Another typical day has come and gone at St. Thecla's, struggling to distinguish itself from the banality of the city. At least for everyone else. Your exciting lives as divine agents in the celestial shadow war has begun. While the official meet up spot hasn't been decided on the back exit of the school had been a natural place to converge after being trapped in classes and free to do your sacred duty. Though the real excitement is about to begin even your school days have managed to be more hectic since making the contract. Crystal - What happened between Misha and Mindy that's making you dread the next conversation with either of them? Jessica - Have you told the others about Jennifer? Why would a sleepy city like this need so many magical girls? Saya - Who's desire has your talent revealed to you? And why would helping them with it be tricky? Viera - What did Misha say to you today that made you wish you were always in your magical form? Alexis/Suzanne - Dahlia has been wanting to hang out along with you and Tetsuko after school. What have you told her since explaining that you're monster hunters is probably out of the question. Tetsuko - What grave injustice had you witnessed? Bartleby is waiting for you when. "Since you're still learning how to track demons I saw fit to assist. I've observed a category B demon gestating close by. They are manifestations of duress. Perhaps any of you know somewhere that would bear witness to many negative emotions?" Ooc thread here Relationship map here SHY NUDIST GRRL fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Oct 23, 2015 |

Jennifer did introduce herself to the others without any action on my part, actually. I didn't know about it until Saya told me she'd help me and Jennifer get my memory back! Wait, what? That's... actually a good question. Maybe its the fact that the city is so sleepy that attracts demons. Lots of people, easy to track down. And probably lots of unfulfilled wishes like careers or whatever, that cause negative emotions to swell up until it's too much? That'd be my guess, anyway. "Tetsuko, thanks so much again for helping me get through geography. Still such a nightmare to remember so many names..." "Oh, yeah, right. A place where a demon of duress would gestate? A prison probably would be the worst offender. An office building would also fit, but there's too many around to pinpoint it down. A school, maybe, but this is the only school nearby and we'd surely notice that." I answer to Bartleby.

Tetsuko Hondo Tetsuko nods sagely. "Glad to be of help, Jessica. The world may be vast, my friend, but the mind is vaster. With enough practice I'm certain you'll break Mr. Reinhold's quizzes over your knee!" The delinquent chuckles and slouches further against the back wall; she's been off class for at least a half hour, playing brawlers against Mia on her cell. Bartleby just appeared once the others arrived. After an absent glance towards the frog creature she responds to the rest of the team. "There are many things that could cause this distress, but only a few have changed recently. I've noticed some of our classmates have brought smaller lunches lately; barely enough to feed an elementary schooler. They tried to hide it, but I demanded that they sit with me and share my lunches. Apparently their parents were laid off out of the blue. All individually, from places that had no reason to." Her next words are spoken with her customary gravity. "Perhaps it's coincidence, perhaps it's the work of demons. Regardless, I can't let it stand!" A fist clenches in anger. quote:What Kind of Girl Are You?

Still holding her bookbag with both hands, Saya swings it gently, as if having a little trouble focusing. Why did Jennifer want to keep Jessica from getting her memory back? Were they enemies before? It didn't make any sense! "Well, I think there's... um..." She touches her cheek with a fingertip. "... a girl in my class who needs new glasses, she's been squinting a lot, and, um, not everybody is happy in gym class... or math..." None of this is particularly noteworthy, but she's probably not one who fixates on the negative. Then, suddenly, her eyes widen in alarm as she puts her hand in front of her mouth. "Wait, Class B?! Does that mean it's one of our classrooms?!" A pause. "Wait, our classrooms have numbers, though, not letters." She folds her arms over her bag, pondering. pre:Saya Wakahisa | 若久 沙耶, the Sweetheart Saint Saya Magical Element: Hearts Magical Weapon: Golden chains Magical Power: Manifest a heart’s desire Magical Specialization: Priestess Normal Attributes: Charm 7 Insight 2 Tenacity 5 Magical Attributes: Magic (Defense) 6 Fury (Offense) 3 Love (Support) 9 Other Attributes: Resolve: 18 Magical Talents: Boost (3/scene, 1O) Recover (2/episode) Link Power Dampening (1/scene) Bonus Action (1/scene, 1O) Fight For Friends (2/scene) Battle Sorcery Alien Rope Burn fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Oct 24, 2015 |

We should try talking with them" she said before adding "Because maybe is not much of a somewere but a someone... What if the demon is forming too close to one of our classmates and is feeding from them?" she asked before moving her hair away from her face "we should... i dunno Carry Barty in one of our backpacks that way he would have an easier time spotting the demon without it spotting him first... maybe" quote:

Alexis Kline Alexis sighed in relief as the cell phone call ended just as just as she neared the meeting point, for the time being Dehlia seemed to be buying the homework help excuse she scraped together but she would have to prepare a more convincing narrative for next time they met. Of all the difficulties that came with holding a double life keeping Dahlia in the dark was one of the aspects that bothered her the most partially because it felt wrong to lie to one of the few people she considered her friend as opposed to Suzanne's and partially because she wasn't the sort of person who took no for an answer exceptionally when Tetsuko was involved. Moving out the door as quietly as possible Alexis joined her teammates just in time to respond to Bartleby's question "Any tests happening soon? I know some people can get really hung up worrying about that sort of thing." quote:What kind of girl are you?

Viera Arashiko Viera walks quickly out of the chemistry room when the bell rings, head hanging, backpack tightly gripped. She doesn't want anyone to see the moisture around her eyes, especially not Erik. She makes sure to quickly get lost in the student shuffle of the lunch break, away from the classroom and away from Misha. What does she know! Erik doesn't even know she exists, let alone have an opinion on her appearance! She wish should could say something back. To know how to keep Misha's words from circling inside her head. She needs an escape. She uses she was back in the library Drying her eyes, Viera jumps a bit when she opened her locker. Bartley's occasional appearances did little to help just seeing him in the open, she partially closes the locker door to hide him as he informers her of the newest threat. As bad as she felt, she could help but smile at the prospect. As awful as the demons were, as dangerous as her duty was, it would be nice to be around her nakama again. And to be how she really felt. She pulls out some books from her locker as she gets ready to go to the rendezvous spot at the back entrance. "Negative energy? I'll look at the detention room on the way out. The teachers have been on a rampage and I would bet that most people in there are stewing resentment." quote:Magical Element: Runes

Tetsuko Hondo Tetsuko, arms crossed and brows narrowed, is listening intently to her teammates. So intently it looks like she's nodded off, until she loudly snaps her fingers with a tut of frustation. "Jessica raised a good point. The monster could be anywhere in the city; we'll be lucky if we find any leads in St. Thecla's. Still, starting where we know best isn't a bad idea. And any signs of magic ought to linger on after hours. What do you say we give the school a once over now that we're together?" Her harsh expression softens as she considers this plan, her tensed arms swaying gently down to her sides. "We can say we're pitching in to clean after class. An, ah, 'tradition' that Saya and I suggested."

Jessica, as usual, looks like she's staring off into the distance, as if caught up in memories - somewhat ironic, considering her condition. "Sounds like an idea to me. Let's do it then.

"Sure, I'll get the cleaning supplies!", Saya says cheerily, before asiding to Viera as if speaking confidentially. "Don't worry, we're not going to clean. Well. Maybe a little." She laughs, and looks to Bartleby. "Anyway, thanks for the tip! We'll take care of it, don't you worry." Does Bartleby worry? Well, it's the polite thing to say.

Viera smiles and giggles at Saya's comment. "I like that idea. Maybe we should pair and split up? We'll cover more ground and it'll seem a little less weird that way. It would be really bad if we missed it in an obvious place like the school."

"Thats amazing" she said before pondering "Hey this may be a longshot but... Mind and Misha have been having more than a couple of fights lately and I don't know why so I'd really like to check on them sooner rather than later" she said "So we could start with one of them?" altough her total lack of poker face showed that she was really worried for them

Alexis Kline Alexis winced at the idea of a demon targeting someone she knew " You know thinking about it there has been something really nasty going on between them recently. I was thinking it was just more of the usual hostility but if things are getting that bad then that sounds like as good of a lead as any."

Tetsuko Hondo "I will go with Crystal then. We can't have *ahem* fellow classmates at each other's throats, whether or not the demon's nested here." Tetsuko thinks to herself that Mindy has better odds in a proper fight, and cracks a rather thoughtful smirk at the idea. "Oh, and Saya? I think I'll have a broom and dust mask."

The School The school is mostly abandoned at this time of day, as most students are glad to be free of it. A few after school clubs meet on this day. And Dahlia is leeching the wifi in the library. But anything out of the ordinary would require digging to find. The Office Well you find the office. It's not hard to locate the Trapnet building, home of an IT security firm. A breach recently lowered company stock and staffing has taken a hit. It's been the talk of the town as there is rarely much else going on. Any fluctuation in the job market gets picked up on quick, and any news of it shrinking lingers with the adrift. However finding the demon is going to be tricky. The office never really closes , which at least means you won't have to break in.

"Right, we made it here. Let's see. Do you notice anything out of the ordinary, Alexis? I... uhm, sure don't." I made extra sure to call her the proper name. It's actually pretty confusing, having to switch names while in private and in public like that constantly. But still, I feel like it's something I should do, you know. She's in a weird and lovely position just like me. Locate Something (Youma): 2d6+3 5 gulp.

Tetsuko patiently sweeps the floor as she walks the halls with Crystal. Straight down the middle of the hallway, forcing the remaining students to edge nervously around her. And with a white dust-mask muffling half her face every passing glance becomes a panic-inducing death glare. She breaks her way through several club gatherings before she realizes Mindy and Misha's schedules are completely unknown to her. Leaning casually against the broom, shoulders slack, Tetsuko asks her teammate in a brashly joking tone that betrays a distinct hint of apology. "Crystal, if I were to have no idea where Mindy was at all, where would you, ah, say I should look for her?" Locate Mindy/Misha: 11 I got nothin'.

Crystal walked with Tetsuko trying to get her attention due to the path they were taking at the moment "Umm Tetsu... Umm" she eeped when Tetsuko turned to her and nodded "Yes I know where we could find them I usually meet with Misha before we leave by the theater room while Mindy should be getting ready for her Jet Kune Do club activities" she answered "We could go get to Misha first is closer" Searching for Mindy and/or misha: 2d6+5 16

Crystal and Tetsuko Crystal leads the way to Misha waiting at the theater's doors who greets Tetsuko with her trademark glare. "What are you skulking around here for?" She demands. The whole hallway appears like it has miasma sweeping out over it, flowing towards you. Misha stands up and crosses her arms. "What are both of you doing here? I..." she huffs. "You're the last two I expect to see walk around together." SHY NUDIST GRRL fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Oct 31, 2015 |

"C'mon, let's get started!" Saya hurries on ahead, and then looks for the maintenance closet, tugging it open. "So, who do you have do your hair? I like it." She wrinkles her nose at the scent of cleaners as she steps in, and then starts to lug out a bucket. "So, detention hall? Or do we get the cleaning stuff to the others first, or... I wonder if you can wash a monster out before it manifests? Like is it a stain, or...?" Seems like a good time to try Bonding with Viera, for a 13, which should bump it from +2 to +3.

"Hmm, I think Tetsuko and them are going to get their own supplies, so maybe detention first... *mumble*Washing out the demons? Like just sticking a mop in their face until it manifests?*mumble*" Viera looks distractedly at a mop before snapping back to reality. "Oh! m-my hair? Err... its a bit embarrassing, but I do it myself... I mean, dad helps me a bit with the sides, but I like to do the rest of it myself. I love your hair! I wish I could pull of pigtails the way you do. And your style!" Viera continues talking with Saya while they make their way to the detention hall, distractedly cleaning all the way there.

Vieira and Saya find the detention hall empty today thankfully. Viewing through the soul prism shows the distortions of a demonic nightmare forming. "Hey!" Suddenly Dahlia calls out. "What's that cool crystal thing Vi?" She trots over. You can feel the grin through her scarf. Alexis and Jessica make it all the way through the front door where you are met with the steely gaze of a security guard behind the front desk. This plan doesn't feel so hot right now. He doesn't address you yet because clearly you don't have any business and are lost.

Urk! "Wha-what, this dumb thing? It's just something I found around my Dad's shop." Viera tries to tuck away the soul prism into her backpack. "Anyway, why are you here? I thought you were going to the library after school today?" Staying calm after being jumped: 10

Tetsuko stares over her mask with dead fish eyes, offering a tiny wave in greeting. "Yo, it's nice to see you too. Since you asked, Misha, I'm here to help sweep the school. But you see that's a lot of ground to cover, even for me. Crystal was good enough to chip in when I asked. Very forthright of her. The kind of-" Her mockingly flat tone takes on an accusing edge, and her eyes dart to Misha's. "-honesty we need these days." "She told me she's rather worried about you two. Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm not getting in the way of two friends now, am I?"

"And I don't think you'll be learning anytime soon." She turns to leave.

Lugging a bucket of cleaning supplies, Saya's almost arranged it like a gift basket. "Ah, ha ha, my pigtails aren't anything special, don't be silly!", she says, looking away self-consciously.

"Urhm, we're kind of in the middle of-" Viera starts, while still fiddling with the backpack, trying to put the prism away. Instead, she manages to snag the zipper, pulling the whole thing open and spilling out her books. To top it off, she stumbles back onto one of her novels, and falls flat on her rear. "Ow! ooo....."

An uneasy flash crosses Tetsuko's eyes during Crystal's panicked reaction. She removes her mask and draws her arms up in a shrug, cleaning equipment dangling carelessly from both hands. Her voice grows more serious, but it's tinged with relief. "You won't owe us a 'favor' or anything, we're above that. Should anyone gets nosy you can say we were never here. I won't hold that against you." Pausing briefly to note her teammate's reaction, her stormy expression suggests that she's debating with herself. "I'm here because I want this to be an honest school. That means no petty vengeance, no wanton cruelty. Since Crystal sees a lot of good in you, I'll help. If you play by those rules."

"Viera!", Saya calls out as she jogs the few steps over. There's a moment where she tries to hold the bucket forward, realizes she has it in her hands and that it isn't helping, and then sets it aside before offering a hand up. "Huh?

Crystal and Tetsuko Misha rolls her eyes at Tetsuko. She frowns at Crystal but it seems more pained than scornful. "No, I can deal with it. It might be worse if you get involved. I'll tell you about it when it gets sorted out okay?" She rubs her temples. "And don't ask Mindy about it. It's between us." She sighs. "Well you're busy right? I'll just go home."
