Carefully making your way down the hill, the sound of a heated argument could be heard before the sight of the flags come into view. As you get closer you realize that “the flags” were more like “a flag” with small crowd sitting by arguing, Argenta being among a few familiar faces that you could recognize.

Cautiously making your way closer, you try to make sense of their debacle.

“-got swallowed up for this!”

“-make me fight you for it!”

“Everyone let’s just stop, and settle down.”

Many more things were yelled, screamed, and shouted; even a few weird insults you’ve hadn’t heard were uttered. If they kept this up, they’ll attract more than just Grimm in these woods. You can just feel your grip tighten around Hexenbessen, as well as a few unwarranted gazes from the foliage far behind you.

“I bet we can take the flag while they’re arguing.” One of you teammates states, “At the rate they’re getting to know each other, they’ll be here for a while.”

“Hana!”

You run out to her, but the Chinchou sparks at you. It looks more scared than anything.

The Seel all whip their heads towards the danger, and your pokemon are looking too. Keira’s Nincada climbs to the top of her head.

Hana, with a hurt and stunned look on her face, falls over onto the sand. Her torso, head, and normal arm flail but ultimately can’t help her keep her balance.

Keira takes an unsure step towards Hana. Then another. Chinchou hasn’t noticed her yet.

>Run over to Hana right now, disregard Chinchou
>Try to knock out Chinchou. Don’t take any chances with it
>Stay back, let Keira handle it
>Go run to the fishing shack for help
>Something else

My fiery daughter glares at Kelly, who growls at her.
But neither of them say a word.
Well at least I know where Iris is now

What do I do?
[] Ask Iris why we're stopping
[] Tell Galina to calm down
[] Ask Kelly if she needs something
[] Comfort Maya
[] Yawn and go back to sleep
[] take my daughters outside to see what's in my fortress' way

You don’t know what Ken looks like when the mask goes away, and don't care. Also still no closer to knowing why ‘Lightning Bug’ makes jokes about the alma mater of Daidouji Kaya when this comes up. Seems that Bug doesn’t know that those are two different Daidouji families. Still shares the joke just not with you.

Oh, well.

Your ‘work’ pager vibrates, telling you that it’s Irene, or that somebody has gone mad and used the pager they stole off your sister.

TWO people, at most three, other than Irene know the number. And of those you know have the number, you can name them and the number of times they’ve used it. Dad’s investor-cum-foreign-negotiator friend David never called it after the first two tests, trusting that the phone company would have your cell working in a week of the proposed negotiation closing date.

The Higharolla used it once, because he didn’t actually believe that you had a pager and knew how to use it. You surprised him a second time that day, only unlike the blackjack and poker wins no luck was involved.

And if a third person in the whole of this floating city knows the number, then they have never used it.

Still, the news is nothin’ unexpected. Just another meeting to talk about the family business and how the Higharolla’s kids keep hitting on her. (A thing for which you will ever be grateful, because you’d never be able to keep from laughing at the brother and sister duo’s really bad pickup lines.)

You don’t get to share as much as you’d like during these meetings, but at least Irene knows you have something to do with the stranger incidents and the stopping thereof.

Even with your raised position, no, especially because of it, you can't get her clearance unless she also awakened. Your father would probably never get clearance, even if he could radically reshape the world.

Unfortunately for your plans to coast on until the meeting, the brain tank alarm sounds, telling you that your two main thinkers and form forwarders have found a problem they feel 75% confident will both fail and have horrible consequences if you don’t show up.

You're pretty sure they're taking advantage of Colonel’s hospital stay to send you out for minor stuff, but the reduction in paperwork keeps you sane enough to not particularly care.

In this case the alarm is a call to:
>make it look like the statue of CaTaffy hasn’t been ‘stolen’ with your Morpheus based Mech-making. A temporary replacement is all that’s needed, but like you’re going to miss this chance.
>report for a checkup to see how going from Angel Halo-Solaris to Angel Halo-Ouroboros might be messing with your mind. You like to think you’re still fine, and adapting well, but as policy says must happen.
>’Hunter’ Yoon-sil has her sword to necks, and she wants you there or heads will roll. Really, your sword is faster, hotter, and more smartly used.

>>1197332
>report for a checkup to see how going from Angel Halo-Solaris to Angel Halo-Ouroboros might be messing with your mind. You like to think you’re still fine, and adapting well, but as policy says must happen.

Acquiring and Improving Spells & Skills:
1) Study, research, explore, train or take classes to discover and learn new spells.
2) Training an already learned spell or skill will raise it further to the next tier once enough [Progress Points] are accumulated.
4) The progress threshold is based on the Fibonacci sequence (1,2,3,5,8,...)
>Usually Spell and Skill tiers are named as Basic => Intermediate => Advanced => Expert => Master
>Alternatively you can label the tiers as T1, T2, T3 and so on.

Spellcrafting:
Spellcrafting involves fusing spells with various skills, knowledge and even other spells that your character has learned together creating a new spell or skill.
>The name of the resulting new spell will be determined by the QM. By default it will be "Cast A B C..."
>Your dice roll will affect the result of the spellcrafting. Lower rolls will result in weaker or negative version of the intended spell and vice versa.

Social Interactions:
1) Role playing with other players is a free action. Role playing with NPCs, however, will cost an action point to do so.
2) Collaborative Player-to-Player actions like trading, tutoring and PvP, will cost an action point to do so.

Combat:
1) Post 2 actions like you normally would. Your opponent will roll their own 2 actions.
2) To defeat your opponent, you must overcome their defensive or evasion roll with your attack roll and vice versa.
>If you have not rolled an evasion or defensive roll then your opponent must pass normal DC to hit you and vice versa.
>If both combatants attacked successfully then it's a Double KO.
>If both combatants defended successfully then it's a Stalemate.

"Well, I find you unworthy to even partake in the trial!" The bound soul challenges, swiping the blade dramatically. "Only a true warrior can take the test and you must prove your worth. The lair of a mighty beast is nearby and it has annoyed me greatly for the past few decades... blasted thing..." He mutters about, clearing what's left of his throat.

"Slay the beast and bring me its heart, then we'll see if you'll be worthy to take my test..."

“Stop, you’re coming with me.” He gives you a look of confusion before he accedes to your demand. “As you say, no reason to have trouble,” he says. You don’t know how you’re going to move the unconscious one, though. Sresh are head and shoulders taller than you and no doubt are twice your weight. You flick coms, “Vasquez, I know it’s not your shift yet but I need bodies down here to move bodies.” Your visor flashes an affirmative light.

Two of Vasquez’s men come down within minutes. With the help of the manager, they move him with ease. There isn’t quite a brig yet but there are some broom closets in the comms center that would do nicely. It takes a bit of effort not to laugh after remembering that he went down stiff as a board.

When you arrive back at the center, you have them leave the unconscious one in the closet and bar the door. You take the manager into a side room and ask him, “Tell me what that was about.”

He doesn’t move more than breathing, he remains passive. “He unrightfully claimed that he wasn’t being paid his wage and demanded more money. I told him that he should stop spending it on grorcha. The exchange continued until he pulled out his knife. It was an uncoordinated and brash move, which he paid for.” You were there, that sresh’s anger was almost out of control. “Why’d you ruffle through his pockets?” You ask.

“He’d lost the right to have it after what he did. His pay is now a reparation for attacking me.” You’ve got the manager’s PDA and you start to look through it for pay history. While you’re doing that, you radio for some of your men to ask questions about the cheat and the manager. The questions mostly focus on previous incidents, history, and what in god’s name grorcha is.

You know what to look for with these finance reports. Your father had you looking through them for inconsistencies since you were 12. It takes a little time to notice it, but when you do it screams at you. The manager has been skimming off of everyone’s pay. Only a little, but it’s added up over the years. No one would notice if they never got a hold of the files.

Reports from you men are starting to come in, confirming much of what the manager’s said. The cheat’s been rambling for months about how he’s being stolen from. Most of the time he was intoxicated. Turns out that grorcha is a powerful and addictive numbing agent. He’d caused public disturbances in the middle of the sleeping period.

But what to do with them? You’re sure the manager still has money that he’d be willing to pay and keep paying. Or you could expose him to the workers who’d want a word with him. Though the cheat could definitely be disposed of quietly.

It is morning. Due to the excitement of last night, you find yourself alone in bed. Ben slept near the door, wearing his armor with his father's sword nearby, in case anything should happen. Alex tended to Kaylessa with spells of healing and prayers of recovery while Merriam and Faye worked together to get things cleaned up. When it was all done, everyone was far too tired and slept in individual beds.

The first thing that crosses your mind when you awaken is a rather simple thought with a complex implication: 'Tonight is the night.'

You have agreed to attend a sabbath. The local hags invited you, as they apparently share an enemy with you: Mordrax. They will not be the only group in attendance, as apparently a number of dark practitioners will be involved, all to decide who shall rule as the next Witch Queen. Tonight, you are to head southwest of Francis' tower and find a circle of stones where you will meet the hags.

Closing your eyes again, you rub your head. You've already got something of a headache from these last two days and tonight isn't shaping up to be much better. But you'd best get ready -- in one way or another, you'll have to deal with these hags. They know who you are, and as the list of people who know the truth about you grows, the uneasier you get. Already bounty hunters, paladins and a chunk of the general populace are searching for you, so it would be in your best interest to confront them and get them on your side, or possibly eliminate them.

First thing's first, you'll have to determine if you'll be going there alone or not. Best to check on your companions and see what state they are in.

Kaito spends the better part of an hour explaining the situation to Ryan, who remains quiet for most of the time. He sits upon his coral throne passively, occasionally tapping his fingers on its arms, all the while listening to the explanation. Johnny spends most of this time leaning up against the cavern wall as small glowing lights circle the ceiling, illuminating the chamber. As Kaito goes in-depth, Ryan listens intently, his face obscured by the diving helm he wears. The only sign of his continued attention comes from the occasional nod of his head.

"So, that brings us to here," Kaito finally finishes. He waits for a response from Ryan, and when none comes, he looks over at Johnny, who shrugs. Kaito asks the strange man, "Is there anything you wanted to know? Or..."

Then, Ryan speaks. "Two things. One: How long have you had the orb now?"

Kaito's eyes drift off to one side. "A while now. It was thought that we could use it to spy on our enemies."

"I see." He doesn't say anything more on that point. "Two: did you talk about this, your plan to come see me, outside of this cave? This cave where I can keep Aegis from listening to us?"

Kaito blinks a few times. "Yes... to Johnny."

Ryan brings a hand up to his mask's face and rubs it across the viewing window like one would do so to their own face. "Fantastic. Then Aegis knows we're coming, so the element of surprise is lost."

"I hadn't considered that," Kaito replies. "Johnny had just lost his family and---"

"Stop, please, I know. I don't really care about that."

Johnny steps off the wall. "Excuse me?"

Kaito holds up a hand. "Don't. He doesn't care about individuals, he cares about the whole."

"I'm here, you know," Ryan says, somewhat annoyed. "I can speak for myself."

Johnny gently pushes Kaito's hand down. "Then why don't you? You've been doing a lot of listening but I don't see you trying to help us."

Before Kaito can protest, Ryan stands up from his throne. Rather than addressing Johnny's point directly, he instead replies, "I'm going to add a third question to my first two: why do you think I'll let you time travel?"

>Why wouldn't you?
>If we pull this off, you'd owe me, and this would make us even.

We can't appeal to any emotional side, because as far as Ryan is concerned, the Tekunin uprising is just a natural part of the cycle for this dimension, even if all this bullshit was caused by Havik AGAIN.

Twice now that reality is forced to break, and both times feature Havik as a major instigator. Fuck him.

Get a motorcycle and drive somewhere.

Smoke some weed with your sharp edgy claws, because it's completely against the law but you don't care. Then a policeman sees you. All you make is having direct eye contact with him, and you cut him with your sharp linesight, but have compassion for the poor guy since you know your power is too much to control easily, something you do because of the edge.

Then you throw your edgy 20 meters japanese sword to the air and ride it like Tao Pai Pai while fighting against helicopters and leaving explosions behind. Everything stands in your way but you dispatch it all EASILY. And... then grab your motorcycle, which howls to the night as a motherfucking dragon. Because dragons are edgy. Prepare for a long ride, you tell to yourself, because there is nothing more edge than talking to yourself because you find it unnecessary to involve in social relationships.
