[OOC] Grimoiric Heart

[Lewascan2]

Whelp, time to meet the bunny and hear some Anti-Ministry Propoganda. Surely nothing bad can come of this.

@Lonewolf685

Nothing at all, I'm sure. Noice post~! I'm currently structuring mine, so with any luck, I can have something out soonish.

[Lewascan2]

@TheWendil Okay, sorry, this is bugging me a bit. I seem to have found slightly contradictory statements in GM posts, so I'm wondering exactly how long it's been since the Pageless fight.

The intro posts for the Academy indicates that the girls were up before the sun, and the sun is rising on the Academy. However, the latest plot post has this segment:

Segment

The day came and went with the initial introductions out the way. The new girls were shown their dorms and class schedules, spending a night with their roommates and getting adjusted to the way things were in Marrywell. Whatever antics they got into were their own stories to tell as all was driven by the will of the Grand Minister. By the next day, all the Magical Girls involved in the last night’s incident were gathered for their first assignment and not of the scholarly kind.

Is it still the same day Nessie arrived, or is it the day after? This seems to imply it's the latter, aside from the "last night" bit. The wording right at the end there just tripped me up, so I wanted to be sure.

@Lewascan2

Yeah, it should be "the incident of two nights ago" or something like that.

[TheWendil]

It’s the very next day.

Lilian: "I don't think the board of directors would approve of a girl trying to build a harem with all the newbies, but I appreciate your devotion nonetheless."

[Lonewolf685]

Silly. All magical girls are harem protagonists

@KoL

Gotta get them all first before Roma poisons their mind with anarchist propaganda.

[Lewascan2]

Bleh, finally caught Chinami's post up to just before Roma's most recent section. Much as I want to finish it tonight, sleep is calling. So, guess I'll be doing that and finishing it up hopefully later today once I'm not worried about fumbling the dialogue from bleariness.

[Lewascan2]

Whelp... There we go, post finally up... and a lot longer than I would have liked. XD

I really wish I'd found time to get the first part of that up before the time-skip. Was originally intending to initiate something of a Chinami/Bonnie one-on-one section. Might have even done a back-to-back collab if Gecko was up for it.

[TheWendil]

If I’m reading this correctly, Chinami not only has multiple humans who know she’s a Magical Girl but also has a branching network of homeless to act as her eyes and ears too. Hmm.

[Lonewolf685]

I can hear a butcher’s cleaver being sharpened behind the GMs back.

@TheWendil

As much as she has a couple that she might trust with her identity in time, Chinami has not revealed her true form to any of the homeless/guests at her Table.

In general as well, this is also the first time she has been forced to make use of the homeless as an information network (at least on such a potentially large scale). She mentions that she wouldn't have asked unless she pretty much had no choice in the matter, as this is a purely altruistic thing she's doing. For that reason, she doesn't like asking things from them, since she feels like that makes her look like she has expectations of compensation in some form. It's an option she's had in her pocket for a while, but it's only now that she's decided to effectively cash in the favors she's owed in order to continue doing more for the community. Whether or not that leads to her starting to make more use of her network going forward? We'll just have to see how things develop.

[TheWendil]

@Lewascan2

As long as she's not outright saying to normal people she's a Magical Girl and it's not a random army of homeless she's revealing, then it's fine. Jonathan's phone call, when he's never been mentioned prior to the post, made it seem like she just had a secret network of homeless and London's downtrodden hidden from the very start. That said for the future, I would like this to be focused more so on the Magical Girls so time will tell how much impact this network has on things going forward.

@TheWendil

Jonathan and the indication of the existence of her having people to help manage her feasts was actually mentioned in the very first Camelot post, right before she leaves the feast. Rest assured, however, the network was utilized in this scenario solely for the purpose of finding a new location. I actually slipped a bit into Camelot's own thought processes here, because it didn't even occur to me to use it for more (at least involving the magical side of things); it was purely a means to a specific end. For the time being, the feasts/homeless aspect will likely be relegated to background stuff and only mentioned at most as you were desiring.
After all, she's got to wait a while for them to bring back results before anything significant can occur on that end, and it is my intention to discuss with the GM(s) when appoximately such results will come to fruition.

[Izurich]

Oh yeah, there's also that bit where logically, Lucette would've observed Chinami's most recent Round Table (the one after her talk with Jonathan) since Liliana tasked her to be Chinami's "guardian angel", but I'm OOCly unable to do so because that part was written as a set in one post; it's a meta problem that disrupts what should've transpired ICly.

Practically, not a big deal though, it's something I'm willing to easily handwave, let's just say Lucette didn't know about that particular feast or she did, but decided to not personally be there, observing from afar instead, making sure there aren't any Pageless about the area.

[Ponn]

I should hopefully have an Olivia post up sometime tomorrow.

@The 42nd Gecko has been absent for 10 days now. Hope they’re doing alright.

They’ve told me they’ll try to get a post up this weekend.

@TheWendil

Great! But my question still stands; extended leave usually - but not always - entails something not good currently happening irl. I just hope everything's alright on their end.

Friends got me addicted to WoW classic. I can see how this ensnared so many lives.
