[OOC] Grimoiric Heart

[Lonewolf685]

Given I’m writing Suzuya as someone entirely controlled by her Grimoire when transformed she’ll be a lot more animated when she drops it. Even if she’s too much of a coward to even verbally say “Notice me Sempai!”

Gonna be fun.

You forgot the Grand Minister in that list.

@TheWendil

Lmao, I was mostly just thinking of the main team, but I'd have to list the big lady upstairs as another firm "unknown" on the chart.

You know what? Edit made. Happy? XD

Mostly, I'm assuming the fact that her tale is an Alter would come up in conversation in the rumor mill at some point, since Wilhelmina is fairly open and such. Do correct me if not, but I felt it was a safe bet that after a year, the fact that she's an Alter would have drifted around. There's also the fact that she stands out in her own way even more for how she has a better ending to her legend instead of a worse/twisted one. But again, I'm merely speculating. Do slap me with your own head-canon if you have a specific rep you want her to have cultivated, and I will adjust appropriately.

@Lewascan2

Yeah, that makes sense. As a lover of stories herself, Wilhelmina would have been the first one to point out that her Grimoire does not match the original story and she probably did some research on this herself. If nothing else, Camelot could have caught onto the fact that there is a girl interested in alters... Hmmm... This does give me an idea! Given Wilhelmina's disposition, I would not be surprised if she is actually friends with Chinami, knowing her decently well. They met in the library while Wilhelmina was looking things up about Alters, with things naturally developing from there. What say you?

@Villamvihar

Aye, says I! They can have a sort of symbiotic relationship in civvies, where Wilhelmina does all the extrovert stuff and absorbs attention, while Chinami gets to chill/introvert on the sidelines and interject occasionally. Meanwhile, Chinami's protectiveness and paranoia lend her well to detecting when someone is trying to take advantage of or otherwise mess with Wilhelmina.

I do also find there to be a certain irony to a book lover having a "misprint" for a Grimoire.

Heck yeah, welcome back to the party. Been a while since that first post, huh? Things sure got busy after that!
Also, is it just me, or is Dynasty Queen's Grimoire "mental pollution" rather sinisterly strong, especially given this line (and others besides that were sprinkled about)?

“Well I don’t die at the end of my legend... and I actually succeed at the quest!”

Is that just a slip of the tongue, or are we looking at some Monkey King persona sneaking in shenanigans? Because that's definitely the takeaway Camelot would have if these sorts of things slip into her dialogue often. She definitely comes across as someone who believes they may be the Monkey King reborn.

I guess what I'm actually asking is how much of that sort of talk does she casually slip into her dialogue (whether she believes it or not). I'm working on my next post, and given that Dynasty Queen just directly engaged in conversation with Camelot, you better believe she's getting an introductory segment of paragraphs dedicated to establishing Camelot's current thought process regarding her.

@Lewascan2

I always read it as Tesni/Dynasty Queen had such an easy time with her grimoire early on that now that she’s reached a mental roadblock she’s stuck and having trouble improving. So she started looking deep into the story and culture surrounding it, I mean what else could she do? No two grimoires are the same and the relationship to each person is just as unique.

I’m not sure if the grimoires choose their wielder/user/host based on compatibility or what, but what if a grimoire and host are so compatible from the start? At that point if you can’t tell where the person stops and the story begins does it matter who is in the driving seat?

@McFazzer

Oh nice. I already had the section written, but with this little bit of WOG, looks like I won't really need to change anything (even accounting for Camelot's IC biased observations compared to the reality).

[TheWendil]

I'll be posting tonight for some spice.

[Lewascan2]

Noice. Same here.
There'll be a tad bit of timey-whimey stuff in my post to account for Camelot's response to Lumiere, but I'm just about finished with everything.

EDIT: Post up.

[Izurich]

Ooooh, posts? Time to read!

[Lewascan2]

Okay, I wasn't expecting to actually laugh out loud, but Ozma is quite the character. That was such a hilariously ridiculous anime intro.

[TheWendil]

Was that Ozma? She was moving too fast to really tell.

[Lewascan2]

In my next post, I will have fully moved Camelot to the Academy and interacted with the most recent GM post events and such.

On another note:

THIRD IC PAGE, LEZ GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Feels like an arc resolving, even though technically, I think "first episode" is still effectively ongoing. XD

[Izurich]

So what was that about Nessie not appreciating being princess-carried and handheld by Lumiere again?

[Lonewolf685]

There we go, a Suzuya post. It's rough being a foreigner, a wallflower, and being the new girl whose quickly overshadowed by another flashier New girl.

Now she just needs someone to accidentally kick sand in her face to complete her suffering.

@Izurich

I feel I'm as surprised as most everyone else, but the IC setup for said reaction makes it make sense. Whether or not that sort of reaction will stay consistent or was a result of her exhaustion is up in the air currently, but she seems rather charmed by all this honestly.

[Izurich]

Posted! Downtime before our next mission no doubt~

@TheWendil I took some liberties about Merlin regarding the last parts of my post. Just tell me to edit anything that doesn't fit, if any. Furthermore, Lumiere would like to have a private conversation with Merlin. If possible, would you like to do it in a collab or just post as normal?

@Sonnambula I assumed Nessie has given her name during their trek back to Marrywell, but just tell if it's not the case as I can simply edit out Lumi's dialogue that mentioned her name.

[TheWendil]

@Izurich

Charlotte is physically 19, not 17. In any case, you’re fine regarding the Grand Minister although I don’t control her. If you need to collab, you’ll have to poke @KoL.

Oh derp! Ah well, close enough. Will edit.

Nice~ oh, okay then, so @KoL, whaddya say?
