magical girl mini event 2

[soulping]

You find yourself on top of a building. There's no goodies, no sign of even the echo themselves, but the rooftop is a tiny greenspace complete with flowering bushes, a tiny pond, and a few cooing pigeons. It's a miniature garden overlooking a busy city.

Below you, the streets are packed with cars jammed in stop-and-go traffic. People throng the sidewalks as they walk to and fro, talking on their cell phones, looking at their watches, hurrying to catch a bus or train. Adjacent to you are yet more buildings, some towering far into the sky and decked with giant tv screens mounted to their sides. Blaring lights and music and moving pictures pierce the quiet of the cool twilight sky.

Take a moment to appreciate the peaceful modern life around you.


[ OOC: Welcome to your mingle! It will last an hour. While you're waiting for the game to start, you might want to be thinking on what you'd like your character's magical girl to look like and start building them up: you can use any of the following doll makers like this one, this one, or this one to start planning.

[ GASP ]

There's so many people!

[ it's been a really long time since hel's allowed herself to be in a big city like this. 10 years? 20? 30? she's excited, and it shows. ]

[ OOC:
just as a refreshing for hiyori's AU appearance:
1. no tail
2. she registers as a GOD now!! and a powerful one at that. who rules over death, entropy, etc). normal humans may not even realize she's there until addressed
3. her left eye is BRIGHT gold (like, blazing) in color, the right a normal dark, dark brown
4. she's wearing traditional folk clothing, crown included (left image) - but now it's covered in cyan ink, silver spray paint, and also blood stains. oops.
5. she's wearing a leather glove on her left hand, and from the appearance of her sleeve, it seems to extend up well past her elbow (there's literally nothing but bone underneath that glove from fingertip to elbow)
6. Her dark hair is in braids like pictured ]

[robitussin]

You think this is part of the experiment?

[experiencepoints]

[immediately getting as far away from the crowds as possible!

... which is hard when you look like. . With a white scaley tail sticking out the back.]

[withmyownfists]

[ somehow you remind her of another mortal she met not all that long ago?

...

tentatively puts her hand on your sleeve ]

Are you alright?

[showyouthesight]

[Considering that this Rin has never seen a car in his life, yeah he's going to be taking that moment. Or you know, jumping backward in panicked shock.]

[withmyownfists]

[ well let's just say you jump straight back into her ]

Eeyeek!

[ dooown she goes ]

[secor]

( it has been an incredibly long time since he's been in a big city, but he's not so excited. it's more annoying than anything, looking at all the people cramped shoulder to shoulder as they rush around as if there was anywhere that important that they needed to be.

with an annoyed sighed, he glances around. )

The city's such a waste.

( AU information:
1.) physically around 20.
2.) wears an outfit like this.
3.) still pings as he did before, as he's still a shinki. although does ping as much much more powerful. )

[withmyownfists]

It's not so bad, is it?

ROUND ONE

[soulping]

Star, so light
Star, so bright,
First star I see tonight--

Wait. Is that diamond really in the sky? Or is it lower? Down, down, down it comes, falling faster and faster, an arc of light that stops barely before you. A glowing sphere rings in symbols and flashing between an unsettled rainbow floats, suspended in the air, level to your faces.

A voice asks:
"Please—make a wish!"

It would seem to be coming from the orb of light.




[OOC Instructions:]
As a group, please make a group turn in for the following items
1. Your group's wish
2. One symbol (from the following list):
3. One color (from the following list):

pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, white

PLEASE NOTE: The turn in for your group's WISH is IN CHARACTER. The other two items are OOC KNOWLEDGE only.

You have thirty minutes to complete this task and make turn-in, but completing it earlier will mean more time for later stages!]

Re: ROUND ONE

[secor]

A wish. . .?

How ironic.

Re: ROUND ONE

[showyouthesight]

[Looking around him]

A djinn?

Re: ROUND ONE

[experiencepoints]

... I wish to return to where I was taken from.

[withmyownfists]

[ poking at the light with her left hand ]

Are you a god, too?

[ you're not... pinging... like a god... ]

TURN IN

[soulping]

ROUND TWO

[soulping]

I have been searching for you. This world needs your help! Invaders from another realm, called 'Reapers,' have come to steal the most precious thing this world has to offer. Only you, with your pure hearts, have the power to stop them--by becoming a mahou shoujo!

In return for your help, I'll grant your wish. Will you accept your duty and save this planet?





[ OOC Instructions ]

Please discuss and / or make a turn in for your group accepting / declining the offer; optimally you should take no more than 20 minutes for this stage, and again, the faster it's done the more time for the (actually) fun parts!

Re: ROUND TWO

[experiencepoints]

[looks at her staff...]

I... fear you have made a mistake.

Re: ROUND TWO

[secor]

What.

( what. )

Re: ROUND TWO

[overfull]

[ the fuck

she just. sighs. if her heart or mind were impure she wouldn't be where she is today, even if she has no idea what a mahou shoujo is. ]

Very well.

Re: ROUND TWO

[showyouthesight]

And what is most precious to this strange land?

TURN IN 1

[soulping]

ROUND THREE

[soulping]

The Emissary of Light suddenly starts running around in small circles. "I can feel it! A disturbance. The reapers have arrived; they're all over town already. There's no time to lose; we have to find and eliminate them!"

In both directions, left and right, you can hear the sound of people shouting and horns blaring at a suddenly different frequency. Which way will you go?


IMMEDIATE DESCRIPTION:
[ To your left is what appears to be a post office. To your right, a grocery store. Behind the building you stand upon is another, smaller building, but from this angle you can't tell what it is. Directly across the street from you is a large, imposing building and next to it a large lot that appears to be a bus depot. Further down that street to right there are a series of small businesses. From here, you can't tell where the most commotion is. Better go investigate! ]

[ OOC INSTRUCTIONS ]

Freeform play! This stage will last 50 minutes.

The goal in this stage is to explore town either independently or in small groups defeating reapers as you go along. Your characters have super speed, strength, agility, and yes, jumping powers, as befits any magical girl! (And depending on what power or costume you chose, perhaps they can even fly/glide, pass through objects, etc.) Feel free to take creative license and go go go! ]

Re: ROUND THREE

[showyouthesight]

[I don't know what the hell any of these things are... Let's go check out the commerce district. How shall we travel? Well, we did make a GIANT SHARK FAMILIAR by accident so uh... shark surfing?

Not entirely voluntary.]

Re: ROUND THREE

[robitussin]

[jumping down to get a look at the smaller building that she can't identify]

ROUND FOUR BOOOOSSSUUU FAIIITTTOOO

[soulping]

Suddenly, wherever you are or whatever you were doing, The Emissary of Light exclaims, "I can sense a very large disturbance! It's this way, hurry!!" You yourself actually feel a strange pull, too.

Once you have all managed to regroup, the Emissary of Light leads you to the front of a bakery. It looks like the shop was in the process of closing when it came under attack--not from an enemy, but from robbers... who are now also under attack.

"Why, good evening, doves," an elegant woman with a mysterious smile says. "I've been expecting you. Or someone like you. If you don't mind, I'll just finish taking out this trash, and then we can talk." She begins to advance, one hand held out in front of her, a reaper to either side.

"Please! No!" One of the masked men says.

"Save us!" The other man says.

[ what will you do? ]

Re: ROUND FOUR BOOOOSSSUUU FAIIITTTOOO

[withmyownfists]

Don't you touch them!

[ hel swings her scythe, and a cloud of of darkness spills from the blade, spreading in front of the robbers--trapping them in place, but shielding them from harm ]

You're an effrontery to nature!

ENDGAME

[soulping]

Congratulations! You've all done very well.

[ the Emissary begins to glow and reverts to a ball of light, much bigger than before ]

This world thanks you for your heroic efforts.

[ it then begins to roll around on the ground, creating a giant, glowing emblem ]

Step on this portal and you'll be taken home, just as you wished!

[ and probably straight into real endgame, lbr ]
