Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

“No harem for me, thanks.”

— Su Fang

_@ERode

Everything had Su so flustered that she nearly forgot about her walkie-talkie stone thing. But as soon as she put it to her ear, Helga had already arrived.

“Oh, um, you found me.”

Su looked at the group of girls that were following Helga. It was probably nothing but Su couldn’t help but feel cheated. She was usually fine with Helga being around other girls, but she had to be really partying to have a group this big following her. If she had just been casually talking with a few of them, she’d be in Su’s position. Su was even gifted with magical charisma. Helga shouldn’t have had time to get so many at once. She wasn’t jealous or anything, but she had to question Helga’s loyalty to their relationship if she was going to do things like this. That music was really starting to grade on her eardrums.

Su pointed towards the back rooms. “I saw Mika go that way, Rina followed her.” She gave Helga a nod. “I’ll be right behind you.” Once Helga and crew left, Su turned her attention back to Lei Zi.

Perhaps Su couldn’t get a harem, but Su was never about going for quantity. Quality, on the other hand, was something Su enjoyed in excess. Over Su’s many memories gathered from many lives, it was always quality that drove her on. And while there were a lot of people present in this rave, She felt Lei Zi was the clear superior choice out of everyone present. It was hard to beat a dutiful shrine maiden. She seemed to be a good sort, and was just as disgusted with Penrose as Su was. There was the matter of being married, but that didn’t bother Su much. If that was from Lei Zi’s old life, then she likely hasn’t been in contact with her old spouse for a long time. Su had been a concubine in one of her previous lives, and was use to having competition. She knew it was just a matter of time before the loneliness got to her. It wasn’t like she needed a serious relationship to show Helga what she was capable of.

Su placed a hand on Lei Zi’s shoulder and pointed at some incoming monster girls. Her dread wings sprung out of her back and thrust towards each incoming threat. It didn’t kill them, but it was enough to knock them down, aside from one who was swift enough to grab hold. But her wing just thrashed and slammed the girl into the wall, causing her to let go and writhe in pain. “I just remembered I could do that.” Su chuckled. Her wings fluttered in the air, like black ribbons following the current of a river. ”Thank you for allowing my friends to leave. If you’d like to usher in some destruction, we could probably do that now.”

"Smoke no taste good bleh!"

— Trixy

"Dang it!"

Despite everyone’s best efforts, it seemed Vi had escaped. It was a bitter sweet moment for Trixy. Putting down other magical girls was not something she enjoyed doing. Especially if they were cute. But if they were serial murderers, well, sometimes you needed to kill a spider to save a few butterflies.

That was when Trixy got the message to retreat from Veronica.

"They arrived already? I only got off a single shot! Vi’s on the run and-"

“Vi is small fry. Justine is still working for Father, and she converted a girl right in front of my eyes. For all we know, Vi could be the same way.”

"Son of a!" If there was one thing that boiled Tetrad’s beans more than someone who killed cute girls, it was someone who brainwashed them and used them to kill more cute girls. The idea of Justine converting Samantha, Elise, or Betty was just too sinister to think of. But that wasn’t her mission. She had to try and stop a war. "Joining up with Tetrad!"

Fortunately, Trixy wasn’t too far away from Tetrad’s location. She shoved the door open and forced her way inside. Once she was out of the smoke, she ate her mask and stepped into the corner. "Ready for drop!"

“Hmmm, do they even need you, I wonder?”

Trixy looked to Tetrad, who just shrugged. It sounded like Veronica was divided on where to send her two agents. But the cradle was opening up under their feet. Wherever they ended up, they’d be ready to fight.

"I was ready to go out the cool way TYVM!"

— Dusty

_{@ERode@Flamelord}

All Dusty wanted to do was survive the night. Barring that, all dusty wanted to do was save someone. Now she had no idea where Shade was, and the girl she was trying to save was saving her instead. It was nice, but it did make Dusty feel a little useless. Having said that, Dusty would never complain about getting picked up by a cute girl. Even if it was a bit more literal than she would normally admit.

"R-run everywhere? Eh, would it be better to follow a wall?" Dusty placed her fingers against the side of her head. "Oh crap! They’re here! We’re sealed in!" Dusty nibbled on her fingers. "They’re talking about alternate exits though. B-but I can’t see!" She looked to Liss’s other shoulder. "Old guy! You’ve got to have something to help us! Help uuuuuuuhuhuhuhuhuhuhhzzzz!" Dusty blubbered.

@Mateotis @Majoras End @FamishedPants

Post has been made, collab links sent to erryone (cept you mayjay, you're weird so send me the pad you like to use)

I'll let you guys start because you are the PCs and I'm just the evil GM overlord who controlls the faceless NPCs and baddies. we're telling your story.

As for missions: Just access the 4th floor. Temptation might be to just follow a single staircase to the top, but remember the sisters can look through the cameras and follow absolutely no rules. Also Monika still exists. good luck.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

Olivia simply waited. She sipped her coffee as Davis explained what everyone wanted to do. They walked outside and talked to the death game survivors one by one. There were language barriers, but their message came out loud and clear. The world needed to heal, and all of these separate individuals were stronger working together than apart. No longer were Olivia, Davis, Makoto, and Byakuya in their office. They had walked up and down hope’s peak to find all the scattered survivors, and were now standing in an auditorium. It seemed like the best place to gather so many people.

”So this is what everyone wants? And end to Hope’s peak?” Makoto wasn’t looking at anyone when he said this.

Davis shrugged his shoulders. "It will live on in spirit." The mastermind folded his arms. "I mean look at it this way, the Infinity Initiative’s goal is pretty close to Hope’s Peak. Minus all the human experimentation."

Byakuya looked at the group of people before him. ”My resources are abundant. I’m the wealthiest man in the world.” He turned to Makoto. ”Though there are enough billionaires here to put any single idividual’s wealth to shame. You could build a number of schools.”

”Schools are good n’ all, but we sorely need food too. Food n’ homes n’ hospitals. Can’t forget about the bloody internet.” Olivia quietly sipped her coffee.

”So she can speak without cussing.”

”Okay.” Makoto took a deep breath. ”But even so, we still need someone to head everything.”

Davis patted Makoto on the back. "I think it should be left up to a vote. As in, the leader is an infinite talent that is voted in by all other infinite talents. They will of course be joined by a council that helps ensure a fair and just rule. Though the number two seat should be permanent."

Byakuya gave Davis a sideways glance. ”And who would fill this seat? You?”

Davis grinned. "I’m beginning to think you don’t care for your temp teacher."

”Wait, really?” Makoto blinked.

Byakuya groaned. ”You might have been sick that day. He did a single class with us before departing for America.”

"None of that really matters now I guess.." Davis paced around Makoto. "As for who the seat belongs to, they’re one of the few people who have been in more than one killing game." He leaned in to whisper a name.

Shona drew her sword and held it up. "While I will willingly lay down my life to save an innocent, I refuse to die in vain." She turned her sword sideways. Unlike last time, her sword was made of steel. A rather fine blade too, not that there were any experts present. "I know you are not fond of me, but I feel that I would do more good if I stuck by your side."

Jezebel folded her arms. “Like, I’m good at fighting too!”

”Then I’m coming with you!” Emily marched over to the group.

Lucy looked at them, then back at Daimyon. ”We should probably split our number up. We’re sitting ducks if we all travel together.” She stepped beside Daimyon. ”I’ll go with Daimyon. I’m not going to pretend like I have any kind of combat training, but-”

Denis, infinite spy, twirled a hand gun before holstering it. He also had a billy club shoved into one of his pockets. ”I protect you.” he said before moving in with Daimyon ”I know how I protect you.”

Cyrus adjusted his glasses. ”We should be fine. Our team only has one trained fighter, but we are otherwise all fit and should be able to outrun the sisters.” He stepped over to Daimyon. ”I hope everyone makes it to the top, but in this game of death, it’s rare to see someone get a second chance. I hope you make it to the top, Shona.”

"I am more concerned for my companions, but your words are apriciated, Cyrus."

”Okay!” Lucy snapped her fingers. ”We’re all armed? Done saying goodbye? Let’s roll out!” And with that, they split up.

---

Meanwhile, in a dark room, Davis watched the infinites scramble.

"Perhapse letting Alice join the game was an oversight."

”How boring.”

Davis looked over his shoulders at a man standing over his shoulder. "Izuru, do you think it’s possible for the ultimate human to beat the ultimate killer robot?"

There was a short pause before he walked out of the room.

"Wonder what crawled up hiss ass. I almost hope he loses."

Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

”SAMEEEEEHHHHHHHH!”

— Nuncio

_{@PlatinumSkink@ERode}

”Sammy!?”

Up until now, the thought that Sammy would one day be placed back in his arms felt like a fantasy. He had switched perspectives from Fabio to Rosa, allowing him to hear what was transpiring.

”Alright Amaryllis, protect the portal. Rosa and I’ll get Sammy outa there! ”

Fabio let out a mew before retreating through the portal. In his Place, Nuncio came running in and hopped on top of Rosa's back. ”Don't worry Sammy! I'm commin' for ya!” The tiger ran all the way down the stairs and turned to the little detective. She was locked in a cage, covered in runes and other forms of magical protection. With a growl, Rosa lifted her paw into the air. Nuncio channeled all of his power into her arm, causing it to swell. The muscles bulged, the claws glowed like embers, and with a swing the latch was ripped apart. Nuncio reached into the cage and pulled Sammy into his arms. ”Oh god!” He pulled her close to his chest. He would have liked to have held her longer, but there would be time for that later. ”Amaryllis and her friend came for ya too! Let's get outa here so ya can see 'em again!” With a roar, Rosa powered her way back up the stairs. With any luck, they'd escape before reinforcements arrive.

---

“Well now what am I suppose to do?”

— Tetrad

All Tetrad wanted to do was dance with a boy, but he turned out to be an acid guzzling masochist. Her fortune seemed to change with the others arrival, only for him to nope out with a passing comment. Just as she planned on rejoining the rave, two ascendancy members pushed past her, followed by plumes of black smoke.

“Nope!”

Tetrad closed the door to the rave and backed away. It was time to call Veronica again.

“We should probably think about catching up to Ronin now, huh?”

“Secure a location, Trixy will be joining you for transport shortly.”

Tetrad found a quiet side room and stepped inside. She really hated waiting, but there wasn’t much else she could do. “It’s worth noting that the assassin was brainwashed. My investigation was interrupted before I could learn more. There also seems to be a secret exit, but I was unable to identify its location.”

“Understood. Prepare for transport.” She sounded annoyed, but Tetrad chose not to question it. It was hard to believe Veronica could be as stoic as she was.

---

”Nothin’ personal, kid.”

”Lotus, what did I say?”

— Lotus & Faith

_@AtomicNut

”Hmmm, I was expecting more.” Lotus stroked her chin as Cindy and Ishtar talked. ”She seems quite meek for a leader. I have no desire to crush such weaklings.”

Faith was hugging one of Lotus’s arms. ”Can we be sure she sent the assassin? Those other girls seemed to find it questionable.” The joy in her voice was completely gone.

Then there was conflict, then Beacon arrived. Slylvia’s stream of bullets were aimed at everyone. With a swing of Faith’s harp, luminescent strands of sheet music floated into the air. Though it seemed Reaver had the same idea, so it was largely unessisary.

”Hrm!” Lotus turned to Faith. ”You could have been hurt!”

Faith scratched the back of her head. ”Just end the fighting Lotus, but be gentle! They’re only here to protect their friends.”

Lotus turned towards Sylvia. ”Hmmmm, how about hitting something that fights back?” Lotus’s body split into three duplicates that flew towards Sylvia’s position. Regardless of how accurate she was, she would not be able to destroy all the clones. And by some rotten stroke of luck, the one that she didn’t manage to hit would be the real one. But this was natural.

It was just an illusion.

When Lotus had split apart, what she really did was turn herself invisible and teleported behind Sylvia. She simply waited for her illusions to come close before attacking, thus giving the illusion of superior agility. Though in the event Sylvia was wise to her trick, she’d be forced to attack prematurely. With Reaver charging, Lotus in such close proximity, and Sylvia holding a massive weapon, it would be difficult for her to escape.

”Heya!” She wrapped her arms and tentacles around Sylvia, and her limbs began to pulse. Lotus was able to draw the life force out of things that she touched, and she was taking advantage of that power now. She tried to wrench Sylvia backwards, so that her minigun was pointed towards the sky. Lotus also aimed two of her tentacles at the twins and fired a thick black ink at them.

”I’m totally not a tsundery. B-baka!”

— Veronica

_{@FamishedPants@ERode@Majoras End}

Veronica watched the events unfold with little emotion or commentary. She watched the events unfold much like a scientist would examine an experiment. In the end though, Justine, Sonia, and Betty vanished. Veronica wiggled her fingers. They had previously rested on Justine’s shoulder, but now held nothing but air.

“Justine still works for Father, good to know.” Unfortunate that only “true” love could harm Justine. Veronica was pretty sure that she ensured she was impossible to love, and love itself was something no one in Veronica’s agency could employ. Unfortunate, but there were other ways to bring down Justine.

Veronica was only getting more irritated as time progressed, and she couldn’t understand why. It wasn’t an unforeseeable outcome. Some might get upset that their bodyguard had been brainwashed, but she was expendable, really. It was endearing how she constantly worried about everyone, and they were together all the time. But all the same, Betty and Veronica were not friends. That went for Samantha too. She was upset with her poor performance here, and it had nothing to do with the fact that she hadn’t noticed Veronica had dressed up as an idol for her. The fact that most of her agents were stuck in this deathtrap wasn’t a problem either. Expendable, the lot of them. She only wanted to learn more about Maura to ensure she wasn’t a Mint spy. It wasn’t like she was interested in getting closer to her. She only put up with Trixy’s constant flirting because she was a good strategist, and didn’t find it endearing. She felt nothing for Elise’s past failures. Tetrad was just a tool. So was Deni. She might have been hooked up to her agents thoughts, experienced the world the way they did, but that didn’t mean that she felt empathy towards them.

And she clearly wasn’t lying to herself.

But then why did she have this migraine? It didn’t matter, this was a prelude to a showdown.

“Sam.” Veronica turned to look at Silhouette. “This situation greatly displeases me. You couldn’t contend with a single girl?” The words left Veronica’s mouth in a growl. “No matter, we’re going after them. But you will not fail me a second time… I have faith in your abilities. Meet me outside and we will discuss this further.”

At a glance it might have seemed like Veronica’s gambit had failed and cost her a body guard. But this was a foreseeable outcome with a planned contingency. Justine had called Betty a gift, but she was much closer to a Trojan horse. Cradle agents had a close connection with each other, and could tell where they were in relation to their position. Betty had just been transported outside, and it was likely that Justine and Sonia were there with her. So long as they held onto their “gift,” They would be easy to track. Though it was important that Veronica didn’t let them get too far away. She looked at a ring on her finger, one with a brilliant red gemstone.

Veronica turned to look at the ascendancy members as they rolled in and brandished their weapons. “What? There’s smoke everywhere, how can you even see us?” She placed a finger to the side of her head. “Trixy, it’s only a matter of time before we succumb to this music. Get to Tetrad and get to the park now! Maura, Tetrad mentioned a secret exit, see if you and your girls can find anything in the back rooms.”

With her orders given, it was time to press on.

Veronica turned to Dolly and sighed. No point leaving her here. She knew she was wasting her time. This was clearly a surrogate or something. Its personality was likely manufactured, and trying to protect it would not bring Veronica any closerto the person controlling it. Not that she wanted that anyway. Certainly not.

”I'll feel it all, dulled by pain.”

A nova of dark energy shot out of Veronica. A black tar like substance bubbled over her flesh. Even if Dolly looked like a small woman, she was pretty heavy. Yet veronica had no difficulty taking her under her arm. With Dolly securely under her arm, she walked towards the exit.

”I'll hear it all, muted by screams. ”

Blood shot out of her ears, which soon became the roses on her head piece. Her crimson shoes beat against the stairs as she charged towards the Beacon girls. They could swing at her, open fire, but it wouldn’t matter.

”I'll see it all… Devoured by darkness.”

“Well I’ll be taking my loli, and leaving.”

— Veronica

Veronica sunk into the shadows with Dolly and raced past Beacon reinforcements. The rave lights were bright, but all the smoke and it being night out gave Veronica ample opportunities to slip by. Even the barrier posed little problem for her, as she just phased through the shadows. Veronica maneuvered between two warehouses and set down Dolly. At this point, Veronica was entirely covered in her magical girl uniform.

“With any luck, we weren’t discovered.” Veronica was referring more to Justine than Beacon. Chances were pretty good she hadn't been spotted, as the monster's aura was still going strong. But nothing was ever certain when it came to magic. She’d keep an eye on any sudden movements Betty made. “What is necessary to conclude the contract? I have prepared a single effect from agent Blair. If you require more than that, I’ll need some time to confront my other agents when operations aren’t in progress.”

”Boy am I glad scene transitions can happen instantly, regardless if you have a portal or not!”

Sorry Veronica. Boss's orders.

Unfortunately, she wouldn't be making it up to her any time soon. She had to run to the park before more bad stuff happened. That wouldn't be too hard with her new abilities. She was strong and fast, and could practically run on the walls. If something couldn't get out of her way, she could just trample it. There wasn't much reason to use her magic here, save for staying hidden. Though she was glad she had prepared for the next encounter, as she had used up a bit more than she had anticipated keeping Veronica in check. That, and she had beefed up Viper's disguise before she had even slipped inside the Rave. That should buy her a bit more time to arrive.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

Yea, I'll take care of all of that once I get the next post up.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

So far things look like this?

SPADE:

Alice Emilia Masson: Infinite Recon
Henry "Deimo" Masson: Infinite Pianist
Isaiah "Ice" Matthews: Infinite Blood Donor
(Full, Possibly George)

CLUB:

Daimyon Londe: Infinite Poet
Cyrus Brandon: Infinite Politician
Denis Orlov: Infinite Spy
Lucy Fairglave: Infinite Prodigy

DIAMOND is unbreakable:

Zachary Ackerson: Infinite Archer
Jezebel Volcov: Infinite Trickster
Shona Moffett: Infinite Knight
Emily "Ellie" Rishima: Infinite Caretaker

HEART:

Alice Parker: M U G E N
(FULL)

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

I forgot to include George. I think he's catching up with SPADE. (Hence the ? near full) but he might also be a mad enough lad to try at it solo.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

Definitely feel Cyrus or Emily. If Mate plans on having Daimyon in his own group, he could play as Cyrus if he wanted to be in more than 1 collab.

Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage (Finished!)

@Mateotis @Majoras End @FamishedPants

I didn't post yet, I will though. For now we just gotta discuss some things.

I think the climb to the top of the tower would play out better if it was done as collabs instead of the usual posts we've been doing. You guys remember those days right? Yea, so we're going to do that.

Essentially the infinites are going to split up so that they aren't a giant walking bullseye for the seemingly infinite number of carnage sisters headed their way. Each collab is going to document each group's climb to the top of the tower. To help streamline the process you guys need to decide on squads. Here's what I've worked out based on character motivations and events in the RP.

SPADE:

Alice Emilia Masson: Infinite Recon
Henry "Deimo" Masson: Infinite Pianist
Isaiah "Ice" Matthews: Infinite Blood Donor
(FULL?)

CLUB:

DIAMOND is unbreakable:

Zachary Ackerson: Infinite Archer
Jezebel Volcov: Infinite Trickster

HEART:

Alice Parker: M U G E N
(FULL)

Alice Masson has grabbed her brother and husbando and left, and Alice parker is blazing a trail straight into the heart of hell. This leaves the "club" and "Diamond" teams to fill up their rosters. Of course, there can be more or less teams, but the thing is this. You guys need to choose who your Apocalypse survival group is and head out.

The following infinites need to be assigned to a team:

Daimyon Londe: Infinite Poet
Shona Moffett: Infinite Knight (preferably one with Daimyon OR Zachary)

The following infinites may be assigned to a team:

Cyrus Brandon: Infinite Politician
Denis Orlov: Infinite Spy
Lucy Fairglave: Infinite Prodigy
Emily "Ellie" Rishima: Infinite Caretaker

You can also write collabs that are actually recipes. Like this one for Pizza.
