... n-not much else besides take a hit." she added with a mutter, looking aside.
  75. [23:33] <Amelia-> She's a bit nervous about embarassing herself again, like that time...but it's not much of a concern. Instead, she's mostly just looking forward to the hunt. This'll be different from the last time. She has a good feeling about it. "Hey." She waves at Kyrie. "Well, healing's pretty useful. Right, Alexa?" She nudges her friend.
  76. [23:33] * Nadia shuts her eyes and wags a finger at the younger... giiiiiiirl? Bbbbboy? ... Meguca. "There's a lot of nuance that can go into swinging a blade. Mix-ups, reads, spacing, all that good stuff. Blind violence has its place too, though." She opens her eyes widely and fiercely, flashing teeth with her next grin. "And that's where Sparkling Hero Nadia shines her brightest, you know!"
  77. [23:34] <Jran-Kri_> "A-ha. Ah... That makes two of us!" Alexa brings her crooked, awkward looking smile to bear at Kyrie, bouncing on her heels. She nods again. "A-Alexa. Alexa Aldrich, at your service."
  78. [23:35] <Bernice> "You do tactics? Good, glad to hear I won't be on my own in that department. My name's Bernice, I usually operate ranged weaponry of all kinds. Shekelstein trusts me with all of the most expensive gear; I keep it in my hammerspace," Bernice reports
  79. [23:36] <Bernice> "Healing /is/ very useful, especially in the hands of a skilled tactician, and I won't lie, a heavy-hitter will be invaluable to our group. As long as we're all thinking tactics, we'll get along just fine," the soldier-girl explains blankly
  80. [23:36] * Nadia folds her arms across her chest and nods in affirmation, apparently continuing the conversation with herself, under her breath. "Shines like a star. Shines like a Fox! That's what a hero does." Nod nod. It was certainly at least one way to keep herself from crumbling under pressure.
  81. [23:37] <Amelia-> "Sparkling...hero..." Amelia blinks at Nadia. "Ah...Well, I guess that's a pretty neat name. To the point. So, um...how long have you been hunting? You...seem to know what you're talking about." Nadia seems distracted...
  82. [23:37] <Amelia-> *Gets right to the point." She's still not sure why she decided to add "Flaming Ace" to her own, back when she started... "So, um..."
  83. [23:39] <Bernice> "Odile, you're in charge here, right? Why are we just sitting here?" Bernice interrogates her teammate. Why was everyone just sitting here and talking? They had work to do! If she'd acted like this in the barracks...
  84. [23:41] <TN> The merry band of magical girls... and Bernie, venture deeper into the more abandoned part of the safe cityblock, leaving the couple of establishments that were refurbished and set up for travelers and a handful of residents alike... behind, soon leaving only empty towering blocks of ruined residential towers in their wake, their facades cracked, disused, walls and sections collapsed
  85. [23:41] <TN> down on the snowy pavement...
  86. [23:41] <TN> ... soon, only the chilly winter wind and their voices accompanied the group.
  87. [23:42] <Nadia> "Uuuh, close to about eight months now, I think." She estimates, turning to Amelia and flashing a small smile. She lifts her arms up and behind her hooded-head as she talks, but almost as soon as she turns her attention to Amelia, she's forced to look to her surroundings once again. If the Overcity had a downtown, this looks like it would be it.
  88. [23:43] <Jran-Kri_> "I-is that so?" Alexa takes one look at the decidedly frightening state of the locale and decides she'd rather see who Amelia has taken an interest in, looking up at the girl with her ever-present nervous smile. "Y-you m-must know a lot. I-I've only been doing this for, um... a month now."
  89. [23:44] * MagicalKyrie poked a bit at the gauntlet, trying to fiddle with a small map that seems to be mapping out the area around them for now, poking at certain dots to mark them and put names to them, following simply and looking around... keeping an eye on the map. "Lets see if this thing can ping out the enemies this time on this..." she mused.
  90. [23:44] <Amelia-> Amelia bites her lip, remembering the last time she was in a place like this. With Alexa. The Wendigo. Being helpless. She shakes her head. They'd won that one and this is different. "Um...twoweeks..." She mumbles.
  91. [23:44] <Odile> "M... Me? Oh.. .... " her eyes stare at Bernice, lingering and freezing up; ".... .... I. Am.. .. Just to help... Lead... ... Since. Razum. Is on.... B. Business," she mumbles out, turning her head back to the part of Overcity they'd begun to shift into. "... .. W... We're. Looking for... ... Inside. The border. Of the r-rift in the city," she murmurs flatly
  92. [23:44] <Odile> though her voice raised in volume just a touch to be heard. Her hand also raises in gesture towards the general direction of it. With certain residential towers, barricades up, and other unsettling features, the place looked less than hospitable to their company. Especially in the darkness.
  93. [23:44] <Nadia> "Just a lot about hitting things and getting hit." She smiles warmly. "It gets easier. Don't sweat it."
  94. [23:46] <Jran-Kri_> "A-ah. Well, um... You must be good at that," Alexa nods, snickering under her breath. Her shoulders bunch up. "I-if you say so. I-I, um... I'm not so good at, ah, hurting much of anything. I just help Amelia with that."
  95. [23:47] <Bernice> "You shouldn't be so shy. A weak-point in our communications could mean the defeat of our... fire-team. Speak up," Bernice offers sternly. Were all magical girls this... flawed? Surely their patron should have hammered this kind of weakness out of them years ago?
  96. [23:48] <Amelia-> Amelia hesitates in thought for a moment, then just nods wordlessly. "Hey, don't say that!" She replies quickly to Alexa. "What about that goblin? Or the...the banshee." She glances to Nadia. "Don't let her fool you. She's brilliant with her barriers, and that goblin never knew what hit it."
  97. [23:50] <Jran-Kri_> "A-ha. Far darrig, actually," Alexa corrects, pushing her glasses up her nose. "Um. I seem to recall *you* did most of the work with him. I-I just, you know. Kept him in place, and, ah... put him out of his misery."
  98. [23:50] <TN> Minutes turned into 10, as the alleyways everyone was taking opened up into a yet another, albeit bigger street... the number of debris and ruined sights increasing proportionally to the distance they were walking. Broken windows, heavily rusted lamp posts, some collapsed, some bent lying on the street... several metal carcasses of what looked like vehicles stayed buried under the snow
  99. [23:50] <TN> next to buildings, looking completely rusted and unusable
  100. [23:50] <TN> Parts of the buildings on the side of the road were collapsed, apartment complexes, towers and three story brick and mortar buildings with discolored, rusted signs with unintelligible pictures and letters, all alike in their grey undertones, but different in architecture... one of the brick-layed residential buildings seemed to have been tipped towards the street to the point that half
  101. [23:50] <TN> of it collapsed to the road, forming a snow covered brick pile and a dissected slice of the still standing half. The right 'border' side was seemingly abstructed by said buildings and while alleyways on the left of their block were open, leading deeper into the sprawl -- same passages on the right were blocked off by walls of garbage, debris, fences and sandbags, some of the barricades
  102. [23:50] <TN> seemingly jury rigged while others were bolted, sometimes even cemented in a more professional manner.
  103. [23:50] <TN> All in all, the streets felt empty and mostly devoid of life, the outskirts of the spacially stable cityblock, one of the so called 'safe havens', being nothing less, but empty... at least at this late time of the day. No animals, birds, stray cats or alike traversed the urban locale with the most remotely lively thing around the pair being the wind itself.
  104. [23:50] <TN> ... and the fact seemed to be well reflected in the magical map that the smaller girl was wielding, many blinking dots remaining behind, closer to the safe haven's center, while the outer rim they were moving through, stable as it is, were nearly empty... except...
  105. [23:52] <MagicalKyrie> "Hmm? Well... wish I could say the same here." Kyrie sighed, shrugging to them as she looked up for now... "My magic's not that strong... nor is much else I got." she remarked flatly, eyeing around towards the busted up landscape... "Possibly some things at the center of the area...?" she muttered, eyeing her map again at this, somewhat not seeming all in on the conversation right now.
  106. [23:52] <Amelia-> "Nah, I mostly just got myself hit on the head. You actually killed it." Amelia says encouragingly. "Far darrig, right." Amelia keeps walking.
  107. [23:52] <Nadia> "Oh yeah? Kyrie here has some barrier tricks of her own." She grins and reaches a gloved hand out to pat the other girl's head. "She's really good with them." The girl's eyes look to Kyrie, indicating that the compliment was more for her than the others.

  111. [23:55] <Jran-Kri_> "Nonono, that's now how it happened. You struck him down, I just finished things," Alexa shakes her head as she glances around them again, noting the continually decaying state of the city. She shudders, turning back to Nadia. "A-ha. So she's said. I, um, believe we're of the same, ah, what's the word? Discipline.
  112. [23:57] <MagicalKyrie> "...God damn overcity world warping... hang on." she muttered, fiddling with it some more, a slight blush at the complement from Nadia and the headpat as she leaned in a little, her unsure look fading quickly as she tapped at it. "...Okay I can't even tell... four maybe at most? Expect a fifth just incase... wandering where I assume our guide is taking us." she nodded, looking up from the console for now.
  113. [23:58] * Bernice listens intently to the other girls' conversation. Interesting. They seem to be discussing their past combat experiences. How very logical. Perhaps she'd misjudged them?
  114. [00:00] <Bernice> "Four what?" Bernice asks as, almost immediately, a gust of wind brushes past Kyrie's face and the soldier appears standing in front of her.
  115. [00:00] <Amelia-> Amelia blinks. "Four...what, exactly? Can you tell with that thing?" She asks, hand on her sword hilt. She's just realized what's been making her uneasy- it's like that park all over again, with how quiet things suddenly are. She glances to Alexa.
  116. [00:01] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa meets Amelia's gaze, swallowing. The red crystal ball at the end of her staff glows faintly.
  117. [00:03] <Amelia-> That's all the prompting she needs. She reaches across for her sword's basket hilt and draw the silvery blade in a smooth gesture.
  118. [00:03] <MagicalKyrie> "...Hell if I know. This map is kinda useful... kinda not." she sighed towards Bernice. "Can't determine what they are, weapons, combat methods, anything. Just that they're wandering, and the mapping is too inconsistant to even keep a solid line on them to properly gauge speed or numbers..." she muttered to them all. "Agatha added a power scanner but... it doesn't work on non-transformed, nor without basically being in physica
  119. [00:03] <MagicalKyrie> l contact. I know, basically, it's useless for that stuff." she muttered. "They aren't stopping, so it's somewhat assumable they won't take up coherant formations or firing positions on us... but that's still just a guess."
  120. [00:04] <TN> The group began to approach two derelict looking skyscrapers on the edge of the cityblock, the lonely, rusty strip of a barbed wire stretching between them, many of its ledges, poles and sections destroyed, fallen - a relic of the past, it seemed - now covered in snow and icy frost... What remained around, though were the signs...
  121. [00:04] <TN> //// ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! ////
  122. [00:04] <TN> /// Leaving the safe zone! ///
  123. [00:04] <TN> ... and other signs were drawn in orange and yellow colors... something that looked overly akin what a police force would've used to barricade and control civilian traffic - now rusted , battered and crumbled from years? Decades? Ages of disuse?
  124. [00:04] <TN> On the other side of the street, rows upon rows of signs, some jury rigged from wooden planks and bright, white paint, some written neatly on now rusting metal plates - dozes of them spreading over the side of the left skyscraper, written in many languages - English, French, Italian... heck, some signs were even bearing incomprehensible symbols made out of large dots that looked like
  125. [00:04] <TN> braille... but who would've read it when it was hanging multiple yards away, over their heads.
  126. [00:04] <TN> Hollow wind brushed through the wide, crumbling street, some of the skyscrapers and buildings around eliciting creaking, metalish noises...
  127. [00:04] <TN> ... however Morse wasn't giving much of a reaction, simly staring down at the road as she walked forth... heading dangerously close into the rusty, barbed wire.
  128. [00:05] <TN> [whoops, line slipping in :3]
  129. [00:05] <TN> [everything sans the last part]
  130. [00:05] * Nadia nods. "Lifting the weight of darkness, my soul is light." The girl begins to glow brightly, floating off the ground and curling into a ball as she transforms. She emerges in what most would consider a stylized adventurer's unifrom, armor plate on her legs and forearms while the rest of her body is protected solely with a bright red cloth. A large cloak unfurls from her shoulders,
  131. [00:05] * Nadia billowing in a nonexistant breeze for the briefest of moments before settling down. As the glow begins to fade, Nadia steps lightly on the ground, reaching a hand up to cover her head for a moment until visibility fades once again in the darkness of their surroundings.
  132. [00:06] <Nadia> Keen eyes may note her silhouette has changed, strange protrusions outlined on her head and waist.
  133. [00:07] <TN> The closer proximity was clearing the map's picture up, the overlapping fluctuations from the nearby, bordering rift in front of the group stepping away...
  134. [00:09] <Bernice> A strange, glowing rectangle of turqoise light materialises in Bernice's hands and disappears seconds later, a silver, gold-etched and bejeweled assault rifle appearing in its place. She stays silent, her eyes trained on Kyrie and her map.
  135. [00:09] * Odile mutely nods to Bernice as she continues to drift along, feeling both somewhat relieved that she was not pressured to speak in such company, but worried at the same time; well, if Razum put faith in them, she would... ... Hope for the best. "W-we're. V... Very close now," she says softly to whoever is closest in earshot, her near constantly on third eye/s
  136. [00:09] * Odile gazing uneasily upon the landscape. "... ... P...please, um. Ready yourselves... All... Are transformed..?"
  137. [00:10] <Amelia-> Amelia blinks away the afterimage. "Nice outfit..." She says distractedly, already looking from sign to sign and just in front of Alexa as the group moves. Her gloved grip on her sword tightens slightly. It's the waiting that gets to her. She wants to do something- to let that rush of adreneline out...but there's nothing to do yet. "Yep, ready..." She looks to Alexa. "We've got this." She repeats.
  138. [00:10] <Amelia-> *got this...
  139. [00:11] <MagicalKyrie> "...Nevermind, seems this map is just laggy. That, or they are hiding better. One target, upstairs... I think fleeing or advancing up. Still no sight of the others, and I have no idea if those were false positives or not." she muttered... "And I'm transformed whenever I can, the benefit of having low magical power but high sustainability I guess." she added, looking up with a nod.
  140. [00:11] <Jran-Kri_> "Ready as I-I'll ever be," Alexa's crooked grin widens like a fissure, her teeth flashing. Every so often she adjusts her glasses, or her hat, or her mantle -- anything to keep her hands busy. She nods at Kyrie. "A-ah, well, that's... that's what we want, right? One monster. That's what it said."
  141. [00:11] <Amelia-> She's not nervous, she tells herself. This isn't the Wendigo. "Let's go after the one we have, then." She suggests, nerves making her suggestion sharper than she meant it to be.
  142. [00:13] <Bernice> "Which way? Point and I'll fire," Bernice orders Kyrie sternly
  143. [00:13] <Bernice> ('point and I'll shoot in that direction' not 'don't point or I'll shoot you', lol)
  144. [00:13] <Nadia> (http://imgur.com/VaLnQlB REFERENCE SORT OF, IMAGINE THAT BUT RED AND WITH NADIA IN IT AND THE SWORD IS LIKE EIGHTEEN TIMES BIGGER)
  145. [00:16] <TN> The map seemed to indicate that the entry way to the derelict skyscraper... was quite in front of them? Though judging by the walls that were leading into a spacious lobby with elevator shafts and staircases -- doors seemed to be barred by one of the bigger, bolted metalish plates that sported warning signs.
  146. [00:17] <Amelia-> "I guess they don't want visitors..." Amelia comments.
  147. [00:18] <TN> Frankly, the entire perimeter of the first floor seemed to have been barricades, with planks, metal sheets and garbage, surrounding the skyscraper-turned-billboard
  148. [00:19] <MagicalKyrie> (Oh god I think I know what this is OOCly. Too bad there's no way anyone here (besides maybe Amelia? I think not, I'm prolly mixing up names) will know.)
  149. [00:19] <Amelia-> "Make that REALLY don't want visitors..." Amelia amends as she takes a closer look. "Well...I could see how much of this stuff burns?" She suggests.
  150. [00:20] <MagicalKyrie> "...I have explosive charges, if we're not in any rush, but that's going to ruin the element of surprise if we blwo up, kick, or break the door in most any way. Not that I expect us to surprise a single thing just... there." Kyrie muttered.
  151. [00:21] <Jran-Kri_> "Ah, well, um..." Alexa tries to peek over the first floor, up at the second or even third stories, to see how intact their windows were.
  152. [00:21] <Amelia-> She raises her sword slightly. Her magic flickers a little higher. All but asking to be used. "Well, we're going to stop them anyway, right? So what if they know we're coming?"
  153. [00:21] <Nadia> "W- Well, too bad. Knock knock." The silhouette of whatever appendage was protruding from her waist disappears as it curls around her body. Soemthing was making her hair stand on end, but the mission had to go on. The wish was too valuable... "I'm with her. Break it down and break some bones. Doesn't need to be complicated."
  154. [00:22] <MagicalKyrie> "Fair enough, if any of you are barging through the door, that'll put you inside quicker... otherwise you'll need to wait for the explosion to, you know, finish before we go in."
  155. [00:23] <TN> Roll perception, Alexa. [1d20+Lck+Any perception bonuses]
  156. [00:23] * Bernice sighs, "At this point, we should split up and investigate the perimeter. I normally wouldn't suggest attempting such a task individually, but since we're all magical girls here, this situation is an exception." She turns her attention to the last three girls to speak, "Surprise is not an advantage we should be so eager to squander."
  157. [00:24] <Amelia-> "Let's split up, gang?" Amelia shakes her head. "Bad idea. They probably know we're here anyway. Sneaking around won't help."
  158. [00:25] * Odile hovers by the entrance, holding her hands to her chest and giving a look towards the party and back to the building. "... I.. .. There. Is.. Some sort of... Tunnel between the t-two skyscrapers. S..sewers maybe... If you w-want to go quietly.... A-and ... The tower on the. Right. Seemed... Easier. To. Enter," she addresses primarily Bernice, but probably
  159. [00:25] * Odile everyone could hear.

  162. [00:25] <Jran-Kri_> ((10 + 4 = 14))
  163. [00:26] <Amelia-> "Wouldn't it take longer though?" Amelia seems reluctant to change her mind. "What if they already know we're here? That just gives them more time to get away."
  164. [00:26] <TN> Second, third, forth, fifth, dozens of floors up sported shattered glass, and while the side of the building they were facing was thoroughly covered in many planks and metal sheets, the building's sides seemed more open... Anyone with the wings, agility or magic to scale the building could've entered the building from above, though the glass shards in the smaller windows throughout first
  165. [00:26] <TN> 10 floors looked less than savoury...
  166. [00:26] <Nadia> "Safety in numbers, not that I couldn't solo these guys." The girl nods her head as she reaches a hand out to her side and emits a gentle glow from it. Those watching her could see the light reveal a pair of red cat ears on the girl's head. "Talking about it is wasting time. No more debate, take a vote or I'm going to bust down the door myself."
  167. [00:27] <MagicalKyrie> "...We could just shoot the second floor with a rocket launcher and climb or jump up." Kyrie said somewhat flatly... "Can everyone besides me get up there quick enough?"
  168. [00:27] <Amelia-> Amelia blinks at the car ears. That's...different. She shakes her head. "I agree. I say we bust it."
  169. [00:28] <MagicalKyrie> "...Well, screw it, guess we're busting into the front door." she shrugged, nodding.
  170. [00:28] <Jran-Kri_> "Uh-- Um! P-please don't do that," Alexa turns from the building, wringing her hands at the more experienced girl. Looking at Alexa, however, she finds herself nodding. "A-alright, i-if you all say s-so. I suppose there are more of us than there are of it, right?"
  171. [00:28] <Nadia> The light in her hand twists and molds itself into the silhouette of an enormous full blade, and as the light fades, the sound of metal meeting metal clanks through the air as she hefts it onto her shoulders.
  172. [00:29] <Jran-Kri_> "I- I, um..." Alexa glances back up at the skyscraper, frowning. "I think I s-saw something on the second... no, the third... both. I saw a light, I think."
  173. [00:29] <Amelia-> Amelia pauses. "Two lights?" she asks
  174. [00:29] <Jran-Kri_> ((Whoops, that should be "looking at Amelia" up there.))
  175. [00:30] <Bernice> (back from dinner)
  176. [00:30] <TN> ... as the girls were conversing, another chilly gust of wind sweeped through the lonely street, ruffling everyone's hair, sprinkling some with falling snowflakes.
  177. [00:31] * MagicalKyrie kept an eye on the map. "I'll tell you if this thing moves I guess." She nodded, ready to follow the team as it stood.
  178. [00:31] <Amelia-> Amelia freezes up for a moment. It's not the Wendigo. It's not. "Okay." She says flatly. "Seriously, I'm pretty sure it knows we're here."
  179. [00:31] <Jran-Kri_> "I- I... think so. It must have been. It was definitely up there, though," Alexa nods confidently.
  180. [00:32] <MagicalKyrie> "Almost certainly. It's probably a trap no matter which way we go."
  181. [00:32] <Amelia-> Amelia has to consciously relax her grip on her sword a bit. "Hmm...I...I haven't really tried jumping like this before...First time for everything..." She's babbling.
  182. [00:32] <Bernice> "Very well then. We might as well deal with it now," Bernice offers (attempting to draw a missile launcher from Hammerspace)

  185. [00:32] <Bernice> (oh yes)
  186. [00:33] <MagicalKyrie> "If you jump up, mind the glass. Hence the reason I suggest a rocket launcher for no-" she started, before seeing Bernice beat her to it. "...Oh you have one too."
  187. [00:33] <Bernice> The soldier girl pulls a massive missile launcher seemingly from thin air and aims it at the building. (should I roll?)
  188. [00:33] <MagicalKyrie> "...A-anyway, shoot it to clear the glass and debris somewhat so we have a landing spot up there."
  189. [00:33] <MagicalKyrie> (And before anyone says anythign: Yes, I did take this tactic basically from fucking XCom)
  190. [00:34] <Bernice> "Where exactly do you want me to fire? At the top, on the second floor, or what?"
  191. [00:34] <Jran-Kri_> "Oh... oh my," Alexa adjusts her glasses, staring at the launcher. She steps back, away from the wielder. "I- I hope you know what you're doing."
  192. [00:34] <TN> Where are ye planning to shoot, Bern? :3
  193. [00:34] <TN> Or rather, what part of the building?
  194. [00:34] <MagicalKyrie> "My suggestion is somewhere it'll blow up the glass, unless anyone feels like getting cut up by possibly magic glass on the way in. Which, for the record, is not fun. Alternatively just shoot the door and we go in the 'expected' front door."
  195. [00:35] * Odile bows her head and quietly slinks away while the girls were talking; "I-I'll be watching... ... I-if... T-things go wrong.... I'll. tell. Razum.... A-and.. .. See about... R-reinforcements." With that, her presence becomes harder and harder to detect, though she was easily ignorable to begin with, until she disappears entirely to leave the heroes to do their

  202. [00:36] <MagicalKyrie> "...Incoming, it's noticed us and is approaching the wall or windows... It's going slow, lets get moving BEFORE that thing opens fire at us." Kyrie suggested a bit, sighing and looking around... "And watch out for traps in there, of course."
  203. [00:37] * Nadia forces another cocky smirk on her face as she begins to dash forward, recklessly approaching the now-damaged door
  204. [00:37] <TN> With a missile launcher materializing in Bernice's hands, and the trigger getting pulled, the rocket gets propelled right at the barricaded entry! Everyone, roll luck~

  220. [00:44] <TN> The missile effortlessly slams head first into barricaded sectio-- *BAM* sending out a blast wave of sound and force through the quiet street's air, the explosive rocketing the derelict building, making entire building wail with a metalish screech. The explosion sends out a shrapnel of wood and metal bits flying into the building's interior as well as outside.. with some of them
  221. [00:44] <TN> unfortunately flying back, scraping Bernice and Amelia.
  222. [00:46] == iHelen [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
  223. [00:46] <TN> Several signs collapse down with the new, albeit crude hole creating an opening into the lobby... as the air around girls started to become increasingly chillier.
  224. [00:49] <Amelia-> "Ah!" Amelia yelps in pain, blinking away wood dust and smoke. She touches her forehead, and her glove's bloody when she pulls it away. There's an ache in her side and arm that betrays where shrapnel's hit her. "Goddamnit! Hey, mind letting the bad guys do that?" She starts, then blinks. That girl's run off. She looks to Alexa. "Hey, you didn't get hit, right?" She asks, concerned.
  225. [00:51] <Jran-Kri_> "O-oh my!" Alexa cringes, ducking away from the shrapnel and only uncurling a good quarter of a minute after the blast. Looking at Amelia, she starts, hurrying over to her. Her staff glows brightly as healing magic washes over Amelia. "I-I'm f-fine! Look at you!"
  226. [00:51] <MagicalKyrie> "Uh, guys, the thing is doing something I think, there's a magic field seeming to expand from it... It's starting to come out." She called simply.
  227. [00:51] * Nadia dashes in without a second thought, blade drawn and combat on her mind. Whatever the target was, Kyrie said it was going for the windows, so the fast she could get up there, the better.
  228. [00:51] <Amelia-> There are brief flickers of blue fire, and her cuts fade away, leaving only smears and tears in her uniform. "I'm fine too." She reassures Alexa then whirls around. "Okay, let's do this!" She grips her sword.
  229. [00:52] <MagicalKyrie> "If we're gonna take cover inside, we better do it fas-" she started, seeing Nadia charge in. "Well that answers that!" Kyrie nodded, hurrying after Nadia.
  230. [00:52] <Jran-Kri_> "Oh dear, oh dear," Alexa mutters to herself, looking at Kyrie in dread and then Nadia's charging form with nothing short of horror. Jolting, she rushes after them.
  231. [00:53] <Amelia-> Amelia's sprinting already as well. She doesn't want to be the last one to the fight- definitely not after Alexa!
  232. [00:55] <TN> Seconds later as the rocket exploded into the lobby and bottom floor of the skyscraper... the exterior sheathes off in long chunks of concrete, cement, and largely - dust, clouding outwards from the blast zone Bernice had struck accompanied by an avalanche of sound, the explosion by far the loudest noise - echoing out into the great, desolate land our heroes had found themselves in.
  233. [00:55] <TN> Suddenly, another explosion rockets the building, as the second and third floor's walls explode! Chunks of concrete and metal flying out as landings are exposed, the foundation stripped away, steel wires and other intact remnants of construction spiking out wards with broken glass littering and catching what little moonlight there was in this dark evening...
  234. [00:55] <TN> It only seemed to further the contrast between the gaping cavern the party had just created, like a maw of some great beast waiting to devour them.
  235. [00:55] <TN> Everyone who's sprinting into the building, roll dodge or luck!

  247. [01:04] <questionmarksx3> A figure is hunched over in the suddenly created cavity in the second floor at Far range, a dark and shadowed being about the same size as the others, though with two paralleled forms to either side. Its features are difficult to make out, but less so was the arrow it had notched, the silver of the tipped head catching the light as it makes an attack!

  250. [01:06] <MagicalKyrie> "Gah! Okay then, basically gets to control the building, right, fun, owch!" Kyrie muttered, wincing as she sprinted to keep up, looking to the map to notice the figure... Probably not in time to notice or react as all it showed was an enemy dot.

  286. [01:15] <Amelia-> "Alexa!" Amelia looks horrified, but doesn't have time to do anything.
  287. [01:15] <questionmarksx3> (It was a surprise round)
  288. [01:15] <questionmarksx3> The volley of arrows slam true into their chosen targets.
  289. [01:16] <Amelia-> That isn't how it works. They don't hurt her. They don't go after Alexa, that's why Amelia's there what good is she if-
  290. [01:17] <MagicalKyrie> (Well, we can just as easily say Bernice wasn't running in, and therefore not hit by the building smash/surprise volley I assume)

  309. [01:30] <TN> Okay... sorry for t'delays!
  310. [01:30] <TN> Dozens upon dozens of shadowy arrows rain over everyone's heads hitting and trying to stab through everyone's defenses, their sharp tips lodging into outfits, some repelled by protective magic that the girls had...
  311. [01:30] <TN> Following the impact wit the wall, the shadowy arrows effortlessly barrage Nadia's defenses, straining her outfit's ability to keep the injured girl alive [-10 Soak]
  312. [01:30] <TN> ... unlike in Amelia's case who was dodging and parrying the arrow tips rather well, with only a couple of them grazing the protective layer... staying on par with the map wielder who cautiously followed the group, behind! [Amelia and Kyrie: -4 Soak]
  313. [01:30] <TN> ... however Alexa's case wasn't the prettiest one, the magical arrows overpowering her outfit, penetrating through the defenses and stabbing the girl through her flesh, the injuring arrows staying like that for a couple of seconds before vanishing into thin air, leaving bleeding wounds [Soak's completely negated: -3 Soak. -4 Wound, bringing her to 6 HP, down through the first threshold:

  339. [01:40] * questionmarksx3 looms over the avant-grade created balcony, her features coming into view. A slightly shiny figure of a girl, melded and seeming to ooze at places as if partially boneless, with a large sphere on its back and two outstretched tendrils of wings, frilled and oozing with moistness. The damp sheen of the figure catches the waning light, and a distorted cry comes
  340. [01:40] * questionmarksx3 out of it causing the slightly gelatinous figure to ripple. It looks humanoid, and taking another step you can make out a secondary sphere, looking like a lump of child's head sized lump coal, attached to the girl's weapon, a curved great bow with dark swirls at either end. After the cry, it is silent, but you can feel it staring down at all of you.

  351. [01:44] <Darcie> (What's your weapon enhancement and outfit enhancement Bernice?)
  352. [01:44] <Bernice> (Rapid Firing and Determination)
  353. [01:47] <Darcie> Bernice's bullets scatter into Darcie's form, the holes they created as they pass through her body mirroring the ones on her porous snail. The wounds gape and clench, the darkness from within seeming to pour out from her form.
  354. [01:48] <Amelia-> [My turn?]
  355. [01:49] <TN> As the vaguely girl-like form gets injured, dark misty smoke begins to thicken around her, darkening around the wounds.
  356. [01:49] <TN> Amelia, go!
  357. [01:49] <Bernice> Bernice stays silent as her bullets rip through the monster's body, simply maintaining her fire in controlled bursts. No emotion involved, no holding back, just as she'd been trained.
  358. [01:49] <Amelia-> Amelia bashes the last arrow aside with an almost contemptuous swing, her sword blazing with intense blue-white light. Then she hears an all too familiar scream, and whirls to see Alexa fall. "No. Nonono..." She's gone very pale, sword almost slipping from nerveless fingers and the monster completely forgotten as she dashes over to kneel by Alexa. "Oh god...Alexa...Please, please be okay..."
  359. [01:49] <Amelia-> Blood. A lot of it. She forces herself to stand, raising her sword and standing between Alexa and the...thing, her features twisted into a mask of fear and rage. "It's okay, it'll be okay..." She whispers over and over, voice shaking.
  360. [01:49] <Amelia-> [Amelia makes a Cover action for Alexa.]
  361. [01:50] <TN> Counted! Alexa's turn~
  362. [01:52] <TN> The paladin girl holds her ground between the emerged monstrocity and the injured girl on the ground, holding her weapon and resolve high, ready to sacrifice herself for her friend.
  363. [01:52] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa stops crawling when she realizes the cover has come to her, looking up at Amelia through watery eyes. She rolls onto her back, screwing her eyes shut in an attempt to stem the tears before raising her staff above her, muttering as the crystal ball glows. Physical Healing, -1 from second threshold.
  364. [01:52] <Jran-Kri_> !ex 8 vs 7

  367. [01:53] <Jran-Kri_> (("*looking up at Amelia." I keep doing that. Sorry, it's late.))
  368. [01:55] <TN> The healing energy surges through the injured, stopping the bleeding and closing some of her wounds [+3 HP, she returns back to the first threshold]
  369. [01:55] <TN> Kyrie, go!
  370. [01:57] * MagicalKyrie moves over towards Nadia, holding her hands out as her staff comes out and magical circles form behind Nadia, "Ready for a boost, Nadia?" (Gonna knockback you to close range of Darcie, Y/N Nadia?)
  371. [01:59] <Nadia> The girl cries out as she's hit, more in frustration than pain. To have so much of her protection eaten away before she could even react was... Well, it doesn't matter. Just focus on what's ahead. The sound of Alexa's cries and Amelia's desperate pleas meets her ears, and the girl's desire to be the hero grows. She isnt' the only one with loved ones to lose here. The girl nods resolutely,
  372. [01:59] <Nadia> swallowing the lump in her throat and forcing that cocky smirk on her face, convincing herself. "Damn right! Let's go!"
  373. [01:59] * MagicalKyrie releases the circles as they fling her forwards to meet them at a closer range combat.
  374. [02:00] <Amelia-> Amelia looks down to her friend when she notices the glow, still wild-eyed and her face a canvas for fear and worry. "A-Alexa?"
  375. [02:00] <Jran-Kri_> With a sigh of relief, the worst of the pain abates. Alexa offers Amelia a shaky, silent thumbs-up and an even more crooked grin than usual.
  376. [02:01] <MagicalKyrie> (Which should be my turn then I guess? Knockback'ing Nadia to Darcie's close range)
  377. [02:03] <TN> In a quick, dashing move, both Kyrie and Nadia fling forth towards the mounstrous girl on the second floor, the pair closing in on her, together. Nadia, go!
  378. [02:03] <MagicalKyrie> (...Wasn't expecting to go with, but I'm not opposed to that~)
  379. [02:04] <TN> [Your choice, actually, I've misread one part]
  380. [02:05] <TN> [Can be retconned one way or another]
  381. [02:05] <MagicalKyrie> (Well, I'm fine with how it goes, but Knockback moves the target, not you. Mechanically there's not really a way for Kyrie to go with~)
  382. [02:05] <Darcie> Tendrils of slime-dripping appendages seem to shift with a mind of their own to regard Nadia, the girl's corrupted appearance becoming more apparent in closer proximity. You can see pale blue scraps of color beneath the dark black ooze, though with what was being emitted from the pitted sores in her body, the vision fades with the passing moment. Her
  383. [02:05] <Darcie> greatbow's shape also becomes more clear; the black lump of a snail shell attached to the bow's shaft, mirroring the heavy shell on the monstrous form. It's face looks barely human, lips cleft and fused unnaturally into two damp flaps with dark eyes, which palpitate as if in breath. You can see something red between it's 'mouth'.
  384. [02:05] <MagicalKyrie> (I'll keep this ruling if possible but I don't see a mechanical way it happens~)
  385. [02:05] <Nadia> "HaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The girl screams as mighty a roar as her lungs can summon, her blade flying forward and arching above her head as if made of foam rather than solid metal. The blade falls, and crashes down with the weight of an object ten times its size. (Heavy Handed - 1 Mana, Make STR attack using MAG stat. Just doing a bog-standard attack to test the waters.)
  386. [02:06] <Darcie> (Kyrie can you please not be rude to your GM? Taunting with ~is kinda uncalled for if it was misread)
  387. [02:06] <TN> [Fluff wise, if both of them are 'under the circle'/within the small circle/share it. If RaI's only for one target, then Kyrie stays back]
  388. [02:07] <MagicalKyrie> (Not trying to be rude :x Just saying for rule-wise it's not possible, even if it's in my favor)
  389. [02:08] <MagicalKyrie> (Unless I could technically attack 'myself' with knock back... which is... an interesting tactic I should consider later, but yea.)

  396. [02:09] == jadis [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: Page closed]
  397. [02:10] <Bernice> (in fact, it makes you leave the battle temporarily)
  398. [02:10] <MagicalKyrie> (Main reason I assume I can't is because it would completely negate the point of retreating normally, as you remove contesting rolls as you are moved to a range that will take an action just to be in range again, and hence why I was asking if I can target an ally to apply the effect in an aimed style... :x Because distances can get weird in relation to stuff)
  399. [02:11] <MagicalKyrie> (since what happens if someone knock back's someone knock back in the distance of the first one?)
  400. [02:11] <MagicalKyrie> (or, opposite)
  401. [02:11] <MagicalKyrie> (of knocking back even further, does it make it into two turns relative, or one flat for all?)
  402. [02:12] <Bernice> (that's not really possible because the person who was knocked back will have left the combat area and would need to spend a turn to rejoin)
  403. [02:12] <Bernice> (you can't knock them back again until they rejoin the combat)
  404. [02:12] <Amelia-> "Y-you..." Amelia remembers to breathe. "Y-you...scared me there. I...Never mind." She laughs. Actually laughs, a half-hysterical note. She's still standing over Alexa. Her expression hardens. "Be right back. Going to kill this thing."
  405. [02:13] <MagicalKyrie> (And if you knock back two people at once?)
  406. [02:13] <Bernice> (I don't know if that's possible)
  407. [02:13] <Bernice> (however, I agree that if you can move someone that far with a knock-back action, you should be able to do something similar as an 'assisted movement' action. That's up to the GM though)
  408. [02:14] <Darcie> The corrupted girl is favored by murk continuing to sift from her body, the striated wounds seeming to breath out the darkness as her body shifts. Whatever faint color remained to her body was being amalgamated into the pure pitch blackness, as she readies her bow at the party again, the arrows no longer silver-tipped but made from the same voidal substance
  409. [02:14] <Darcie> as herself.
  410. [02:14] <TN> [Ruled out as possible, given the relatively close distances and the building right in front of everyone. Already PM'd the movement one out... the 'two targets at the same time' though doesn't seems to be the case]

  474. [02:39] <MagicalKyrie> (That's prolly gonna be traumatizing for Alexa though, watching Amelia cover her and get her arm severed)
  475. [02:40] <Amelia-> (Amelia has a good set of lungs on her and is about to use them.)
  476. [02:40] <Jran-Kri_> ((Significantly.))
  477. [02:40] <Darcie> The barrage of void arrows slam forward out of the snail-girl, making her form shudder as more of the voidal ports in her body - rip apart, exposing the darkness inside. The snail-shaped shell on her bow falls off the curve of the weapon, to be absorbed into one of the yawning holes populating the monstergirl's body. She gives a raw cry as her arrows fly...
  478. [02:45] <TN> As Nadia attempts to hack through the monstrous girl, the darkness around her figure thickens, taking a menacing, sharp appearance, stretching out like appendages forth out of her 'chest', blocking out Nadia's attack with a loud clang--- as the monster prepares her bow for another barrange, the spikes brocking out the gravity...
  479. [02:45] <TN> Dozens upon dozens of shadowy arrows stretched through the bow's sling, aiming right at Nadia's face, ready to puncture the gravity girl into swiss cheese!! But seeing how the odd shadow blocked her blow, the adrenalin pumped girl immediately dodges away from the array as it gets unleashed at others, down on the snowy debris filled concrete....
  480. [02:45] <TN> While only one arrow grazes Kyrie who was standing at the back of the group [-1 Soak], and some of the arrows ricochet and hit Bernice in the distance... most of them start pounding the tall and proud defender, Amelia, who definitely was ready to sacrifice herself for the friend.... perhaps seeing Alexa regenerate her wounds made the girl too relax, less vigilant... a tiny lapse, but
  481. [02:45] <TN> at what price? Arrow upon arrow bounds her outfit's defenses, shattering the magical energy that was protecting her, only to slam, stab, pierce through her outfit, chest, legs, arms, one of them luckily ricocheting from her skull without instantly killing the girl! The paladin turns into a literal pin-cushion made out of dark arrows as her right, sword wielding arm gets severed, first at
  482. [02:45] <TN> her elbow and then off her shoulder by multiple projectiles, covering Alexa whom the girl was trying to defend in blood and gore, the severed bits of the limb hitting Alexa in her face

  485. [02:47] <Amelia-> For one moment Amelia totters, her uniform and small body covered in so many arrows she barely looks human anymore. Wisps of blue flame leak from her body, uncontrolled and useless. She can't even scream- the arrows punctured her lungs. Then she falls.
  486. [02:47] <TN> The shadowy projectiles stay put in the paladin's body for a couple of seconds, before poofing and vanishing into the night's air, leaving the snow underneath, behind, around stained in crimsom...

  495. [02:52] <Nadia> That sound, the seizing gasp of someone who had been stabbed. Nadia tried to make it a point to keep up her shonen appearances, but she recognized that the natural response to being mortally wounded wasn't an agonizing wail, but rather a stuttered gasp as your body desperately conserves its energy to hold on to every last bit of life. The sound of splitting flesh, a labored gasp, and of
  496. [02:52] <Nadia> a body hitting the floor are all too apparent to the girl's now-acute hearing. Despite herself, she has to glance back for a brief moment, and the sight of gore nearly sickens her. Two weeks. She'd been on the job for two weeks, probably transformed against her will and trying to do her best...

  562. [03:06] <Darcie> The snail girl begins to melt more into the floor, the bullets hissing as they riddle her form; Nadia would be able to see through her, now, before the newly created holes were quickly caulked up with the impenetrably dark ether. It seemed the only way the hunched figure was able to support itself now was with the aid of the shadows, the way the tentacles
  563. [03:06] <Darcie> pierced through sockets in her bloodied body pupetting her form. In vain she attempts to swivel from the second volley, but they catch her as well, causing the great shell on her back to break apart with a crack. Still... She stands. The flaps at her mouth move, stringy strands of fluid dripping from her mouth as she tries to address Nadia - but no
  564. [03:06] <Darcie> comprehensible words come out, only a drawn out moan.
  565. [03:06] <Jran-Kri_> ((No, we can rebuild her. We have the technology.))

  575. [03:08] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa isn't exactly sure how it happened. One second Amelia was there, standing over there, and then the next her red mantle was even redder, and warmer, and wetter. Amelia dropped, and there was something on her face -- it was hard for her to put the pieces together in the first instant. Then she begins to rise and she sees what fell on her.

  585. [03:13] <TN> The healing energy pours straight into the bleeding girl as panicking Alexa was trying to clog the excessive bleeding and... and whatever remained of shattered remains, flesh and bone, in the girl's shoulder! The quick surge of energy manages to form a thin layers of skin, growing increasingly over amputated and stabbed regions alike, stabilizing the girl just a tiny bit, but still
  586. [03:13] <TN> nowhere near to cover and stop the bleeding completely (+3 HP... Amelia's still in the negative)
  587. [03:13] <TN> Kyrie's turn!
  588. [03:14] * Bernice stops firing for a few moments and simply stares at the horrifically wounded girl and her crying friend. For once, she actually lets her emotions show on her face. Shock. Rage. She'd never had to watch a team-mate die before, their tactics had always been perfect. Their equipment, flawless. She'd fought so many enemies over the decades, but she'd never been in any real danger. How could she have let this happen?

On one hand, she could hinder it, make it's shots worse... but those two were in NO position to hold their own as it is. And she.... "Screw it, if nothing else I can take hits." she said with a slight wince, knowing full well this was an absolutly retarded idea as she stood in place to protect them from bolts now, despite how that ended for the last one. "Stabilize her

"Stabilize her
  592. [03:15] <MagicalKyrie> and get to some cover they won't be able to hit you two at!" Kyrie ordered to the two, pulling her headband-mask down over her eyes as she gritted her teeth. (Cover on... Alexa? If Amelia's still a valid target for the archer, her, but I'd like to cover both. Even if I know this means I'll take 3 attacks worth if the attacks rain down like that.)
  593. [03:15] <Amelia-> (oh god apologies in advance if I cause a TPK D:)

  599. [03:21] <TN> Kyrie stands her ground in front of shocked Alexa and the downed paladin, taking Amelia's place and trying to buy some time for the desperate healer who was trying her best 't regenerate her friend.
  600. [03:21] <Nadia> If she hadn't been as close as she was, Nadia would never have seen Darcie's desperate attempts to communicate. But she was. And she did. She hesitates slightly, memories of Ain's harem flashing through her mind. She knew the secret behind monster girls, but... No, she couldn't hesitate. This was a monster. Heroes killed monsters. The girl screws up her face as her blade bounces off of
  601. [03:21] <Nadia> the ooze's defense, and as she spins around, she hammers the blade forward in a wide vertical arc yet again, bringing it down with all the force of a guillotine. "I'm SORRY!" She screams an apology with her attack, the only condolence she can give to whatever person this thing had been before.

  635. [03:29] <Darcie> Nadia's oversized blade cleaves through the oozing scalp of the creature, splitting her brains and skull to make her eyes burst out of their sockets, much like how a snail would push their eyestalks forth, grayed flecks of her mind covering the metal. The weapon cleaves through her head, vertically, like butter but at the current state of her body, it seemed

  659. [03:35] <MagicalKyrie> (That's 12 fucking soak ._.)
  660. [03:35] <Bernice> (woah what??)
  661. [03:35] <MagicalKyrie> (unless I'm getting 8+1+2+1 mixed up)
  662. [03:35] <TN> Bright, burning flame enveloped the tip of the dark spike as it tried to ram through Nadia - only for it to be thwarted by a timely, well placed block!
  663. [03:35] <Bernice> (holy crap)
  664. [03:36] <MagicalKyrie> (Not sure how you had '14?' earlier but yea... jesus)
  665. [03:36] == LynniaSleep [[email protected]] has joined #MGChronicle
  666. [03:36] <MagicalKyrie> (Also she has regen. Which repairs soak.)
  667. [03:36] <Amelia-> Amelia gasps. "N-N..w-wait..." She reaches feebly for something that isn't there with shaking fingers.
  668. [03:36] <MagicalKyrie> (...Nadia is scary, ladies and gentlemen)
  669. [03:36] <MagicalKyrie> (do not piss her off by taking out rookie or otherwise mahou)
  670. [03:36] <Nadia> (Yeah she can stand still and eat damage for a while)
  671. [03:36] <Bernice> (unless you have soak-negating spells~)
  672. [03:36] <Amelia-> (Nadia protagonist, this is known)
  673. [03:36] <MagicalKyrie> (Or touching her little sister)
  674. [03:37] <MagicalKyrie> (Also she has high vit and determination (Because you get an additional uniform perk)
  675. [03:37] <MagicalKyrie> (Soak negating spells will still take forever to kill her)
  676. [03:37] <Bernice> (yeah)
  677. [03:37] <MagicalKyrie> (Especially since 9/10 times soak negating will only be 1 per success. And she has high mag.)
  678. [03:37] <Bernice> (Nadia a scary)
  679. [03:37] <TN> The spear's shape flickers several times as it starts to grow into a shadowy amalgamation, the burning glow shaping into two orbs, the large human-sized blob of mass flickering with distortions in air!
  680. [03:37] <TN> Bernice, go!
  681. [03:37] <MagicalKyrie> (Nadia the protagonist indeed ._.)
  682. [03:39] * Bernice finally snaps out of it and gets behind cover once again. She crosses her arms and begins to glow a strange turquoise colour. (Recharge)
  683. [03:39] <TN> Alexa!~
  684. [03:41] <TN> The magical energy of the Overcity streams down into Bernice as the ex-PMC tries to concentrate the oh so needed mana!
  685. [03:41] <TN> +3 Mana
  686. [03:41] <Nadia> (Sorry)
  687. [03:41] <Bernice> (quick question: do Soul Jars still exist when you're transformed, or do they sort of *merge* into your body like in Madoka?)
  688. [03:42] <MagicalKyrie> (In Madoka they are on your person too)
  689. [03:42] <TN> [^]
  690. [03:42] <Bernice> (even when you're transformed?)
  691. [03:42] <MagicalKyrie> (Just incorporated to outfit usually)
  692. [03:42] <Bernice> (oh yeah)
  693. [03:42] <Bernice> (sry, my bad, carry on)
  694. [03:42] <MagicalKyrie> (I.E. Madoka ones are like, the gem on your bow)
  695. [03:42] <MagicalKyrie> (Or hanging on your belt)
  696. [03:42] <Jran-Kri_> Alexa is barely even cognizant of Kyrie's helpful cover; all her attention is on Amelia, who has stubbornly refused to stop bleeding. She mutters under her breath as her staff continues to glow.
  697. [03:42] <Amelia-> (Amelia probably wishes she was a little less diet and a little more sayaka right now. xD)
  698. [03:42] <Jran-Kri_> "TheLordismercifulandgracious, slowtoanger..." (Physical Healing)
  699. [03:42] <Jran-Kri_> !ex 9 vs 7
  700. [03:42] <KekRoller> Jran-Kri_: [2, 10, 10, 6, 7, 3, 6, 10, 3]. Successes total: 7
  701. [03:46] <TN> ... catching up with her senses... sort of - the healer continues to channel the healing energy through Amelia's body, stopping the bleeding and thickening the skin over most grevious wounds, hiding the exposed shard of shoulder-bone under the tissue... At least Amelia wasn't bleeding! [+3 HP... Amelia's HP level's back into the positive, 1 HP]
  702. [03:46] <TN> Kyrie, go!
  703. [03:46] * MagicalKyrie blinks.... looking around, orbs? Spears? Something, but she couldn't tell... she stood defensively ready, as much as she still wanted to help more than standing as a potential wall to defend... if she didn't, the girls might get killed, as she clenched her gauntleted fist... Time to perhaps see if Agatha was right on how ridiculously durable a molecularly printed arm piece was. Hopefully not getting her arm broken or sev
  704. [03:47] <Bernice> (sev-)
  705. [03:48] <MagicalKyrie> Hopefully not getting her arm broken or severed before it would get broken... no, okay, that might be better, this was a gift. (Covering them still. Yes it's boring but I rather not have the 1 hp girl lose her other arm)
  706. [03:48] <TN> The girl stands her ground, maintaining her vigilance and control over the situation 'n self!
  707. [03:48] <TN> Nadia, go!
  708. [03:48] <Amelia-> (Hey, Amelia can try headbutting...)
  709. [03:49] <MagicalKyrie> (Do you want Alexa to cry over your headless corpse?)
  710. [03:49] <Amelia-> (Point.)
  711. [03:49] <MagicalKyrie> (And/or be reduced to ONLY a head?)
  712. [03:49] <Amelia-> [She'd be less Sayaka and more the Black Knight.]
  713. [03:49] <MagicalKyrie> (Just go into a fight, roll two 1's and lose both arm/legs)
  714. [03:50] <MagicalKyrie> (No that is not a challenge to do this now)
  715. [03:50] <Bernice> (does anyone have a Holy Hand-Grenade?)
  716. [03:51] <Amelia-> (kek)
  717. [03:51] <TN> [pffffft]
  718. [03:51] <TN> [/me creates a crusader character with a killing blow that uses HHG]
  719. [03:52] <Bernice> [DEUS VULT]
  720. [03:53] <Nadia> A... spear, now? Whatever, a target was still a target. She twirls her blade around so that the edge faces up, and in an exact reversal, the blade "falls" toward the ceiling, toward the spear. She grits her teeth and loudly grunts, twisting her body to accomodate the strange motion. (Heavy Handed, you know the drill.)
  721. [03:53] <TN> Roll it!
  722. [03:53] <Nadia> (2 Mana boost)
  723. [03:53] <Nadia> !ex 11 v 7
  724. [03:53] <KekRoller> Nadia: [7, 9, 7, 7, 6, 5, 7, 8, 3, 10, 10]. Successes total: 10
  725. [03:54] <Bernice> (Nadia: the mana boost system has been removed and replaced with the tier system in 1.1)
  726. [03:54] == Sirocca [[email protected]] has joined #MGChronicle
  727. [03:55] <Nadia> (Oh, sorry about that. How does that work?)
  728. [03:55] <MagicalKyrie> (Yup, no more mana boosting. Except reinforce which isn't properly put back into our list because it really needs a rework and every attempt I try to make to fix it I run into a dead end of "I don't know what the fuck to do for this"
  729. [03:55] <MagicalKyrie> (But basically: The spell lists SHOULD now
  730. [03:55] == RainMoth [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
  731. [03:55] <Nadia> (If I can ask quickly; I wasn't able to load up the 1.1 PDF so I've been just kind of assumign things worked as they did before.)
  732. [03:55] <MagicalKyrie> have higher costing spells/spells that have multiple mag req and higher mana cost
  733. [03:55] <Bernice> (some spells have tiers. They're basically separate spells, but with identical fluff, the only thing separating them being their intensity)
  734. [03:56] <Bernice> (so basically what Kyrie just said)
  735. [03:56] <MagicalKyrie> so as to use higher/stronger/etc effects)
  736. [03:56] <TN> !ex 12 v 7
  737. [03:56] <KekRoller> TN: [2, 6, 10, 9, 1, 10, 7, 9, 10, 9, 8, 6]. Successes total: 11
  738. [03:56] <MagicalKyrie> (...It's not fully implemented for every(read: Most any) trees)
  739. [03:56] <MagicalKyrie> (But yea)
  740. [03:56] <Nadia> (So literally the Heavy Handed I/II/III/IV/V string that I have in the WIP Berserker path?)
  741. [03:56] <Bernice> (but since Heavy-Handed doesn't have a tier system, TN's probably going to let it stay)
  742. [03:56] <MagicalKyrie> (Basically yes, actually)
  743. [03:56] <Bernice> (oh yeah, that)
  744. [03:56] <TN> Roll MAG, Nadia!
  745. [03:57] <Nadia> (Well, if Mana boosting is allowed, then 10 Successes.)
  746. [03:57] <MagicalKyrie> (The only 'issue' is taht said heavy handed path scales to 6, while most are 4 at VERY most)
  747. [03:57] <Nadia> (If it's not, then it's 9 v 7 since Heavy Handed II-V or whatever are locked behind the Berserker path and that isn't approved yet)
  748. [03:57] <MagicalKyrie> (But yea. In truth, Nadia's 18 mag is prolly enough to cast most any mana-tier increase that high anyway)
  749. [03:57] <Bernice> (ehh that's not a huge issue IMO. The Berserker tree is pretty limited otherwise)
  750. [03:59] <Nadia> !ex 9 v 7
  751. [03:59] <KekRoller> Nadia: [2, 4, 1, 6, 3, 4, 10, 8, 9]. Successes total: 4
  752. [04:00] <Nadia> (So 10 Successes or 4 depending on if we're allowing mana boosting right now. Either one works.)
  753. [04:00] <MagicalKyrie> (Basically, since both are lower than 11 :P)
  754. [04:01] <MagicalKyrie> (Also it is and I kinda do kinda don't like it's flavor)
  755. [04:01] <MagicalKyrie> (Since the berskerer tree's 'gimick' is that you actually DO NOT have a mag type attack to use.)
  756. [04:01] <MagicalKyrie> (You're limited strictly to the physical ones)
  757. [04:01] <Darcie> (Can you take this into main chat?)
  758. [04:02] <MagicalKyrie> (Eh, I dun go tmuch to say on it, will shut up, sorry for always making you mad Ain :x)
  759. [04:03] <Bernice> (g-guys, pls don't fight ;-;)
  760. [04:03] <Darcie> (I'm asking because of tablet scroll issues since my laptop is borked, continue discussion just in a different channel)
  761. [04:03] <MagicalKyrie> (We're not? :x I'm just a derp, anyway back to RP and stuffs)
  762. [04:04] <Bernice> (I would like to talk a bit more about this though. We need to get that Gravity tree approved and finalised. pls come to #MGCYOA Zip, I need your help~)
  763. [04:05] <Amelia-> (Guys, do you think we should finish this tomorrow?)
  764. [04:05] <Amelia-> (Seeing as uhhh it's pretty late and this seems like it won't have a neat happy ending)
  765. [04:07] == Darcie has changed nick to A-i
  766. [04:09] <TN> The gravity girl shifts the force around her, charging upwards towards the shadowy amalgamation of growing spikes, ready to cleave right through it.... but moment before she approaches it, the gravitational pull begins to fade as the creature flickers and twitches, two burning orbs appearing inches away from her face, the girl stopping mid-flight, "Y o u ' r e...", the girl could
  767. [04:09] <TN> feel the gravity around her fluctuate in a wave like fashion as the creature spoke in a deep, emotionless monotone... somewhat reminding her about her own patron and how it talked sometimes, sans the deeper voice and flame-like, orange orbs, ".... n e x t!" --- the gravity snaps, changing its momentum as the girl gets slammed back down against the floor, though not nearly as hard enough
  768. [04:09] <TN> for her to lose the footing [-1 Wound]
  769. [04:10] <TN> The large, smoking amalgamation swirling around itself and immediately propels itself straight down at Nadia.
  770. [04:10] <TN> !ex 12 v 7
  771. [04:10] <TN> Roll sunder/shield/luck!

  775. [04:11] <Nadia> (Shield)
  776. [04:11] <TN> RP the dodge out!
  777. [04:14] <Nadia> It... canceled her magic?! "Ah, shit!" The girl is ungracefully ripped to the side, violently thrown out of the way by a last minute magical dodge, the shadow falling just short of piercing her as she rolls. The girl tumbles for a few feet before springing back up to her feet. A hand immediately reaches down to grip up the blade that she'd dropped in the process.
  778. [04:16] <TN> The shadow beast misses the dodging girl, flying past her in an arc like trajectory, outside the jury rigged 'balcony', its burning orbs flickering, switching their attention between other girls, "S o m a n y.", its shape flickered in a distorted manner, the creature floating next to the second floor's, exploded ledge, close to Nadia, "A n d a l l s h e w a n t e d w a s t
  779. [04:16] <TN> o w a k e u p f r o m h e r n i g h t m a r e a n d p u t h e r w o r t h l e s s p e t o u t o f i t ' s m i s e r y."
  780. [04:16] <TN> Bernice, go!
  781. [04:18] <Bernice> Soothed by the magic of the Overcity gathering around her, Bernice smiles for the first time in months. She takes aim once again and resumes the fire patterns drilled into her long ago. (Focused Assault, Hollow Point)

  786. [04:18] <TN> [Also, yeah, if people feeling like pausing on this bit, we can do so... it's rather late for most of you]
  787. [04:18] <MagicalKyrie> (I'm a bit of a ridiculous derp, am fine with it being late... but yes the others it may not be fortunate at all to keep going)
  788. [04:19] <MagicalKyrie> (Though, Bern's attack should resolve minimally before we finish)
  789. [04:19] <Amelia-> [I can stick around if we're continuing]
  790. [04:19] <Amelia-> [though Amelia is kinda...not in a relevant state. xD]
  791. [04:19] <MagicalKyrie> (She's got 1 hp)
  792. [04:19] <MagicalKyrie> (She can be super loopy/'where is my arm')
  793. [04:20] <Nadia> Her facade cracks for a brief moment before she fires back. "If you're trying to make me feel bad..." Well, 'fires back' is a strong term. She did feel bad. Righting the wrong she'd committed apparently meant committing more wrongs... Was this worth it?

  805. [03:32] <Darcie> (This is IC now, it's pm but still canon while I type) A girl with short, fluffy faun colored hair pops up in Amelia's closed eyes when she blinks from the pain, small and no older looking than a ten year old in the same moment that the creature on the balcony died. Her lower half swirls outward like a traditional ghost. "Hi... ... I'm really sorry. I have
  806. [03:32] <Darcie> so much I want to say... But my time is over," she swallows, wiping at her eyes with a blue sleeve as she begins to cry. "I'm so sorry... The monsters, they made me... Can you please kill Trenza, I don't want to die alone,.. You won't come with me..! This time, I know..."
  807. [03:33] <Darcie> The last of her words are hazy, her form getting more transparent as her soul speaks to Amelia with the last of her power. She seems not to be able to communicate more, as, tear-stained, the darkness takes her form out of sight.
