[OOC] Grimoiric Heart

[KoL]

Hmmmmmmm… My headcanon is that grimoires are pretty much self-regenerating and self-evolving or else all magical girls will be dependent on a “grimoire tuner” to grow, which I don’t like.

I think a more interesting angle would be that she’s a “Grimoire Modder” that provides various buffs and mods to enhance and/or modify a grimoire’s power. Perhaps she can also hasten the repair process of a truly damaged grimoire.

@Izurich

That's an interesting idea to consider. Grimoires self regenerating and evolving is probably how they work to some extent indeed. My idea was always to provide a boost to that or fine tune the direction of the changes.

Or she’s the Librarian. I think this is the route I’m going to decide with.

@TheWendil

She was already gonna live in the library and hard ever leave for any reason anyway. Since she has a body too weak to fight in the frontlines.

Also, now I realize I got the 501st post.

This requires a suitable theme:

@KoL

Weak body = weak eyes = meganekko

Who else are we waiting on to post.

[Lonewolf685]

I'm waiting on Gecko, Fazzer, and Lewascan since Roma was talking to them before the Pageless showed up.

[Ponn]

@TheWendil

Working on an Olivia post now.

Just out of curiosity, how many Pageless are at the park?

@Ponn

Only one hiding in the storm clouds. Tall.

[Izurich]

@TheWendil

As mentioned before, I’m waiting on Nessie (Sonnambula), Wilhelmina (Villamvihar), and Olivia (Ponn) because I’m in the same situation as Lonewolf, our PCs just posted right before their group’s respective Pageless incursion.

With that context, I am totally blaming Elden Ring for the delays in this particular posting round.

[Lewascan2]

Ah, sorry, I've been working on IRL stuff and also trying to fight through writer's block and get some progress in on a chapter for a fanfic I've been procrastinating on updating, so that's been eating up a fair amount of my authoring juices. Also been doing a spot of gaming.

@TheWendil
How many Pageless are at the alley location approximately, and is the weather change described at the park section present over there too?

[TheWendil]

@Lewascan2

Only a couple, about 10-15. The clouds can be seen but are mostly over the park area.

“Are you a real angel, Lumiere?”

“Well, no, real ones are more like…”

Hmmm. After writing my post, I just realised this could be a really thematic scene for Wilhelmina to learn a new power. It is a sudden storm after all, and depending on how severe it turns out, it could be very much in theme with her myth. What say you, fellow players and GMs?

[TheWendil]

@Villamvihar

I'm fine with this, though what power do you have in mind.

Senpai approves of her kouhais growing in POWA!

@TheWendil

I am not one hundred percent sure yet; still brainstorming ideas. The possibilities that come to mind are the following two:

1) The ability to influence weather, more specifically the creation and cessation of storms and clouds. Her allies would be boosted in the areas she controls and suffer no ill effects from the weather. They would be able to see through fog, ignore heavy winds and such for example, as long as Wilhelmina maintains control.

2) An ability that lets her rescue her allies if they are in danger, probably something like a simulacrum of her appearing and pulling them aside in the last moment, or teleporting away with them to a safe place nearby.

Both would be appropriate for her myth; the first one because of the prominent role of the Cape of Storms and the latter because it is very much in sync with the mission the captain is given and how he is rescued by an angel at the last moment.

[TheWendil]

Given she’s primarily a support Magical Girl, I think the first ability would be better for her development. It can manifest in small ways in this encounter and become a skill she slowly works on developing, maybe even making it more offensive along the way.

[Izurich]

Checking in, @Sonnambula, you posting soon?

[Izurich]

Also, seriously?

I hope I didn't give the GMs a dose of deja vu.

[TheWendil]

Are you sneaking around in places you shouldn't be. That's not very Ministry of you.

I am not Lumière, nor Lumiere, I am a lurker.
