  10. INTRODUCE YOUR KIDS
  11.  
  12. Magical☆Gurll
  13. BEAR WITH ME I'M AT WORK BUT HERE WE GO
  14.  
  15. Magical☆Gurll
  16. ugh i was doing doodles but never settled on anything entirely so you'll just have to bear with me BUT!!!! MY GIRL IS DAME KABIBE [LASTNAMEHERE], ten pounds of KNIGHTLY JUSTICE in a two pound bag reinforced with twenty pounds of iron
  17.  
  18. Magical☆Gurll
  19. she's this tiny little spitfire teenage knight girl in bulky bright armor with flowers in her hair and a big pink sword
  20.  
  21. Magical☆Gurll
  22. she's a rambunctious shoutgirl who literally, like, JUST got knighted and is VERY proud of the fact but is trying WAY TOO HARD to prove herself
  23.  
  24. Magical☆Gurll
  25. she has a very strong sense of justice and wants to Do The Right Thing but also she doesn't know how to turn it off or scale it back so she is constantly doing shit like running off to stop altercations that aren't even petty crime yet they just look like they COULD be, BUT SHE'S A KNIGHT SO IT'S HER RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE!!!
  26.  
  27. Magical☆Gurll
  28. running off is very hard, because her armor is very heavy
  29.  
  30. Magical☆Gurll
  31. but god it doesn't stop her
  32.  
  33. Magical☆Gurll
  34. she insists VERY STRONGLY on the "dame" title. SHE EARNED IT!! SHE'S A KNIGHT!!!!
  35.  
  36. Magical☆Gurll
  37. she's dedicated her whole life to her kingdom and to Knightly Justice so she takes the whole thing VERY SERIOUSLY except she's so rowdy about it that it's really easy to make fun of her for it...
  38.  
  39. Magical☆Gurll
  40. she has a little bit of flower magic of Dubious Origins but she doesn't actually have much control over it? it doesn't really cause problems it just means sometimes she's spontaneously surrounded by shoujo flower petals, or, like, an entire chrysanthemum sprouts out of her hair
  41.  
  42. Magical☆Gurll
  43. but mostly she is a physical tank
  44.  
  45. Magical☆Gurll
  46. and there you go there's my daughter
  47.  
  48. 天司長
  49. telfa, a collective of evil spirits bundled into a tattered old cloak. they form into a vaguely humanoid shape, but something is always distinctly Off about it no matter how hard they all try because not all of the spirits belonged to humans in the first place.
  50.  
  51. 天司長
  52. so like sometimes telfa will have a tail, sometimes they'll make the hands too big, sometimes they'll have 2 heads
  53.  
  54. 天司長
  55. the only constant is the cloak itself, which is long and made of shitty cheap leather.
  56.  
  57. Hard boiled egg
  58. Oh god I never finished brainstorming this one uh
  59.  
  60. 天司長
  61. their mission in life is to find who or whatever sewed their spirits all together and thank them for it, because with other evil spirits to empathize with, all of telfa's pieces feel a little better about this weird life they're living.
  62.  
  63. Magical☆Gurll
  64. DUO THAT'S SO WHOLESOME WHAT THE FUCK
  65.  
  66. Magical☆Gurll
  67.  
  68.  
  69. 天司長
  70. they're extremely reliant on magic for both offense and defense, and are completely useless in physical fights because they have no real form save the cloak.
  71.  
  72. Hard boiled egg
  73. Talfa Featherfoot is a halfling giant killer who like climbs on monsters with grappling hooks and shit. He is a big a macho tough guy in the halfling community but to everyone else he looks like a ten year old and has trouble getting anyone to take him seriously.
  74.  
  75. Hard boiled egg
  76. Still working on what his motivations are
  77.  
  78. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  79. i got distracted by crying about wowaka again but here's my girl
  80.  
  81. Hard boiled egg
  82. So I’m not looking at anyone else’s yet
  83.  
  84. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  85. her name is LYRA NOVA (disclaimer: this may not be her actual name) and she's a tiny little human girl whose most fervent wish is to BE A PERFORMER and she's been working hard since she was a lttle kid to be a good singer
  86.  
  87. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  88. the only problem is that uhhhh she has a bunch of magical prowess that she doesn't really know how to use and it all comes out whenever she sings
  89.  
  90. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  91. so she can't actually sing around other people or she'll put them in danger and she's pretty Bissed about it
  92.  
  93. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  94. currently she's on a Quest(tm) to find someone who can teach her how to properly use her magic so she can FINALLY JUST LIVE HER DREAMS
  95.  
  96. Magical☆Gurll
  97. SAME CAN'T-DO-MAGIC-RIGHT SMOLS HAT
  98.  
  99. Hard boiled egg
  100. Okay so
  101.  
  102. Hard boiled egg
  103. Talfa was from a hidden halfling village in the middle of a jungle somewhere
  104.  
  105. Hard boiled egg
  106. But at one point got sick and lost and found by pirates, who he ended up killing all of because he’s hardcore like that, only to realize that he had just gotten rid of everyone who knew how to get back to the village he came from and his own memories are too scrambled from being sick
  107.  
  108. Hard boiled egg
  109. So he is searching the big people world for someone who knows where he came from so he can get home
  110.  
  111. Hard boiled egg
  112. Bam
  113.  
  114. Hard boiled egg
  115. Wait shit now we have a Telfa and a Talfa how did that happen
  116.  
  117. 天司長
  118. LMFAO I WAS GGONNA SAY
  119.  
  120. Hard boiled egg
  121. I DIDNT LOOK AT ANYONE ELSES UNTIL I WAS DONE
  122.  
  123. Hard boiled egg
  124. Fuck it were running with it
  125.  
  126. Hard boiled egg
  127. Telfa and Talfa are canon
  128.  
  129. Hard boiled egg
  130. So so far we have two fighters and two mages
  131.  
  132. Magical☆Gurll
  133. 3/4 bitties and then the fourth is a dust cloud
  134.  
  135. Magical☆Gurll
  136. kabibe is more defense to tafla's offense it sounds like SO WE'RE IMPRESSIVELY BALANCED SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE
  137.  
  138. Magical☆Gurll
  139. i am going to fuck this tæfla situation up all the time
  140.  
  141. Hard boiled egg
  142. We’re probably not gonna get a healer
  143.  
  144. Hard boiled egg
  145. I should have played support
  146.  
  147. Magical☆Gurll
  148. we have three more coming THERE'S STILL HOPE
  149.  
  150. Hard boiled egg
  151. Anyways I picture Talfa as looking like a Monster Hunter character just at one half scale
  152.  
  153. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  154. i stayed up until 4 am waiting for this before passing out i just want you to know bc i am exccited
  155.  
  156. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  157. BUT OKAY HERE I GO
  158.  
  159. Hard boiled egg
  160. (Talfa insists he's the right size. Not his fault y'all are giants)
  161.  
  162. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  163. let me tell you about Onyx, Nightshade, Rubedo, Princess and Hero Thrice-Great, or as she would introduce herself, a maid what knifed a dude in his sleep and is now on the run.
  164.  
  165. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  166. onyx is the name she chose for herself so we're using that.
  167.  
  168. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  169. there was an evil overlord! a master of alchemy and dark magics, to the point where he had a whole prophecy devoted to him, that a hero chosen by fate would arise and slay him. onyx is not that hero.
  170.  
  171. Magical☆Gurll
  172. y'all are so chaotic and stab-happy kabibe is never going to rest
  173.  
  174. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  175. onyx was a servant homunculus he made who was kind of defective in that she gained free will and sentience purely on accident. the homunculi who were created to serve the evil overlord were more meant to be like, maids. they were basically magical roombas.
  176.  
  177. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  178. onyx gaining self-awareness was almost entirely accidental because she was a failed experiment. she took some time, realized that she was alive, realized that the evil overlord who made her was in fact evil, causing massive amounts of suffering and horrible shit, so she just. knifed the evil overlord while he was asleep.
  179.  
  180. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  181. just stabbed that fucker.
  182.  
  183. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  184. prophecies ain't shit.
  185.  
  186. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  187. so now she is on the run from:
  188. - the evil people who happily served evil overlord, who want revenge
  189. - the good people who were oppressed by the evil overlord, who have decided that killing him makes her his heir, so she's their princess now
  190. - a very, very irate legendary her who had literally the purpose of their existence kill-stolen from them.
  191.  
  192. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  193. hero*
  194.  
  195. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  196. - also possibly a vengeful ghost of an evil overlord, i'm undecided on that part.
  197.  
  198. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  199. onyx is basically a good girl who is trying her best. she just wants to live peacefully! she wants a boring, mundane life! unfortunately, all these people are after her so now she's adventuring to avoid staying in one place and also to get stronger to defend herself from all of the above.
  200.  
  201. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  202. SHE'S NOT CHAOTIC AND WON'T KNIFE PEOPLE WHO DON'T DESERVE IT OK
  203.  
  204. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  205. she's a good girl who tends to talk in very short, to-the-point clips and wants to make the world better for everyone
  206.  
  207. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  208. (she wants boring mundane life and to make the world better, it's a complicated problem)
  209.  
  210. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  211. her party role is mage. she is basically a blue mage and able to copy other magics she sees because she's basically an adorable reactor of magical energy bc she's an experimental homunculus whose organs are philosopher's stones
  212.  
  213. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  214. she's just a very. direct person. very literal minded. if you put her in a maze and tell her to find the way out she will break down all the walls.
  215.  
  216. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  217. ANYWAY IM GONNA READ EVERYONE ELSE NOW
  218.  
  219. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  220. what the fuck this party is gonna be cute...
  221.  
  222. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  223. onyx is just gonna follow everyone around like 'friends? friends! hello friends i am friend beep beep'
  224.  
  225. Hard boiled egg
  226. Tafla probably fell in with this particular lot because they're all tiny
  227.  
  228. Hard boiled egg
  229. And I mean he's 3'5 BUT he doesn't feel QUITE as surrounded by giants
  230.  
  231. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  232. yeah onyx is. small? but still human sized.
  233.  
  234. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  235. https://imgs.plurk.com/Qww/GNI/ERUbGMPbH17zSkXtoR4hWwoNoXE_lg.png also very cute.
  236.  
  237. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  238. she's like, 5'0-5'1
  239.  
  240. Hard boiled egg
  241. Right but he could choose between this party and the party of like 6'6" beefy barbarians and half orcs
  242.  
  243. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  244. rip in pieces talfa
  245.  
  246. Hard boiled egg
  247. As the saying goes, all trees are felled at ground level
  248.  
  249. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  250. please don't attack the party's knees
  251.  
  252. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  253. telfa doesn't even have knees, probably
  254.  
  255. Hard boiled egg
  256. No no he's not going to hamstring anyone in OUR party
  257.  
  258. Magical☆Gurll
  259. that's really cute. this group of shorties and talfa like yeah that'll do
  260.  
  261. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  262. does telfa ever like
  263.  
  264. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  265. make themselves shorter to be closer to talfa's height to make him more comfortable
  266.  
  267. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  268. imagine all these tiny idiots being super protective of telfa because they have no physical body
  269.  
  270. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  271. so everyone else takes it upon themselves to get rowdy on their behalf
  272.  
  273. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  274. YES
  275.  
  276. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  277. onyx is uh. not strong. physically she looks like you could snap her in half if you look at her too hard.
  278.  
  279. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  280. but she can still get rowdy with magic.
  281.  
  282. Hard boiled egg
  283. she may not be strong but she does have a physical body
  284.  
  285. Magical☆Gurll
  286. THAT'S SO CUTE!!!
  287.  
  288. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  289. she does! it's sort of a weird body but it's physical and it even exists and touches things
  290.  
  291. Magical☆Gurll
  292. oh i wanted to get her general gist out of the way first but the additional Kabibe Lore includes: she has a twin brother! she does not talk to or about him. he did what she considers a crime and she's disowned him for it. he lives in the woods now
  293.  
  294. Magical☆Gurll
  295. also she has some divine forest guardian spirit in her direct lineage, hence the uncontrolled flower magic, but she has absolutely no fucking idea about that. she is to her knowledge a normal human girl who is bad at magic
  296.  
  297. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  298. oh my goodness...
  299.  
  300. Hard boiled egg
  301. what horrible crime did her brother commit?
  302.  
  303. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  304. it occurs to me onyx and her blue mage self might be able to like. tell that kabibe has that ancestry. but she also would never say so because she assumes everyone else knows too so why bother talking about it?
  305.  
  306. Magical☆Gurll
  307. I HAVEN'T DECIDED THE SPECIFICS but honestly it was probably just something, like, lowkey shady at worst he did while in the process of uncovering their origins (hence why he lives in the woods now) and she went too hard on the Justice thing and blew the whole thing way out of proportion and it became a goddamn ISSUE!!!
  308.  
  309. Magical☆Gurll
  310. so he's out there in the woods trying to awaken an ancient forest spirit while she's running around in the city like justice justice justice justice on all cylinders
  311.  
  312. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  313. i love her
  314.  
  315. Hard boiled egg
  316. Talfa acts super confident and blustery to hide the fact that he is low key not sure if his home even exists or if he just hallucinated the whole thing and is wandering around in some kind of dissociative fugue
  317.  
  318. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  319. oh no....
  320.  
  321. Magical☆Gurll
  322. AW BUDDY
  323.  
  324. Magical☆Gurll
  325. the potential, like, story endgame tie in here is that if anyone is going to know what the hap is fuckening in various woods and jungles and tree places when you have hilariously little to go on, it's going to be an ancient forest guardian spirit
  326.  
  327. Hard boiled egg
  328. truth
  329.  
  330. Magical☆Gurll
  331. also before i forget, her brother's name is bwana because it means "gentleman" and kabibe means "little lady"
  332.  
  333. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  334. that's cute
  335.  
  336. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  337. also im going back to bed but i think onyx's backstory can probably tie into others easily if y'all want to, since. evil overlord, etc.
  338.  
  339. Magical☆Gurll
  340. go sleep!!
  341.  
  342. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  343. IM GONNA but i love this concept and this group and this is gonna be fun to put together i think ok
  344.  
  345. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  346. ok goodnight
  347.  
  348. Echo
  349. I am super late to this, but presenting: my perpetually unconscious wizard girl, Sleepwalker.
  350.  
  351. Echo
  352. She was originally a young woman cursed with your standard Sleeping Beauty "rest forever in unchanging sleep until freed by true love's kiss" trouble by an asshole magical rival in order to take her place as a local mage's apprentice, but she had one very lucky trick: she was a lucid dreamer.
  353.  
  354. 天司長
  355. unfortunately telfa doesn't like getting their cloak dirty so they remain at least tall enough for the cloak to be off the ground
  356.  
  357. 天司長
  358. but if someone carried the ends like a train or tied it off at a height that would let them shrink to match talfa they would.
  359.  
  360. Echo
  361. She managed to cobble together enough of her meager training to allow herself to begin practicing magic while still locked in her dream, and eventually managed to escape by essentially astral-projecting herself out and then using magic to puppet around her own unconscious body in order to interact with the physical world.
  362.  
  363. Echo
  364. Walker refuses to reveal her actual name, on the grounds that it might be used against her.
  365.  
  366. 天司長
  367. they're extremely protective of the cloak because they're not sure if their bond will be damaged if the cloak is, so they do absolutely everything they can to keep it intact.
  368.  
  369. 天司長
  370. this makes them Extremely good at sewing.
  371.  
  372. Echo
  373. Now she wanders the world as an adventurer, taking advantage of her curse making her body unchangingly durable in order to travel to dangerous places in search of a cure.
  374.  
  375. Echo
  376. She's cranky, bitter, smarter than most people and annoyingly aware of it, and low-key perpetually dissociating because in order to actually do anything she kind of literally isn't inside her own body most of the time?
  377.  
  378. Echo
  379. But deep down, she still cares a lot about people.
  380.  
  381. Echo
  382. She's the kind of person who will, if she sees someone in trouble, help them while grumbling about how annoying it is the whole time, despite the fact that no one actually made her help them.
  383.  
  384. Echo
  385. She's going to do the right thing, but you can't make her be cheery about it.
  386.  
  387. Echo
  388. Due to the "unchanging" aspect of her curse, she heals rapidly from anything that would physically alter her, but also can't do things like cut her hair or change her clothing.
  389.  
  390. Magical☆Gurll
  391. this is all VERY GOOD
  392.  
  393. Magical☆Gurll
  394. here's my concept for you and it's kabibe running in to JUSTICE JUSTICE JUSTICE and walker going in after her and she's very mad and complaining about it the whole time but like, she's still gonna justice justice justice with her
  395.  
  396. Magical☆Gurll
  397. while kabibe yells at her for complaining, and also about JUSTICE. shoutgirl
  398.  
  399. Echo
  400. Excellent idea, yes. : D
  401.  
  402. Echo
  403. Walker probably hangs around Kabibe precisely because she provides a valid excuse for her to do Nice Things without looking like the kind of pathetic softy who, ugh, cares about people.
  404.  
  405. Echo
  406. (Wizards have kind of shitty academic politics, looking soft is not a good idea.)
  407.  
  408. Echo
  409. The end result is that you have a young woman with her eyes shut all the time, moving like a puppet with half its' strings cut instead of a person, wandering relentlessly through a dungeon in her pajamas while a sourceless voice that sounds like it could be her original one swears about it constantly.
  410.  
  411. Echo
  412. She's been wearing these fucking pajamas for like five years.
  413.  
  414. Magical☆Gurll
  415. JHFKLS;HDFHG
  416.  
  417. Echo
  418. They're cute and comfy, but she didn't imagine she was going to be stuck in eternal stasis when she went to bed that night, okay. She thought she was going to wake up again.
  419.  
  420. Echo
  421. (She would really like to wake up again.)
  422.  
  423. Echo
  424. She... might also be slightly on the run from her original wizard college, because the apprentice rival who cursed her convinced people that Walker was some kind of possessing spirit instead of the original owner of the body in question, in order to cover up his crime.
  425.  
  426. Magical☆Gurll
  427. the number of you folks on the run from people is absolutely MADDENING to kabibe who definitely, at least at the start, assumes that being On The Run only happens to OUTLAWS who are BEING PURSUED!!!!
  428.  
  429. Echo
  430. Well, sometimes you get mistaken for someone who did something super illegal, or technically for a demon that doesn't actually have legal rights in this jurisdiction.
  431.  
  432. Echo
  433. But it's not like she actually broke any laws, personally.
  434.  
  435. Echo
  436. She's going to get this shit cleared up, just you watch.
  437.  
  438. Echo
  439. (Walker is too cranky and brutally honest to talk her way out of a fucking parking ticket let alone a complicated framejob, please help her.)
  440.  
  441. Magical☆Gurll
  442. give kabibe some time to get over her constant state of THE LAW THE LAW THE LAW THE LAW so she quits assuming that IF AUTHORITIES THINK YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL THEN THEY ARE CORRECT and she will be an expert at Justice-ing her way to the truth
  443.  
  444. Magical☆Gurll
  445. but also if issued a parking ticket she would just start crying
  446.  
  447. BB ❤ Chᥲᥒᥒᥱᥣ!
  448. also i have way too many OCverses currently so i am 100% happy for you guys to take this and go running w/o me
  449.  
  450. big woop
  451. Slams in here late I'd like you all to meet Oudra Quartzheart, dwarf and Definitely Not A Demonologist
  452.

  454. oh good we have a dwarf
  455.  
  456. Hard boiled egg
  457. I ALMOST made a dwarf but changed my mind
  458.  
  459. Hard boiled egg
  460. But every good party needs a dwarf
  461.  
  462. Magical☆Gurll
  463. EVERYONE IS SHORT!!!
  464.  
  465. Magical☆Gurll
  466. except the dust cloud
  467.  
  468. big woop
  469. She's 4'2" of niche occult lore and dyslexia and she flunked out of wizard college, fell back on delving to get her parents off her back, and promptly ended up on a work crew that Delved To Deep
  470.  
  471. Magical☆Gurll
  472. also reaches longingly for claire..........
  473.  
  474. big woop
  475. This was very embarrassing for everyone involved because technically the fiend she ran into was also a young adult fuckup and not supposed to be there, so since Oudra was the only one to actually see him he bribed her with Power to keep her mouth shut.
  476.  
  477. big woop
  478. So now she just Has Magic? That she's very cagey about where it comes from? But also, like, she's not actually upset about because she didn't really want to be a miner in the first place.
  479.  
  480. Echo
  481. I think Walker might be reasonably tall.
  482.  
  483. Echo
  484. So her job, in addition to being a spellcaster/tank hybrid, is to get things off high shelves.
  485.  
  486. big woop
  487. She's kind of working with what Ashweird the Conflagragant thinks is a useful set of spells so like, there's a fair amount of Unquenchable Fire and commanding minor demons in there, but she still claims she's a self-taught wizard if anyone asks.
  488.  
  489. Echo
  490. I feel like Walker can definitely tell she's bullshitting about that because hello, she actually went to wizard college for a couple semesters before someone did the magical equivalent of cutting her break lines to steal her internship and then had to teach herself the rest.
  491.  
  492. Echo
  493. She knows what a self-taught wizard looks like and this definitely is not that.
  494.  
  495. Echo
  496. ...But she probably also doesn't care, so eh. She can stay in her lane, fuck it.
  497.  
  498. Hard boiled egg
  499. Talfa doesn't NEED help getting things off the high shelves he has a GRAPPLING HOOK
  500.  
  501. Echo
  502. She doesn't say anything about it, but she definitely gives Oudra some "really, that's what you're going with" looks.
  503.  
  504. Echo
  505. Also, awesome. Less work for Walker.
  506.  
  507. Hard boiled egg
  508. Party having breakfast. Talfa sitting crosslegged on top of the fridge with a bowl of cereal or whatever
  509.  
  510. Hard boiled egg
  511. They probably don't have refrigerators in a fantasy setting
  512.  
  513. Hard boiled egg
  514. Unless we just go full on TAZ levels of "Fuck it"
  515.  
  516. Hard boiled egg
  517. But you know what I mean
  518.  
  519. big woop
  520. That is in fact what Oudra is going for and also she's a little impressed that Walker can manage that withering of a look with her eyes closed
  521.  
  522. Echo
  523. She's had a lot of time to practice.
  524.  
  525. Echo
  526. Like, she had at least a couple years of being essentially unconscious plus five more years of piloting her body, there's a lot of build-up salt she needed to express.
  527.  
  528. Echo
  529. (It's mostly in the eyebrows.)
  530.  
  531. Echo
  532. (Eyebrows are the key to any really serious facial expression.)
  533.  
  534. big woop
  535. Anyway Oudra is generally kind of paranoid of other people but simultaneously a little too cavalier around potentially risky magical situations, which honestly is probably why she's hanging around like half of the rest of you yahoos in the first place.
  536.  
  537. Magical☆Gurll
  538. you YAHOOS
  539.  
  540. Magical☆Gurll
  541. that's the mood
  542.  
  543. Magical☆Gurll
  544. anyway kabibe needs help with the high shelves but makes SURE everyone knows it's because of her ARMOR not her HEIGHT!!!!
  545.  
  546. Magical☆Gurll
  547. high shelves used to be her brother's job and now if anyone else teases her about it she gets Mad
  548.  
  549. Echo
  550. Walker just wants this conversation to be over with as quickly as possible, so she just hands Kabibe the thing like 'here I believe you please shut up'.
  551.  
  552. Magical☆Gurll
  553. hf;LKHDFGH
  554.  
  555. Magical☆Gurll
  556. the first time she gets ready to get REALLY INDIGNANT ABOUT IT and walker just gives her the thing without issue and she's like
  557.  
  558. Magical☆Gurll
  559. oh.
  560.  
  561. Magical☆Gurll
  562. thanks.
  563.  
  564. Magical☆Gurll
  565. and it is the longest she has been quiet in her entire life
  566.  
  567. Magical☆Gurll
  568. but it feels wrong
  569.  
  570. Echo
  571. It was nice while it lasted.
  572.  
  573. Echo
  574. Also. You know how I specifically said Walker's curse had a "true love's kiss" requirement as its' cure?
  575.  
  576. Echo
  577. Fun fact: Walker is aro ace.
  578.  
  579. Echo
  580. Unfun fact: this has given her an unfair reputation for being a "frigid bitch" at the college she came from, a term here defined as "a fellow student who was more interested in getting this group project done than being hit on, asshole".
  581.  
  582. Echo
  583. Her rival deliberately chose a curse with this requirement because of her reputation, because he's a spiteful asshole and figured she'd never be able to break it.
  584.  
  585. Echo
  586. Additional fun fact: neither Walker not the asshole rival student in question are aware that true friendship is also a kind of love, and counts perfectly well for the purpose of the curse.
  587.  
  588. big woop
  589. She's very Jaded, World-Weary Punk and also very into the creative beard-grooming scene (because what kind of weak-ass worldbuilding doesn't give dwarf women full beards)
  590.  
  591. Echo
  592. Oh, fuck yeah. Does she dye her beard awesome colors?
  593.  
  594. Magical☆Gurll
  595. THAT'S STRONG, ECHO
  596.  
  597. Echo
  598. I suspect the "kiss" requirement is also slightly looser than they realized, too- it's really any unambiguous physical demonstration of the love in question.
  599.  
  600. Echo
  601. What I'm saying is: please imagine the party eventually reaching true companions status, and managing to accidentally cure Walker of her curse via a post-battle group hug.
  602.  
  603. big woop
  604. Of course she does. She's pretty particular about coordinating her beard dye with her wardrobe, too.
  605.  
  606. Echo
  607. (She has never been simultaneously this happy and this embarrassed in her life.)
  608.  
  609. Magical☆Gurll
  610. POWERFUL!!!!!
  611.  
  612. Magical☆Gurll
  613. let kabibe put flowers in the beard pls
  614.  
  615. big woop
  616. Oudra grumbles but she Allows It
  617.  
  618. Magical☆Gurll
  619. this is going to be a Thing kabibe just keeps sprouting flowers from her hair and she's running out of room and would the rest of you mind holding onto them for her but holding onto means braiding them in hair, making flower crowns, and so on
  620.  
  621. big woop
  622. (no actually she loves it it's just she has an image to maintain)
  623.  
  624. big woop
  625. ((that image is not being successfully maintained))
  626.  
  627. Magical☆Gurll
  628. THAT'S SO WHOLESOME!!!!!
  629.  
  630. 天司長
  631. kabibe trying to figure out where telfa's head is for a flower crown and giving up because telfa doesn't feel like having a head today so she just puts it around the neck of the cloak. done
  632.  
  633. Magical☆Gurll
  634. kabibe also has an image to maintain and that is JUSTICE JUSTICE JUSTICE KNIGHTHOOD so she can't do childish things like braiding flowers in her friends' hair!!! even if it would be cute and wholesome and really pretty.......... there's absolutely this phase where she's tsun about giving people flowers but she warms up to it fast enough
  635.  
  636. Echo
  637. Please consider: Walker and Oudra lowkey bonding over "goddammit we were trying to seem cool and intimidating how do they keep being sweet and fluffy at us".
  638.  
  639. Magical☆Gurll
  640. DUO THAT'S PURE
  641.  
  642. Magical☆Gurll
  643. politely asking permission to pin a flower to the cloak like a corsage
  644.  
  645. big woop
  646. Also she's sorry Kabibe but she kind of summoned an imp to help her decipher the inscription on this magical artifact we found and the imp... ate the flower...
  647.  
  648. Magical☆Gurll
  649. mkl;HDFGHFJG
  650.  
  651. Magical☆Gurll
  652. the problem is not the imp eating the flower the problem is the imp trying to go for the infinite flower works all over kabibe's hair and sword and armor
  653.  
  654. Magical☆Gurll
  655. she's just like semi-constantly sprouting flowers she's not TOO concerned about them getting eaten, those are replaceable, it's whatever, buT GET OUT OF HER HAIR???
  656.  
  657. Magical☆Gurll
  658. in general though kabibe wants to be KNIGHTLY and RESPECTED but she is, in fact, just a kid, so she turns around to being sweet and fluffy without a ton of provocation... she just needs to get over the JUSTICE JUSTICE JUSTICE THE LAW THE LAW THE LAW hurdle enough to quit thinking you guys are shady for no good reason???
  659.  
  660. Magical☆Gurll
  661. this is a real good look as the group gets closer because they storm into the big final endgame fights looking like a fuckin bouquet
  662.  
  663. big woop
  664. Oudra sighs and tries to pull the imp off of Kabibe long enough to dismiss it
  665.  
  666. Magical☆Gurll
  667. tries to
  668.  
  669. Magical☆Gurll
  670. i'm definitely picturing her with, like, big huge poofy hair so it's this whole goddamn situation
  671.  
  672. big woop
  673. Technically she could banish it without grabbing it but they tend to leave a little puff of sulfurous smoke when they leave and she doesn't think Kabibe would appreciate that in her hair
  674.  
  675. Magical☆Gurll
  676. SHE WOULD NOT BUT SHE ALSO DOESN'T APPRECIATE THE IMP IN IT EITHER!!!!
  677.  
  678. big woop
  679. She's sorry ok she didn't expect it to like eating flowers that much
  680.  
  681. Echo
  682. Consider: the imp likes the flowers because it thinks eating them can change its' color, and they eventually dissuade it by using some of Oudra's spare beard dye to turn it pink.
  683.  
  684. Echo
  685. It just wants to be pretty.
  686.  
  687. Magical☆Gurll
  688. OH... WHOLESOME
  689.  
  690. Magical☆Gurll
  691. i guess we're keeping thatone
  692.  
  693. Magical☆Gurll
  694. thta one
  695.  
  696. Magical☆Gurll
  697. thta one
  698.  
  699. Magical☆Gurll
  700. THAT ONE!!!
  701.  
  702. big woop
  703. Anyway Oudra uses imps as kind of living text-to-speech engines on complex magical writings a lot because as previously implied, it was mostly her dyslexia that kept her out of traditional arcane academia
  704.  
  705. Magical☆Gurll
  706. ahhh that's good content
  707.  
  708. Echo
  709. That is really cool.
  710.  
  711. Echo
  712. Consider: one of their friendship moments involves Walker offhandedly mentioning that she's seen mage academia, and frankly Oudra can do better than those people.
  713.  
  714. big woop
  715. Excellent
  716.  
  717. Echo
  718. Let's see, some additional things about Walker...
  719.  
  720. Echo
  721. She's got a penchant for using lots of ice magic, because if you want to call her frigid, she'll show you frigid.
  722.  
  723. big woop
  724. Like, I'm not sure if dyslexia is a formally recognized thing by this world's medical community, but wizarding is hard when the words don't want to line up right
  725.  
  726. Echo
  727. Really, the curse situation was the latest in a long series of her using things that people tried to hurt her with to her advantage by sheer stubbornness.
  728.  
  729. Echo
  730. And yeah, that makes sense. Walker's... probably some kind of wizard barbarian crossclass situation mechanically, because puppeting her own body at one remove makes her a little clumsier than she'd like, so that combined with her curse-stasis body and lack of major combat training at the start means she tends to battering ram her way through things.
  731.  
  732. Magical☆Gurll
  733. i think my long-term forest spirit guardian whatever story goal for kabibe is to give her MORE PLANT FEATURES. she's always just grown flowers in her hair and various flourishes but then she's sprouting leaves out her elbows and suddenly she cuts herself and there's tree sap in the blood and there's bark real slowly growing over her skin
  734.  
  735. Magical☆Gurll
  736. i don't like body horror so i'm not gonna focus on that aspect of it but god am i here for the aesthetic of it
  737.  
  738. Magical☆Gurll
  739. secret slowburn dryad girl
  740.  
  741. Echo
  742. She'd be a lot more wizard and a lot less barbarian if it weren't for the fact that the clumsiness in question makes it harder for her to cast spells, albeit not impossible.
  743.  
  744. Echo
  745. So she and Oudra have kind of opposite problems, magic-wise.
  746.  
  747. Echo
  748. Also, I am extremely here for slowburn dryad, that sounds awesome.
  749.  
  750. Magical☆Gurll
  751. not gonna lean too hard into body horror but this is also decidedly NOT FUN while she's still under the impression that she's a normal human girl who can't do magic right
  752.  
  753. Echo
  754. I'm imagining Kabibe all "OH GOD AM I DYING" and Walker like "don't be ridiculous, you're not dying" [frantically researches whatever this is because WHAT THE FUCK SHE NEEDS TO FIX THAT]
  755.  
  756. Magical☆Gurll
  757. JNFKL;HGSDHFG
  758.  
  759. big woop
  760. Oudra does kind of feel like she cheated her way into magic, and I think getting closer to the rest of the party probably helps her get past that baggage
  761.  
  762. Magical☆Gurll
  763. "OKAY THEN WHAT AM I DOING IF I'M NOT DYING WALKER?? WHAT'S HAPPENING????" "listen. don't worry about it" "WALKER!!!!!!"
  764.  
  765. Echo
  766. (extremely rapid page-turning) "LISTEN IT'S DEFINITELY NOT PLAGUE. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PLAGUE, STOP YELLING."
  767.  
  768. Magical☆Gurll
  769. "YOU CAN DIE FROM THINGS THAT AREN'T PLAGUE, WALKER"
  770.  
  771. Echo
  772. "NOT WHILE I'M FIXING IT, YOU WON'T!"
  773.  
  774. Echo
  775. Hard boiled egg: Also, I just read back through this and did you basically make Halfling Zeetha?
  776.  
  777. Echo
  778. Because if so, nice.
  779.  
  780. Magical☆Gurll
  781. combat-wise i def want to focus on her being a physical tank especially since we're so mage-heavy but i imagine she gets a little more in the way of plant magic as the story goes on?? my ideal use for this would be protecting the party with a big dome of tree roots
  782.  
  783. Magical☆Gurll
  784. also Fire Bad
  785.  
  786. big woop
  787. "You're way too loud to actually be dying," Oudra says, helpfully.
  788.  
  789. Echo
  790. I think Walker switches from "tank with some magic" to "mage with some tank skills" after being uncursed.
  791.  
  792. Echo
  793. Like, without the curse keeping her body Eternal And Unchanged she's much more of a squishy wizard, but she's learned a lot about fighting in the meantime and channeling her seething personal anger into hitting people.
  794.  
  795. Echo
  796. So periodically enemies get up close to her and get the fun surprise of the soft spellcaster beating them unconscious with her staff.
  797.  
  798. Hard boiled egg
  799. It basically is Zeetha's backstory yeah...........
  800.  
  801. Echo
  802. I mean, if it works.
  803.  
  804. Magical☆Gurll
  805. LMFAO HER BEATING ENEMIES UNCONSCIOUS WITH HER STAFF IS SO GOOD

  818.  
  819. Echo
  820. "You know, that's actually linguistically fascinating- I SEE YOU BACK THERE, GHOUL, DIE- and I would be very interested in comparing notes on the subject- YOU KNOW THESE WORDS ALREADY, KABIBE, FUCKING COPE- once we've finished this little distraction."

  842. Talfa's big "gag" as it were
  843.  
  844. Echo
  845. sdfgh, perfect. Yes, she knows she needs to work on curses, being cursed is her whole problem. ("Fucking cope" is basically Walker's life motto, at this point.)
  846.  
  847. Hard boiled egg
  848. Is that if he were human he would just be a super big tough and cool guy with a kind of tragic story
  849.  
  850. big woop
  851. Consider: Oudra starts swearing in diabolic so Kabibe won't yell at her about it. This does not actually accomplish anything because 90% of the language sounds rude anyway.
  852.  
  853. Hard boiled egg
  854. Like he's Guts from Berserk
  855.  
  856. Hard boiled egg
  857. But at 3'6"
  858.  
  859. Echo
  860. Pfft, amazing.

  883. Magical☆Gurll
  884. kabibe putting flower crowns on him becomes a big problem

  887. So the party's base of operations is a boat.

  905. So they can just sail everywhere.
  906.  
  907. Magical☆Gurll
  908. PARTY BOAT PARTY BOAT PARTY BOAT!!!
  909.  
  910. Hard boiled egg
  911. He rips the first flower crown off in annoyance but then Kabibe looks so crestfallen that he can't bring himself to do it ever again no matter what she does

  914. OH NOOOOOO
  915.  
  916. Magical☆Gurll

  919. Hard boiled egg
  920. We are the most wholesome party
  921.  
  922. Echo
  923. Maybe they can compromise by pinning a single flower to his lapel or something, like a dashing corsage.
  924.  
  925. Hard boiled egg
  926. People DO generally start to take him a bit more seriously once he scales an orc and breaks its nose with his forehead
  927.

  929. Get that classy gentleman look.
  930.

  940. Hard boiled egg
  941. swinging around on ropes to get at hard to reach weak points
  942.  
  943. Magical☆Gurll
  944. he rips it off and she is SO HURT but she's like NO IT'S FINE...I WAS BEING CHILDISH......IT'S OKAY.......... so he's gotta like pick up a shed flower off the ground and suffer the indignity of putting it on his damn self so she can decide putting flowers on him is acceptable again
  945.  
  946. Magical☆Gurll
  947. THAT WAS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT AOT SO GOOD
  948.  
  949. Hard boiled egg
  950. RIGHT?
  951.  
  952. Hard boiled egg
  953. THE FIGHT SCENES WERE SO GODDAMN COOL IT'S A SHAME ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE
  954.  
  955. Echo
  956. I mean, what are OCs for if not swiping the cool shit that actual series didn't use to full potential.
  957.  
  958. Echo
  959. Also, upon reflection, the reason Walker isn't using her real name is probably in order to avoid being tracked down by the wizard college people who think she's a demon or something.

  1019. Also I figure that at some suitably dramatic point Oudra psychs herself up to go ask Ashweird for some further boon to help with some quest - probably without telling Kabibe, because knightgirl would flip her shit
  1020.  
  1021. Hard boiled egg

  1084. Magical☆Gurll
  1085. kabibe spends a very long time trying so hard to be Dignified but once like they're all buddy buddy and she's figured out the dryad situation they definitely have to fuckin fish her out of the water at least once

  1311.  
  1312. Magical☆Gurll
  1313. this is especially strong if we get this info from the forest guardian imo if only because the forest guardian is the reason for kabibe is the reason for the specific name sunflower and sunfLOWER IS HOME

  1350.  
  1351. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1352. she'll protest at first that she's not nightshade she's not poison she just wanted to help people
  1353.  
  1354. Magical☆Gurll
  1355. and on the other side of the battlefield kabibe takes a deep breath

  1664. kabibe is definitely SUPER DISTRESSED over the dryad thing as it first comes up because, like, she had no IDEA, she is some kind of DIVINE GUARDIAN, does her BROTHER KNOW ABOUT THIS WHERE IS HER BROTHER IS THIS WHY HE FLED TO THE WOODS, SHE'S A WEIRD MONSTER TREE PERSON OF AN ANCIENT LINEAGE WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS
  1665.  
  1666. Magical☆Gurll
  1667. but then the party is so eager to braid her flowers in their hair and wear chains of them and pin them on themselves and name their ship and home after them and. nothing could be more reassuring

  1701.  
  1702. 天司長
  1703. well...telfa isn't human but they don't need to sleep either, so they can talk to ivy (quietly) while everyone else is sleeping

  1706. friends,
  1707.  
  1708. Echo
  1709. ...please consider: Ivy and Walker end up being friends at first because they're able to easily interact with each other due to their respective spiritual states, which they can't normally do. Then, after her curse is broken, Ivy's worried that Walker won't bother talking to her anymore.
  1710.  
  1711. Echo
  1712. The next day Walker lets slip that she's been deliberately studying necromancy spells that let you talk to ghosts.

  1721. OK I should sort out levels of existence for ivy
  1722.

  1724. I think she has, like, a limited but replenishing supply of ghost energy from the doll
  1725.  
  1726. Quinn
  1727. and can use it to do things like
  1728.  
  1729. Quinn
  1730. be seen, be heard, interact with physical objects
  1731.  
  1732. Quinn
  1733. or burn it hard to do Ghost Magic
  1734.  
  1735. Quinn
  1736. magically attuned types like spirits or demons can see/hear her even in her full spectral state, as can human mage types with training
  1737.  
  1738. Quinn
  1739. so she could braid flowers into her hair, but once her juice ran out they fall out
  1740.  
  1741. Echo
  1742. That makes sense.
  1743.  
  1744. Echo

  1746.  
  1747. big woop
  1748. Oudra takes a few days to figure out the trick of seeing Ivy, which frustrates her to no end. Like, in the meantime she can summon a lesser demon as an interpreter but that's not enough
  1749.  
  1750. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1751. onyx can see ivy from the start and doesn't realize others can't probably
  1752.  
  1753. big woop

  1755.

  1757. GHOST FLOWER
  1758.

  1781. what if each of the above ghost skills - becoming visible, becoming audible, interacting with objects -
  1782.  
  1783. Quinn
  1784. are like. things she has to learn separately
  1785.  
  1786. Echo
  1787. Seems reasonable.
  1788.  
  1789. Quinn
  1790. so there's a whole period where she has to play ghost charades
  1791.  
  1792. big woop
  1793. Yeah, burning them makes sense, Oudra uses quite a bit of fire in her magic anyway
  1794.  
  1795. Echo
  1796. Walker probably accidentally teaches Ivy a couple rude gestures in the charades period.
  1797.  
  1798. Echo
  1799. Also, I think it's cool that we have Walker using ice and Oudra using fire a lot. It's a fun contrast.
  1800.  
  1801. Quinn
  1802. gestures have changed in the last 200 years
  1803.  
  1804. Magical☆Gurll
  1805. ok ok i had to wake t the train station let's catch up
  1806.  
  1807. Magical☆Gurll
  1808. anyway i don't know that kabibe would have that breakdown all at once or just like that but that's THE SHAPE OF IT, ANYWAY
  1809.  
  1810. Magical☆Gurll
  1811. also nowhere will give me the same pronunciation twice and none of those pronunciations are in the name's actual language of origin so i guess you pronounce kabibe however you want
  1812.  
  1813. Magical☆Gurll
  1814. listen to what your heart says
  1815.  
  1816. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ

  1827.

  1829. so she's mimicking magic
  1830.  
  1831. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1832. but also gestures and words
  1833.  
  1834. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1835. like, trying to piece together an identity for herself by mimicking others
  1836.  
  1837. Magical☆Gurll
  1838. kah-beeb is how i was saying it in my head
  1839.  
  1840. Magical☆Gurll
  1841. kah-bye-b is popular and there is the occasional flabébé rhyme
  1842.

  1844. also i wanna say
  1845.  
  1846. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1847. onyx's internal structure is A Bit Weird
  1848.  
  1849. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1850. externally she seems human, if like... frail, thin, waif-y
  1851.  
  1852. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1853. but that's because her organs are like, vestigial and half-stone, and her nervous system has clusters of Philosopher's Stone throughout
  1854.

  1856. which is how she's a magical powerhouse
  1857.  
  1858. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1859. honestly when she bleeds it may be like, the wrong shade of red, because it's Philosopher's Stone and blood mixed
  1860.  
  1861. Magical☆Gurll
  1862. ...when kabibe starts just fucking bleeding tree sap is onyx just like OOOHHH SAME HAT
  1863.

  1865. YES
  1866.  
  1867. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1868. onyx is really, really bad at like. emoting? her face just doesn't move right because she was never meant to have emotions in general
  1869.  
  1870. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1871. so she's just going to be like
  1872.  
  1873. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1874. GRIPS KABIBE'S HANDS
  1875.

  1882. Magical☆Gurll
  1883. kabibe: im dying i am going to die here what's happening to me what do i do
  1884. onyx, this close to cutting her own finger open to show off her blood: SAME HAT!!!!!!
  1885.  
  1886. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1887. she probably just expresses emotions by copying the rest of the party like
  1888.  
  1889. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1890. sprouts flowers when happy. her clothes do the telfa cloak movements when she's mad. etc.
  1891.

  1893. ALSO THAT'S SO PURE YES
  1894.  
  1895. Magical☆Gurll
  1896. kabibe doesn't even flower sprout when she's happy it just HAPPENS so it's cute to have onyx out here seeing them and being like joy??? JOY!!!!!!

  1899. YES
  1900.  
  1901. ꜰᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
  1902. also i figure she's got like. gemstone themes? bc her name and like. she probably knows all about magical properties of gemstones so she'll just like. give people random gems that have good properties
  1903.

  1905. you are sad, have a citrine
  1906.

  1929. she wants to be closer to everyone
  1930.  
  1931. Magical☆Gurll
  1932. also kabibe isn't scared of open bodies of water necessarily but like thinks she is because she doesn't know how else to interpret the instinct to get back on dry land where she can put roots down because she doesn't know she has roots??? and really water isn't the problem. fire is a problem

  2047. I love imagining this from Kevan's perspective because it's like... you're a squishy wizard, you cursed this woman into eternal slumber and you assume she's out of the way, and instead she just gets so mad that she drags herself out of her own body, starts puppetting it around, and comes back with like nine weirdos to personally fistfight you.

  2209. Real talk with her whole "deal with a fiend" thing Oudra is probably one of the most legitimately shady ones, she just. Has managed to keep her situation on the DL enough that she's not actively being sought by any authorities.
  2210.  
  2211. Magical☆Gurll
  2212. anyway now that i'm at a computer: i think probably the gang has to win kabibe over before she is willing to put flowers on them because DIGNITY and she is a MATURE KNIGHT who will only let herself be soft and childish and vulnerable around people who make her feel safe enough that she feel like she can be those things without them thinking less of her
  2213.  
  2214. Magical☆Gurll
  2215. but that's an earlygame problem for people with a plot
