[OOC] Grimoiric Heart

[Lewascan2]

Oh, you're back. It's been at least two whole anime arcs.

@TheWendil

It has?!

Lmfao

Well, I'm just poking in to see if I can fully rekindle my interest. Currently reading through the IC to get a grasp upon what the heck has happened while Camelot has presumably been off-screen recovering. I think if I do jump in, I might want to lead off with a flashback collab post (or segment at the start of her post) to her and Ozma's (and I guess Maria too now, lel) conversation if that is feasible. Might not be due to timey-whimey fuckery, but it's a thought. Still catching up, as mentioned.

[Lewascan2]

Since it's going to be a thing going forward, let's go over Revised Grimoires!

An Altered Grimoire is, as the title says, an alternate take on a story that can result in a stable, functional Magical Girl. Exceptions notwithstanding. Looks at Bell and her tentacle fetish. A Revised Grimoire can be either a standard or an Alter, but it's conclusion has been written over or added upon. The entire meaning of a story and its themes can be changed with just a brief line made from the essence of Pageless merged with the Grimoire, turning a story of accepting the inevitable into one of ceaseless struggle and opposition. The changes are not inherently evil but they are action orientated.

It does produce a change in the temper and behavior of the Magical Girl, pulling them into line with their Revision. They also have a connection with the Pageless that must be developed based on their interactions with Pageless. Further Revisions can made if they develop a strong grasp over the Pageless, allowing edits to be made to the Grimoire consiously at the expense of further impulsiveness and heightened emotions.

Beastial changes may occur with their Magical State, altering their form more animalistic charactertics or militant features.

Inhales lore with the force of a dying star.

Aw yeah, that's the stuff. Just what I need to get those plot bunnies spawning again.
Can't wait to catch up enough to the IC to see what this is all about.
Lmfao, apparently the school got attacked or something?
Guess I need to decide why Camelot was absent. Heheh.

[Lewascan2]

A thought occurs:

The Nutcracker certainly doesn't seem like the sort of tale to be classified as a Legend.
Which makes me wonder about Eins...
She seems self-depreciating about being a "mere Legend" according to Stripes's POV, and rereading her own post doesn't make the Tabby's conclusion seem inaccurate. Pair that with Eins's warnings to students about using her Tuning for the pursuit of power...
Dons tin-foil hat.
It makes me speculate that Eins used her own Grimoire on itself to seek greater heights and was punished for her folly.
She became a "Legend", but a false Legend in the end. Thus, she has an inferiority complex over her status.

Roma: It's free real-estate.

And oh man, all the Tesni sections are giving me ideas about to do between her and Camelot.

[BrokenPromise]

Oh hey there @Lewascan2.

[Lewascan2]

@BrokenPromise
Hoi!
Temmie intensifies.

[TheWendil]

@Lewascan2

A flashback post is fine by me but probably only with Ozma involved to not complicate things.

Guess I need to decide why Camelot was absent. Heheh.

@Lewascan2

Can just say what we said for Lucette, that she went on an overseas mission.

[Lewascan2]

@TheWendil

Still catching up, but given the course of the training session events, I'm starting the think it'd be more impractical than not for the two of them to have that conversation. Plus, Camelot would have wanted to have it 1 on 1, and her own contributions would have likely died off into antisocial silence anyway once the other magical girls started rolling in en masse.

@TheWendil

The other possible explanation is that, with Camelot feeling like she's shoving lava into her body every time she tries to transform, she's on temporary leave of duty to figure that out. Unless the Grand Minister is feeling like a trial of literal fire to see if that will make her push past it no doubt reinforcing her loner tendencies. That said, my, am I getting ideas from Roma's school scheme. Things seem to have gotten busy while I was away.

I see you enjoy Lupin so far.

[Lonewolf685]

Roma: “I could fix that burning problem of yours.” Holds a tiny Pageless up as a pen. “Just open your Grimoire, Camelot. It’s less painful if you’re willing and able to use it.”

@Majoras End

More like I react to basically every single post as a bookmarking method.
Very effective, especially for Advanced-size RP post chains. XD

[Majoraa]

Oooooh. That makes sense.

[Lewascan2]

@Lonewolf685

Jokes aside, if I went with Wendil’s suggestion of Camelot having been sent off on a mission even while she was clearly in bad shape, that would be the perfect time in a flashback post for Roma to approach her alone. There’s effectively a week’s time where both she and Camelot are unaccounted for. We could totally collab this shit.

Which could then see Camelot returning to the home front to find the clusterfuck that occurred in her absense.

@Lewascan2

A bookmark function would be pretty useful.

Regardless, you're catching up quickly.

[Lonewolf685]

Sounds good to me. Roma needs her chief second in command now more than ever.

@BrokenPromise

Yee. I’m on the last page now. I read quick when I really get on a roll. I just had to treat the IC like reading a fanfic, which is when I tend to realy get unto the zone of inhaling content.

[Lonewolf685]

I’m open Thursday or Friday for collab

[Lewascan2]

I’m open Thursday or Friday for collab

@Lonewolf685

Assuming I’m caught up reading (likely) by then, we could start on Thursday. I don’t know if we’ll finish then (since I tend to write… a lot, to say the least), but we should be able to wrap it up by continuing into Friday if necessary.

I do work on Thursday, so I worry our time zones might not line up. So, I want to aim for Thursday, but Friday is still good. I’m completely open then.

[FrogRFlowR]

So we will get a traitor Magical Girl in the end it seem. Eh.

[Lewascan2]

@FrogRFlowR

Who knows!
“Traitor” could be quite subjective in this case. :D
And really, it’s not like Camelot would much agree with Roma’s methods, even if she appreciates the “presented” thought behind her ideals.

[FrogRFlowR]

Trust me, do not trust Roma. What she want is... immoral.

Maria: *shivers*
