While you're at it, tell WC that if he hasn't posted by the time I get home I'm doing aforementioned godmoddery.

Teal Mage 12-23-2008 07:20 PM

Okay!

Uhm, I try to combo.

Alex's magic is meant to blend after all, and apparently Iriumi's power grows when Light is added to her Plants. So, blending Holy Light and Green Vines will probably do things.

Oh, and I can take the last part out if I moved too fast, I wasn't sure how high the zone extended, and I might have reached it too quick.

Edit: Basically, the vines are charged and will do some shocking if you get caught now.

What does Krylo expect? This is Winter Break. I've got family up my ass at all times of the day. =-_-=

Trying to post now...

Edit: And done.

And don't call me 'WC'.

I might just be being a cranky old fogey though. Thoughts?

I actually added that because it would make it clear that Iriumi was totally still alive. After all, such things never actually kill anyone. The goal was of course to hit the rooftop, so I conveyed that with the same level of overwhelming detail as Rhiya did with her own vine-dragon attack. Don't people crawl out of smouldering craters all the time in anime? I do however, admit difficulty in finding anything idealistic about retaliatory artillery strikes, even if the opponent did shoot first.

I do however recall this attack's inspirational analogue shattering windows, boiling oceans, and pulverising concrete but never so much as doing more than burning or tearing clothing from actual characters.

Well there was a lot of other stuff going on, including another attack actually directed at me from Iriumi, none of which I could respond to at all until you posted. Speaking of: the rest of us could all post fine. I mean, I get that you had extenuating circumstances, but not the best time to disappear. I apologize for being hasty/impatient. I'm normally not, but, you know, circumstances which extenuate.

And what would you prefer we shorten it to? Cat? I can do that. I just didn't feel like typing all of Wizardcat out. I could also do that, though, if you absolutely hate shortening it.

Edit: Also I took one very mild liberty with Javier, but it got me cut and seemed like it'd be the only logical conclusion to what I did.

I'll change it if you ask, and think of some other way to escape. It's still winter break, though, and in order to do what I needed to do I had to get it done tonight.

Relm's is... well, Demi is kinda creepy anyway. She's definitely on the DMG side of things, but I don't know how much leeway that really gives for attacks that are basically pure terror.

As for Phoenix's, well I'll admit I don't watch too much actual Magical Girl anime, but shonen anime in general is full of references to resolve to kill, and killing, etc. but then no one ever dies, and it's still all very idealistic. Over all I'm admittedly pretty neutral. I had no problem with the scene as read, and knew that said violent death wasn't actually going to happen, 'cause it never does in this genre. I guess the imagery sounded kinda dark, but I'm pretty sure I've seen twisted metal, smoke, and ash in actual MG animes soooo... whatevs.

Seems like we're making a very strong case for it. Especially Relm's last post.

Really? It hasn't looked that horrifying to me. Just seems like a classic brawl. Though, that would be an interesting idea.

Was primarially used to drive home Ceres' threat of the dire consequences involved in committing to an attack on a civilian target.

Edit: I've seen muscles shredded and actual gore in magical girl animes, so... (Not scenes I particularly liked, either.)

Kay, let's get some stuff straight that you guys shouldn't know. I'm going to be gone on Crimbo and the day before. Also, I'm not going to play with the fight going on outside of Arhra's house.

Done and done.

Edit: Like I said, I'll be gone until Friday. Have fun.

Hey, Rhiya:

A wave of greyness swept out from Mitsuko, the colour of her surroundings fading and light sources being muted. A strange, dull illumination seemed to hang in the air. It swept out of the house, the street becoming an emptier, duller place. The expansion halted and the edges firmed, visible as a distortion in the air.

In addition to reducing the effect of damage to the surroundings and getting innocent bystanders out of the way, a Phantom Zone was still a barrier, acting to trap the combatants within. Cast by a novice in haste, this was a flimsy one, but hopefully it would serve its purpose.


We aren't in the real world. There's no civilians. We're like half a step off from the real world to protect civilians and property damage from us.

Aaaaaaand Anzu shows up and tries to keep Alex from escaping.


Wasn't sure if it was okay with the GMs for me to just pop into the fight, but I got one positive vote from a player so I figured I'd go for it.
