Spec Ops, Magical Girl Edition!

I'm tossing around the idea of making her Three Bears (the original gentlemen trio) power a double-edged sword using this stealth mechanic. She can communicate with them and command them telepathically, and they will follow her orders... up until the moment they see her, as the 3 Bears still hold a grudge against "Goldilocks". In other words, she must play secret commander, using her troops effectively while avoiding their attention at all costs, lest she be forced to resummon them when they try to attack her instead. Luckily, the bears do not retain memories of her identity between summons, but it's very inconvenient to have to reposition all her troops.

Her current theme, lol:

If you controlled Soup you too may be as cool as this guy.

Okay, I actually saw some of that a while back, loved it, and then completely forgot it existed. That was rather interesting. XD
Still not on board with the soup thing though. Can't say why, but I just don't like it. Maybe the thought will grow on me later, but I've actually got a solid idea of what I want to do now, and random soup control is a bit... off theme?

Ugh, suddenly, I actually started trying to think about how to make it fit, and suddenly I'm thinking of another relative "quality of life" power like Camelot's Round Table (with ridiculously smaller scale, granted). Given my current concept, being able to always have snacks may not be such a bad idea, lol.

Soup is hope. Soup is life. Soup sustains the masses through the darkest periods in history and warms the soil in the cold of night. To hold the power of soup is to cradle the nurturing power of life itself in your very hands!

Having finally gotten Roma's first POV, I already love everything about her. This is most certainly going to be an interesting time going forward; she definitely feels like your passion project for this story. Don't get me wrong, Suzuya is absolutely great too, but Roma definitely gives off the feeling of being the character you made first (which she is) and fleshed out most, even with a single post from her so far. She just needed a far more particular opening to enter the narrative. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what other kinds of ripples she plans to set in motion.

And let me just say, the timing and location of her depositing the gold coin was inspired. Despite Camelot's paranoia, it does seem as though there is now an in-character path towards her not just chucking it. She's still not likely to keep it long-term, but I'm already putting a little side plotline together involving it.

Me: *realizing I'm going to need to go on another history/research binge to figure out exactly what kind of gold coin Camelot would most likely historically have... and its worth in modern British pounds*

@The 42nd Gecko
That face when all the melee characters have to resort to throwing their weapons for various reasons. XD

@Lewascan2 Indeed. :P

The power of BONK! shall be with you.

On a related note, @Sonnambula, if Nessie responds to Lumiére in the affirmative, consider the buff moved from Lumiére to her, as Goodhope realises that her sempai is exhausted.

Sure, that's fine by me.

In that case, I'll probably post sometime today then. I think the Power of Friendship has handicapped our opponent more than enough for Nessie to stand a chance now.

You love to hear it! The end of the beginning approaches, and the gang is nearly all together. *rubs hands together* Then we can get to the first proper character interaction outside of battle.

@Lewascan2
My drive for Roma is in two parts. One is that I love being the antagonist. Not so much that I enjoy evil, I really don’t like doing chaotic evil protagonists, but I do immensely enjoy being someone else’s opposition. I’m the guy who never DMs because he’d have zombies and skeletons make grapple checks and use help actions to guarantee easy hits and Crits on prone players.

And I made Roma 6 years ago without finding a public RP setting to use her in. Plenty of PMs and lore outside this setting but this is her long awaited proper shakedown. Which is refreshing to take her back to factory default, new power set, but all the drives and twisted compassion that makes her equal parts yandere and waifu. Like an electric eel wrapped around your neck and purring.

And if the need arises I have plenty of others who’d easily fit in just as well.

Oh, I think you can go ahead and continue the post with the result of Nessie’s action. I think no one else is going to steal her thunder, so all I can reply with is pretty much just Lumiere watching her.

Yeah, probably would've been good to just do that right off the bat haha, my apologies. Post edited.

Sweet! That honestly gets me even more hype, knowing this is a character with a lot of depth and quirks to work with.
On a related note, I was just hoping for some clarification on this line for my next post:

"A sense of gratitude for the meal manifested upon Camelot's person, as all the way atop Big Ben itself there was the sudden drop of a coin ringing in the now empty scabbard."

Is this more on Roma's end or something Camelot will actually feel/sense when the coin appears? I like to go detailed on what characters observe/feel, so this is definitely something that will be noted if so. I'm guessing, "yes", which is how I'm currently structuring the start of my next post, but I just felt like double-checking.

@Sonnambula
Nice cap there. Epic finish. To be honest, wasn't actually expecting Nessie to summon a water dragon/cyclone-thing from the get-go, but I guess Ozma's mysterious ways are a bit responsible here. Flipping Wizard of Oz being inscrutable again! XD

Ozma? Who’s that? All I saw was Nessie.

Well, now that I look again... Hmmm, must have been my eyes playing tricks on me. *wink wink* XD

@Lewascan2

It’s more on Roma’s end. Camelot will probably hear a coin drop into her sheath but I think she’s the type who would never think it was someone repaying her and can be surprised when it does come up.

And if I gave Roma the power to convey emotions regardless of distance then I’d be stepping on toes, outside of what the giftee feels themself from their gift.

Thanks, very helpful. That will actually make this go smoother, since without the whole emotion conveyment, Camelot's paranoia won't be twigged as badly. Although, she's not liable to notice the coin dropping into her sheathe quite yet, considering the fact that most of the inside of the scabbard is made of stiffened leather, not metal (some of the outside frame is though) and that the wind is pretty loud up where Camelot currently is. That said, she'll notice it fairly quickly for different reasons. It will definitely be a surprise nonetheless.

Mmmmm, I think I'm gunna peace out of this RP guys. It was fun while it lasted, and I'm sure you'll all have fun obliterating the pageless in my absence.

Damn, gonna miss the potential character interactions. Was really looking forward to seeing what you had planned long-term. Can definitely understand losing inspiration or being too busy though with other RPs and such, so good luck with your other endeavors!
