i know the life, used to live in Antioch before moving to the Dallas area

how long are you out there though

@HereComesTheSnow Not long usually, so I'd think you're suffering more. My condolences.

august is going to be a nightmare

Bloody hell how are you lot not melting. D: I'm in Scotland and I can't even stand temperatures in the 20cs.

the overnight storm's helping!

Clearly the lack of existence of stories about ice demons etc. in Scotland is because that's just the population here. :P

So in getting ready to make my next post I now realize I really need to draw Mitsuko again. That picture of her is not very good. ^^;

Playing d&d with some friends, will post when I get home.

Airplane + funeral + stuff soon. Will try and get a post before I need to leave but no promises, and if I don't deliver I'll be off the radar for a bit.

Posted. I figure I should mention this, but Ariel is actually pretty experienced when it comes to working as a fairy partner to Magical Girls, so other fairies might be familiar with her - if that's at all relevant.

Remember what I said about page contrast? It's a strain to read her parts. <_<;

Whose? Kyōka's, or Ariel's? I changed Kyōka's text to make it brighter, and I thought it worked... Maybe monitor brightness has something to do with it. Sorry. I thought it was fine because it looked fine on my end. @_@

Just got home, writing post up now!

Bloody hell how are you lot not melting. D: I'm in Scotland and I can't even stand temperatures in the 20cs.

We are melting. Save us!!

i was glad the rain rolled in right until it got into my shoes

i'll take the sun back now thanks

@HereComesTheSnow Your username has never been more inaccurate.

It will in August!!

@Feyblue Ariel's.

And I don't think brightness would matter so much. Maybe resolution and zoom. But brightness wouldn't compensate for a lack of contrast against a dark background.

So, after reading through the existing characters sheets, I'm tempted to apply as either:

1) A slightly strange girl filled with rage at the world - the Magical Girls are guardians of the world, protecting it from chaos... yet the world is generally a bad place that stifles the hopes and dreams of people through apathy, greed, ignorance, misplaced pride and selfish hate. Adopted by a renegade Fairy, she sees her role as a bringer of hope to be one of destruction, because only by extinguishing the light of the old order can a gentler, more equal world be born...

Light brings shadow and thus the haves and have-nots. The darkness alone, though... everyone is equal.



----

2) A young man with no powers (obviously) who dreamed of becoming a hero as a child. After his sister became a Magical Girl he desperately sought to find a way to make a difference in the world and be something more than he otherwise could, realizing that even without powers he still possessed one of the greatest gifts in the universe - a clever mind and the power to mould his own fate.

Dedicating himself to self-improvement and becoming a master in many fields, he has become something of a freelance investigator, detective and occasional vigilante. He works closely with the Magical Girl community, using his contacts in the criminal underworld to help provide anonymous tips regarding the more supernatural threats that often plague the world.

Alright. I'll change up Ariel's dialogue color next time, see if I can make it a bit brighter so it's easier to read.
