“She’s going to get herself in trouble,” Midori Mori says from beside you.

~Maybe, if she keeps hounding this investigation,~ you reason, ~but she said she’s focusing on the Red Eyed Beast next, and I’m pretty sure all she’ll find on that topic are dead ends,~

“Not what I meant,” Midori sighs with a wry chuckle, “Mark my words, someone she doesn’t know is going to try to talk to her and only hilarity and tragedy can possibly follow,”

Oh…

~Midori,~ you scold, ~that’s mean,~

What have you done? Both to Umeki-san and the poor soul who takes such initiative...

“Oh no, I was mean,” she rolls her eyes and drawls sarcastically before returning to her agreed upon task of brushing out your hair, “How terrible,”

She is probably right though.

“So, I managed to reschedule your appointment with Akiyama-san to tomorrow morning,” she explains as she places the brush back in your hand and ducks back into your house to assemble her things and finish restoring her appearance as you follow long enough to make sure you have everything you need for the day.

~Thanks for that,~ you groan as yesterday and everything your did catches up with you.

After helping Umeki-san out with her wardrobe crisis, you and Midori also got changed and ready for whatever the remaining half of the day would have in store.

“Any plans for this afternoon?” your Jadeite Knight inquires as she applies a light lipstick for the remaining Thursday ahead.

>Collect the others, claim that tree and picnic
>Relax, as yourself. You need a breather. Want to hang out?
>Relax, as someone else. Who?
>Gonna throw Umeki-san off The Beast’s tail
>See if I can talk to Koito Kino when school gets out
>Prepare infiltration, call Kalunite
>Deal with boys.
>More sleep
>Write in

>>44948185
>Go visit Sasha. Offer job.

>>44948185
>Collect the others, claim that tree and picnic

Also make plans to meet Kino. We need to interact with him at some point.

You've got 6 basic kinds of card -

Land - These are your resources.
Creature - Used to attack the other player or block other creatures
Enchantment - Used to alter the conditions of the game or a creature
Instants - Spells that can be played any time
Sorceries - Stronger spells that can only be played on your turn
Artifacts - Like creatures or enchantments

Other player has 20 life, goal is to get them to 0.

Watch Force's Friday Night Magic or something similar on Youtube. Totalbiscuit did an okay explanation vid.

Anything specific you want to know?

No way I can do it in a paragraph but I'm getting a friend into magic so it would be good to type this up for them.

The game is about using mana to cast spells. There are 5 colours of mana: red, blue, green, black and white. To get mana you need lands. You can have as many basic lands (lands that don't have any special effects) as you want in your deck, each correlates to a colour: swamps are black, mountains are red, islands are blue, forests are green and plains are white. You can play one land per turn. To get mana from the land, you 'tap' it, which is where you turn it sideways 90 degrees. Tapping a basic land gives you one mana of the type it correlates to. You can't tap something when it is already tapped, so most of the time you can only tap land once per turn. To play a card you need to pay its mana cost indicated in the top right. It will show you how much mana you need of each colour, and often there is a number in a grey circle; this represents generic mana, which you can pay with any kind of mana. To play it, first you tap the amount of mana you need and then play the card.

>>44948507
Turn order is as follows:

Draw phase: draw one card

Untap phase: untap all your tapped cards

Upkeep: certain card effects happen here

Main phase 1: you can play any cards you have in hand as long as you have enough mana to cast them and they have legal targets if they are instants or sorceries (covered later)

Combat: You may declare an attack with any number of creatures but must do so all at the same time. When a creature attacks, tap it. Tapped creatures can't attack. After you declare the attacking creatures your opponent decides what creatures of theirs blocks your creatures. Tapped creatures can't block. They deal damage to each others toughness equal to their power. If toughness is 0 or less the creature is destroyed. Unlike Yugioh combat damage does NOT normally carry over, it is dealt only to the creature. If the attack is unblocked the opponent takes damage equal to the unblocked creature's power.

Main Phase 2: as main phase 1

End phase: discard cards from your hand until you have 7 cards (the maximum hand size).

When I described my character, the DM thought of her as "the childhood friend" and basically already decided she was his waifu. When it came to actually playing, there was a paladin to took the role of party face and kinda fell into the "main hero role" in terms of the plot. So I just had fun supporting the paladin, playing comic relief (whether I intended to or not), and sucked up to everyone. Granted, my bard was much more of a good guy than LaFou. She actually was adventuring to support her family.

A basic medkit of course!

Treats anything from a minor scrape to getting your eye gouged out.

Anyways, it really depends on where my character is. I am less likely to need certain things in a city over a desert or dungeon.

Now this is the usual delay

With a straight and orderly posture, you walk the halls of the Bikel Manor, lantern-light flickering upon red velvets and woods through glass cages. Your only clearance as Belinda being that your head held is held high, shoulders back, and the expression you carry that is just stern enough to disarm someone with a sudden smile.
You pass by many Danhor guards this way as their eyes chase after your beauty. In short order, you arrive at Mira's door and give her a swift series of knocks.

The girl asks who it is at first, and you repeat the series of knocks.

“It'd be better to explain in person, no?” Belinda's voice says within as the threads of her being intermingle with your own.

“There's going to be some explaining to do either way. She at least knows that I'm an imposter.” You return.

There's a jostle from the lock of the door, and the knob turns with a capricious click. Slowly, the door cracks open and the girl meekly peers out, her horns getting in the way of her discretion and her slit-like eyes truly something a near terror to behold. “Who are you, woman? You dare disturb Mira of the Reaper's band?”

“Oh my goodness, Sol! She is adorable!” Belinda snickers inside as the two of you lean over to come down to her level. “Mira~ It's me.”

“Who?” She raises a shaded eyebrow, staring back with dawning confusion.

You look around to confirm that no one else is present and then lean back in, cupping a hand over your mouth for a whisper, “I changed faces.”
Mira's visible eye goes wide, dumbfounded as she throws open the door, “You're a girl now?!” She yells a little too loudly as you jump in to cover her mouth.

“Shh, shh. Not too loud, remember it's kind of a secret?” She nods calmly within your grasp and you gently let go.

>>44946865
She peers around herself and steps to the side to invite you inside. Shutting the door behind you and locking it, she looks you up and down as she returns back into her normal form. “You're so...” Mira starts, her face slowly turning red, “Pretty...”

You hold a hand tenderly forward, to offer a handshake in greeting, “Belinda.” She takes your hand and you curtsy, “T'is a pleasure to meet you, and you're a flower of the garden yourself my dear.”

Mira looks down bashfully, fumbling a little to return a curtsy. “Th-thank you... Belinda...”

With a smile bright as Sol, the girl's mesmerized when she turns her gaze back to you. “I wanted to ask...” You keep holding her hand, “If you would like to go on an adventure.”

“An adventure?” Mira's face frowns a little unexpectedly, “I don't know, I think I've had enough adventure for a while.”

“No, no, no little flower. You've been caught in a dramatic struggle of hate and revenge.” You say with a slight pout of your lip, “ I'm asking... “A smile returns, “If you want to see the beauty in this world. We'll see cities far and wide, places wild and untamed, and beauty that will stay with you for a thousand lifetimes. What do you say?”

Mira looks away, timid as her usual self, “I... I really don't know. Everything's just started to get better here. And, what about you? You're the lord of this place now right? You're just going to leave?”

>[“I need you Mira. Everything's going to work itself out here, but I need you.”]
>[“What's there to stay here for? You could leave all the bad times behind.”]
>[“There's bigger things going on in Thespia dear, our adventure will be one bigger than life itself.”]
>[“I... understand Mira.” Give the Guisi girl a hug, “I'm going to miss you.”]

Anyway, now you're here. There's yellow fluff on one side, green fluff on the other. That's usually how you wake up.

Something is different about this time. Among colored fluff on both sides, there is also some brown-fluff as well.

And Black.

And an.. extra voice that you can hear breathing?

Gently, you sit up. Beside you is a number of unexpected guests who you can't remember being invited last night.

One of which is the black-haired little girl which you vaguely remember from yesterday. Not sure where Cody picked her up, but Catland being Catland you can guess it's going to result in you pounding some faces in later.
Another being Annetta, Yuuki's princess. Oh, and speaking of Yuuki's princess; there's Yuuki at the far end.

Yuuki's eyes are open, she's clutching that spear-like thing of hers. You're not sure she's slept all night.

"Yer shift's over." You whisper at her.
"Ergh." Is all she emits in response.

"What ye doin' here?"
"Anna and I agreed that the castle wasn't a safe place to stay. So we came over here at midnight."
"Why'ye say that?"

"There was an.. I'll explain later." Yuuki shifts in her flowery dress. It's almost like she's being held to the floor. "I've been on guard for hours and would really like to sleep."

"Aye, go do it. Don't need my permission."
"I'd love to but-" Yuuki hesitates. "I can't get up."

You try to get up, and you can't either.

There seems to be a large mass of.. snake.. binding everyone together like a big rope. She tugs and pulls into what you can only describe as a group hug.

At the other end, with a silly smile on her face, is Madeleine. Her long body successfully covering everyone like a blanket.

>"Madeleine, w-wake up."
>Try to sneak out from snek
>"So, Yuuki, want to explain what happened?"
>"We might be here a while."
>Go back to sleep, you aren't in the mood.
>Other?

Can we go and meet Tuile this thread?
It's been forever since we've met her

Getting a little bit annoyed that Madeleine keeps showing up all the time but Tuile doesn't

>>44946642
Yeah sure.

>>44946526
Better move out of the way then.

Since it is worth bringing back from the former thread (thanks to each and everyone who contributed to save it from OP's faggotry, btw), here's the two official free soudtracks that were commisioned by the editor:

Speaking of free and not free soundtracks, any of you has the sense-impacts soundtrack? Not even having any means to listen to at least a part of it before paying 15$ for it is customer-unfriendly as all hell.

This comic has been declining for years. Even with the recent reboot where Burlew promised less text. Despite that change he pretty much instantly went back to the walls of text about a Scandinavian pantheon we don't give a fuck about, with loads of self-reference that he probably giggles and masturbates too, even though he's the only one who finds it funny.

It's been a long time since OOTS has been competently written; probably around the time of Roy's death. Even before that, the cuts to Xykon and the gloom creature grew boring fast. No one gives a fuck about Redcloak and the entire setting is far too confusing and complicated for the kind of low-effort fun a webcomic is supposed to be.

You have literary-tier complexity in a comic that has about as much literary merit as a shit in a portapotty at a state fair, combined with slow updates because Burlew hurt his hand two years ago and hasn't stopped milking it since. I bet he had a Kickstarter to fund his broken hand. God knows he's had plenty of others for this webcomic that should have concluded 5 years ago.

>>44945543
If it is so awful, why do you read it?

>>44945595
If no one posted it on /tg/ I wouldn't even remember that this existed. I stopped reading it long ago, incidentally about the time Roy came back to life.

>>44945296
thank you

I'll hold votes open for 10 more mins or so.

One of the things I remember from the Ghibli Borrowers movie was that water behaved differently for them. It sort of beaded up in big drops on them and they could swat it off.

I wonder how true that would be.

>>44945265
Ghibli movies are usually comfy as fuck, but Arietty was like maximum overcomfy, holy shit

>>44945496
Except for that time when the boy says "Welp I guess your race is doomed! You're a dying breed!"

Out of fucking nowhere this kid channels hard core Nihilism and then is confused why arietty is kinda pissed at him.
