[IC] Strings of Fate: A Magical Girl Roleplay

[Tatsua Aiisen]

[Lindsey "The Bosslord"] - [Error Wrecking Crew] [Somewhere, Municipio XII]

"...It's quiet. Too quiet." Mumbling nonsensically to herself, a certain powerhouse of a magical girl sits ponderously atop a random, unimportant structure. Around her in all directions, stretched the territory she had chosen for herself. It was her hunting grounds, a sectioned-off region of her gang's turf where she could take all of the prey she wanted. One might ask (if they were a weakling), Why split the territory when you could just hunt Errors together? Depending on who you asked, you might get a different answer. Lindsey's answer would be clear from the very moment you set eyes on her. Because it's more fun this way. Cracking her knuckles and raising her head to the bright, sunlit city, Lindsey begins to bring herself to her feet. "Mmm, let's see if we can't find something worth fighting. There's gotta be somebody not-boring around here somewhere, right!?" So, she bounces over to the edge of the building and peers out into the distance, looking for something to fight. It's Error Hunting time.

Lila sighed as the interloper made herself known, great, another girl to waste her time, as if dealing with errors and the others wasn't enough already. Hearing her introduce herself and how she was somehow the head of her family, made the summoner roll her eyes in weariness. If this were a job, she felt that she would have quit by now, the pay was meager and the co-workers unbearable. Standing from the table she was using as a writing desk, she approached the novice magician, a practiced, welcoming smile hiding her disinterest. "Hello, I'm Lila, I overheard what you said, and if you're here to better learn how to use your powers, I'd be happy to take you out on a patrol through our territory, if you're interested of course." Lila offered the other girl her hand to shake, that same meaningless smile still on her face.

Jessica-Weird Sisters Apartment-Municipio V Jessica knelt to retrieve the bag she had carried in before heading off toward her own room. Her plants could wait for the time being. She paused and turned back, returning the bag to the hallway before asking, "School aside, are either of you hungry? If so, I'll make you something." She couldn't very well let her team go hungry, besides, cooking was something she enjoyed, after all.

[Card Captor]

James/(Jasmine)-Weird Sisters Apartment-Municipio V Jasmine nodded "yeah, I'm starving. School food isn't really that good...at least not at the school I go to. So I'd love something to eat, if it's not too much trouble." Jasmine briefly considered how strange her current situation was; a pretty girl that he wasn't related to was offering to make him (and one other person) some food. True, Jessica didn't know that she was really a he, so this didn't mean the same thing. Still, it was a nice salve for his inner man's wounded ego

Sam Linder of the Weird Sisters

Apartment - Municipio V

Sam was grateful when Jessica changed the subject. In fact, she was grateful that Jessica didn't fret about how Sam was not only a school dropout, but a runaway as well. "Yeah, I'm quite hungry," Sam said, returning her gaze to her book. "I mean, I snacked a little when you were both out, but I'm still quite hungry." She glanced over at Jasmine again when the other girl was talking about school dinners before looking back down at her book. "School food is bad by design," she commented. "The school is more concerned about the quantity of food rather than the quality." She shook her head slightly before turning the next page of her book.

Seren nodded. "Oh, okay. Um . . . here," she said showing Annie the jewel embedded in the center of her outfit. "I get my power from here." The younger girl looked on in wonder as Annie procured her old book and demonstrated her magic. As someone who had little experience as a magical girl, seeing other's abilities was always astonishing for her. "Wow, pretty!" she remarked. "So, uh, your cards are able to grant special abilities or something? Wow, that's way more useful than my ability right now."

[Art of Fun]

Tsukimon Arata - Nameless Group Warehouse Base "Takai, huh?" The chance meeting of another Japanese mob family in Rome of all places was both amusing and surprising to Tsukimon. Chewing away at one of the sandwiches Maria had masterfully crafted, she turned to face the newcomer and Lila. "How do I word this... it is not that I am too trusting." She leaves it at that, pulling down a box of PG tips instead of the usual tea she was prone to drinking. She scrutinized the brand through a squint before shrugging, setting it down. Leaning against the kitchen top, she turned that same scrutinizing eye to Makoto and raised a silencing hand to Lila. "Do not be too hasty. I can just tell when someone is too new to mean us harm. Who told you to come to us?" Tsukimon asked, a somewhat dangerous edge to her question. She raised the sandwich up for another bite. It was likely the local moderator, trying to keep things neat and organized. The yakuza princess had an unspoken dislike of the Moderators and their seemingly arbitrary authority over the realm of magical girls, but it was of course a dislike she would keep to herself. She'd already made enough enemies out of the Chinese Moderator and her cronies. Good times. "Because I'm not sure if you can tell, but we are not exactly the most organized team!" Which was fine with her, "Whoever sent you probably did not like you." Tsukimon moved over to Lila, throwing her arm over the other girls shoulder with the sandwich hanging out of her mouth. There's no way she was not doing that to intentionally frustrate her. There was something very alien about that gesture coming from Tsukimon, who usually held a very proper stance. "Oh! If you are going to go out, take Marie and Silvia. They say the best way to learn is to have someone you can teach. You can each chip in to help out the new girl." She said after a swallow. "Who knows, having a grass green girl might even help stop you from being so..." She turned her head to Lila, looking for an appropriate but polite word. "...Political." Tsukimon broke off from Lila and went back to the tea. "How do you like your tea, Takai-san?"

Hua Tsing-Virtù Cardinali Incarnano Cafe Zepelli "I don't really have a preference. Why don't we select it randomly?" Hua continued to try and ignore the endless innuendo. These things were also in her Chinese cartoons, at least in the ones she considered a bit indecent. Well, was it even innuendo at this point? It felt like it was a step beyond that. Hua decided to take another sip of her tea and cosigned herself to being teased. And to think she was the one paying for all this, they should be thanking her and groveling at her feet in thanks- is what a person to serious to live would say. Hua wasn't really that kind of person. Probably.

[Ookawa]

Makoto Takai- Nameless Group Warehouse Base "Pure, please" Makoto exclaimed while eyeing the one who intorduced herself as Lila. She seemed friendly enough, but Makoto's experience told her, people could be friendly on the outside, but actually condemn you on the inside. She had done it a couple of times before, too. "Yeah, it was one of the moderators, who wasn't really that cooperative at first, but after some... persuasion... I got sent here" She slumped forward in her chair and placed her head on her hand which she had leaning onto the table by her elbow. "So, you want to send me out already before telling me your name? How rude...", Makoto pouted, but her pout was quickly followed by a fit of laughter. "Sure, sure, if the three of you want me to accompany you, I'll do so. I might be green as puke, but I can handle myself, I think" She reached behind and from her back, one of her muskets appeared. As quick as she could, she pulled out the bayonet, mounted it on the barrel, then she installed a scope on top of the 19th century rifled musket. It sure looked different, but the menacing gleam in her eyes were telling everybody looking at her that she absolutely loved this weapon and that she meant business with it. Finally, she attached leather straps to it and shouldered it. "If you want to head out and teach me stuff, I'd be ready" A big smirk formed on her face as she got up and straightened her pleated skirt, then sat down again. "First, some tea, though"

Annie - Error Wrecking Crew Rooftop Above Municipio XIII "Well, not exactly, Seren. I've never used this card before which means I would be terrible at it," Annie explained, looking back down at the Guardian. "Card magic is odd sometimes. Sometimes a card is like a vessel that holds a spell until I need to use it. Like the Gravity Card lets me lift heavy things. But then some cards are more complicated, like the Hunter Card. That card isn't a spell as much as it is a persona that seems to have a life of its own and has gotten stronger the more I use it and understand it. I don't know. It's weird." "Well, I guess there is no time like the present," Annie decided. "After all, we are here to practice our powers." Stretching out paper and her pens, Annie begins copying some of the protective runes and symbols. When she's satisfied with them, she picks up the dead plant pot and adds the symbol to it. Then she returns to the other side of the rooftop and shrugs. The Hunter Card returns to her hand and the bow with it. "Here goes nothing." The arrow shoots true and a flash of light meets it, stopping the arrow and protecting the pot. At least at first glance. In a second burst of light, the symbol acts unpredictably and explodes, taking the potted plant with it. "Crap," Annie says, looking at Seren for help.

[TheHangedMan]

Seren had no idea what to do for help, so she gave a reassuring smile. "Well, we can always ask your family for help? Anyway, I think you should focus on your Hunter Card. I think it would be useful to the team. We can have you at ranged, Oxana to help out, me to defend and Lindsey to fight close." She gave a small grin. "Besides, if you start learning how to use your Guardian Card, I'll be useless won't I?" she half-joked. Seren pulled out two shields and held them in each arm. "Why don't we test out your Hunter card more?"

[whiteprophet]

Annie - Error Wrecking Crew Municipio XIII Annie is happy for the invitation and lifts the bow. She pulls back the string and one arrow becomes three. "Get ready, I've got more than just one trick up my sleeve." And let's all three fly.

[Stephanie Dola]

The debate on the television was just about to heat up when Maria had finished cooking. The debate was important, but so was keeping her strength, especially since it was Maria's cooking. That was sure to give her enough energy to get through the day! Silviana without energy would be horrible, it would be like Tsukimon being all friendly and touching others. That would be one backwards world. Silvia left her little corner of the room to grab a sandwich, but noticed two things that were . . . different. Very, very different. The first thing was the person within their building. Given what she had heard from their conversation, she was a greenhorn, so someone who was easily be molded into what they wanted. This was extremely promising, though it would take some time to shape the new girl into what they needed out of her, but it would be worth it. Oh well, it would be rude if Silviana didn't introduce herself, and address the idea of her tagging along with Lia and her. " Did I overhear someone mentioning my name? Something about me helping out the new blood over here? Now, I might be needed to make sure neither of them end up dead, but Lia might want some alone time with the girl? I don't mind sitting back and relaxing at home if they don't want me to intrude on their alone time~! " Silvia was having a bit too much fun with this, but she was pretty bored beforehand, so could you really blame her? " Oh, pardon me, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Silviana Amello, but you can call me Silvia if you prefer! I like sweet food and cute things! I hope we can become good friends, and maybe make this group a bit more organized! " It was good to make new friends, and she would have to have some kind of decent relationship if she was going to be working with this girl. It was better to establish this relationship now and only have it grow while she gets trained. However, this new girl wasn't the most shocking here. No, that belonged to Tsukimon having her arm around Lia. That was just. . . wrong in so many ways. It would be like a depressed Silvia, it just doesn't work.

Catherine - Firtu Cardinali Incaarnano Cafe Zepelli. "Random selection is fine with me." Catherine said before her expression changed into a more serious one. "Of course, we're going to have to find a way to ensure that the selection is fair - with what we can do, I wouldn't put it past any of you to try and tilt the odds in your favour." Of course, being a magical girl meant that you, naturally, could use magic. Who knew what kind of tricks they could try to pull in order to ensure they got their favourite genre? Surely, the stakes of a contest of magical skill between magical girls were high.

[Yuki Nagato]

Jessica smiled at the two girls. She pondered what to make them to eat before deciding it best to ask what they would like, instead. "Alright, is there anything you would prefer?" Jessica asked, before adding, "Hopefully nothing too fancy." She paused, then struck by recollection, "Oh, while I have your attention. Are we still on for patrol tonight?"

[Card Captor]

James/(Jasmine)-Weird Sisters Apartment-Municipio V Jasmine answered "whatever is easier for you, I don't want to be too much trouble." One side effect of having grown up with on;y his mother, was that he learned (via guilt) to not be picky about food made for him by others. Hell, he could even eat something he hated a lot (like pears) and look like he enjoyed it. "And if you two are still up for it, then I am. I'm not sure if I've said this, but outside of you guys and school, I don't really have a social life, so my schedule is pretty consistent"

Sam Linder of the Weird Sisters

Apartment - Municipio V

This time, Sam didn't even bother looking up. "I don't mind, just as long as it's good," she muttered. She turned another page of her book. "And of course I'm still on for patrol. Wouldn't miss it." Of course she wouldn't miss it. It wasn't like she had anything else to do.

[TheHangedMan]

@whiteprophet Seren jumped in reaction to the three arrows. Though surprised, her reaction time was enough to keep up with their flight, and if there was one thing she was proud of, it was how fast she could summon her shields. Almost immediately, the targets of the bows were protected from the arrows by small head-sized bucklers. "Well, I don't have any tricks, but I do my best with the one I have," said Seren serenely.

[whiteprophet]

Annie - Error Wrecking Crew Rooftop Above Municipio XIII "Have you ever-" Annie's sentence cut off and her eyes searched the horizon for something. It was like a scent at first, then she trained her eyes which began to glow. "Errors," she told Seren in a voice that wasn't all her own. She was the Hunter now. And she was on the trail of her prey. "Let's go," she said efficiently, stepping to the edge of the rooftop. The Gravity Card was in her hand and she reached for Seren's hand with the other so they could reach the ground safely together and begin hunting.

[CrazyMoe]

Adalina Corvi - Virtù Cardinali Incarnano Cafe Zepelli Adalina raised an eyebrow at Catherine's obvious distrust towards the random selection. "Now now Catherine, I hope you don't really think I would do something as unjust as cheating in a game of luck by using magical powers, especially when it is only about the movie we're going to watch this evening. Not that I could do something like that anyway, without making it obvious. I really thought you would trust your leader a bit more.....what a pity." She knew that Cath most likely had not meant anything with her statement, but even so, as the veteran member of the group and pillar of justice, she demanded at least some respect, especially when it came to things that weren't just at all. Reminding them now and then that they had to be able to trust each other blindly wouldn't hurt and since there was the very real possibility that they would lose one member at some point, it was better if they could spend the time together without any doubts. "Well, since Horror, Action and Comedy are the ones we want the most, we should only select between these categories. So, does anyone have a dice or something else we could use to get a random result?"
