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

”Not even death can save you from me!”

— ????, ??????

Sometimes Sophia dreamed. Every once in a while they were vivid enough to be a movie. They felt less like dreams and more like past experiences. Sometimes they were scary, other times sad. Though they could also be happy. This dream looked like it was going to be a good one. Not that Sophia knew it was a dream. That was something she would realize when she woke up.

If there was something surreal about these types of dreams, it was her own body. She was always very small and acted differently than she normally did. Sophia wasn’t even sure if it was her body. Though to be fair, the body she currently possessed wasn’t hers either.

---

Before her was a plate filled with spaghetti, topped with red sauce and meatballs. The only other person sitting with her was a tall, youthful looking girl with white pigtails and a velvet black dress They were seated around a small table that was resting on top of a building. Aside from the stars, a single candle was the only thing providing light. It was just bright enough for ambience, but it flickered with the wind. Most of these details were background noise to Sophia. She was eating, and you couldn’t get much better than hot pasta on a brisk evening.

”I’m sorry.” The woman across from her apologized. ”If I could maintain my human form for longer than an hour, I could make all sorts of food. But you’re stuck with pasta and defrosted meatballs.”

Sophia didn’t look up from her meal. ”It’s fine! Any meal I don’t have to make myself is a good one.” She twirled spaghetti on her fork and took a bite. ”Mmm! Tasty!”

The woman sighed. ”So, I’ve been thinking about us.”

”Yea, me to.”

”Really?”

Sophia tipped her head back and slurped all of the spaghetti off of her fork. ”Mmm!” She looked across the table. ”Yea! Boteg has been running us all over the country for, erm, whatever it is he’s searching for. We need a vacation!”

”Like a date?”

Sophia could hear the excitement in her voice, but was too busy eating a meatball to look at her. ”Interesting word choice, but yea! We could go to the beach. There isn’t one too far from here.”

”I got us swimsuits already!”

”Well blow me down!” Her plate was nearly clean, but she had to get those last few pieces of spaghetti. ”But I don’t know if I want to go to the beach in a swimsuit.”

”Why not?”

”It just wouldn’t feel right, you know? Not without my old body. I mean I don’t know any beach guys who would want a kinder gardener for a girlfriend.” She laughed.

”Well.” The white haired girl inhaled. ”What if there was a woman who appreciated you for exactly how you were?”

”Hah!” Sophia lowered her empty plate onto the table. ”Yea, maybe if I get desperate enough. I don’t think I could ever love a woman. That seems like something you do after you get turned down by everyone else.” Sophia wiped her mouth with a napkin before hopping out of her seat. ”Dinner was good Sue, thanks a lot!” She started to walk away. ”It might still be fun to collect sea shells. We haven’t really decorated the ship much. Maybe we could even just walk around town and hit up all the garage sales.” When Sophia didn’t get an answer, she turned around. Sue was still seated at the table, covering her face with her arms.

”Sue?”

The woman cried when her name was called out.

”Sue? Did you get all dressed up because… Oh come here,” Sophia ran towards Sue as fast as her little legs could carry her. ”Hey!” With a single leap, she landed on top of the table. ”Hey, listen, listen!” She pet Sue’s head, and eventually the woman looked up at her. Her face was all red, and she was using her arm to cover her eyes. ”Sue, look at me.” Sophia pulled Sue’s arm out of the way. ”I…” She hesitated. ”I do love you Sue, just not in the romantic way.” Sue began sobbing again and covered her face with her other arm. ”No, no! Stop that! Come here!” Sophia hopped off the table and dragged Sue along. ”Lay down right here, on your back, now!” Sue did as she was instructed. Sophia laid beside her, with their heads touching. ”Now look up in the sky.” It was hard to tell what Sue was looking at, but she seemed to be calming down. ”Now, what do you see?”

”I-I see Ophiuchus and Hercules.”

”I just see stars, but that’s a good answer, good answer.” Sophia inhaled deeply. ”But it’s beautiful, right?”

”Yes.”

Sophia stayed quiet for a moment. ”They’re very pretty, but we can’t have them.”

”That’s not like you at all. Y-You’re right here.”

Sophia dragged her tiny hand over her face. ”Yea, that sounded better in my head.” She looked to Sue, but didn’t move her head. ”The fact of the matter is Sue, you are my best friend. I’ve been a magical girls for, what? 9 months now? It’s you Sue, not Boteg, not that Beacon girl who happily let me steal her purification artifact, you.” Sophia sat upright. ”You’ve been alive for a long time right? Fifty something years? You don’t know me that well.”

”I’ve been in love before. Many times.” Sue didn’t move from her spot. ”I know what this feels like.”

”And you’ll fall in love again.” Sophia sighed. ”Look, I want my old body back, you want me. We’re both hunting for something, Boteg too. I think that’s why I continue to help him. I find his cause relatable.” Sophia walked towards Sue and smiled. ”I know I’m going to get the body I want eventually. Might not be my original one, but it’ll happen. You’re going to fall in love with someone too. Won’t be me, but it’ll be someone you can care deeply about. I’m sure Boteg will get what he wants too. We just need to be vigilant and keep searching.” She extended her hand. ”You’re still going to be my first mate though. At least for a while longer.”

Sue took Sophia’s hand and pulled herself up. There was a smile on her face. ”I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Sue sniffed the air. ”Is something burning?”

Sophia turned her head to the candle lit dinner scene. ”Gah!” It seemed the candle fell over onto the table cloth, and the wind fanned the flames into an inferno. In an instant, Sophia was surrounded by a wall of water, and she emerged with a ship’s cannon in her hands. When she fired it, a stream of water hit the table hard enough to split it in half. What remained of the table was thrown off the building. ”Ehh, let’s hope that doesn’t hurt anyone.”

Momotaro

Shopping Center

---

The male servant raised an eyebrow as he walked alongside his master, both materialized and his arms crossed/hidden into his long kimono sleeves.

"Well, I believe that blue, gold, peach, and red would be my favorites. Usually these would apply as favorites in regards to my own attire, however, of which I have always preferred a proper kimono or yukata."

Momotaro felt a light chill run up his back for a brief moment as he looked back at his master, though swiftly shooed the feeling away as he focused on the matter at hand. Yes, his master would go about shopping at the very least and walk around to get some fresh air. It was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless. Then perhaps after a nice meal he could direct her to the park for a bit at least. Or something of the sort.

Yet he too felt disappointed that she had assumed he wanted Tamafries! Clearly homemade kibi dango were the superior snack food in all the world! No amount of Americanized junk food would compare in his eyes. Though...perhaps his rose-tinted nostalgia goggles were superglued onto his face, in a manner of speaking.

She is casting retro way just at the start here cause elves are old school yo mainly when she's in that more 'mechanical' mindset she's falling back on. In this mental state casts the super retro way her old crusty high elf teacher taught her, which would have been the first casting method worked into her (before learning the other stuff). Thought it'd be a nice old school touch. XD

But outside of involvement with undead, where that mindset kicks in for her, she will be swiftly segway-ing back into more modern stuff and silent casting otherwise. :P

Could she learn metamagic at some point down the line? Idk if that is Sorceress-locked or anything of the ilk in this particular universe. :O

Yinha Karathros

---

The High Elf grit her teeth a little as her arm was twisted in a sick Indian burn by the feral corpse, the pain very much palpable from the twisting and zombie being on fire and all, but it all would not last too long. Before it could go beyond, or get help from its brethren, the corpse would eventually and summarily crumple into a flaming and properly slain heap on the floor from the combination of fire and holy damage tearing into it. It only left some minor wounds on Yinha's left arm, but while the minor damage was visible...at the very least it was not anything serious. Before the other corpses could grab onto her, however, Yinha began to run to the side along the the front wall as her angelic summon began to follow orders...and begin trying to cleave zombie heads with its sword while trying to knock others over with its shield.

As the Angelic Mage all too well know, these things were dangerous in number despite their individual weakness. Yet at least she could move faster than their meager shuffling movements, and had...'experience' in this type of situation. A light shudder ran down her back as she every so faintly recalled some of that past, as her mind pushed out the thoughts forcefully to return her to the current situation. Yes. She could not afford to be distracted.

Furthermore, it seemed she was not the only one in need of help.

"Holy Restoration! Holy Restoration!! Holy Restoration!!!"

The Angelic Mage cast her spell as she ran, after hearing the bellowing of the Paladin nearby and that of the rather large Lizardman fighting the 'necromancer' in question. A couple of Holy Restorations were cast in succession as Yinha actively sought to avoid the zombies and get around them towards where Kaze was. Or, if the latter wasn't possible, kite the slow shambling corpses somewhat in the meantime. Better than nothing, at least, and especially better than standing still to get grabbed by zombies.

Kaze and Vani would each find themselves covered in a very faint glow of light, the former also finding his vision returning as the spell removed the single negative status effect/debuff from him, as for the next thirty seconds they would find their wounds healing some while they fought on. Even the broken body of the still not-dead Archer would be coated in the same light, and begin to heal some over the next thirty seconds. A handy spell in Yinha's arsenal to be sure, but even so-

"Could use some help here!"

-...why did everyone always go for the healer?! She knew the strategic reasoning, which was sound, but it still felt exasperating to her even in that more mechanical mindset of hers.

Momotaro

Streets of Fusang, Headed Towards A Park, Sino-Japanese Quarter

---

The Japanese heroic spirit merely gave a light 'shrug', as the modern world so termed it, before giving a soft smile to Charlotte. At least she was thinking of things to do while out here, that was good! Yes, a good start to better habits overall to accompany the girl's studiousness. Or perhaps his hopes were getting a tad high at the moment. Frankly, though, he didn't much care either way. Progress was progress.

"I was hoping to get you to at least sit upon a bench and get some fresh air. That and walking back home if nothing else," Momotaro said, giving a soft but polite chuckle before continuing, "Of course, if you would wish to eat or shop about some first I would be happy to follow."

However, if she had tried to run back to her hidey hole in an instant he felt he might have summoned Monkey to grab her. A rash decision that would have been, but in the end he was merely concerned with Charlotte's health. Good habits nourished the mind! Such was the wisdom of his own human parents, in an age where the oni had been at the top of the food chain before he came along. That and her seeming inclination, at least to his eyes somewhat, to seemingly treat a 'Servant' as a 'servant' more than the powerful 'could kill someone if they get pissed off heroic spirit' familiars they were. Ah. She did have him there for her, at least, too help with any mess and 'problem people' or their servants. One thing at a time, however, just one thing at a time to try to help foster her growth.

"...Can almost smell those Tamafries from here...," the Rider-class servant quietly mumbled under his breath to himself, attempting to be subtle about it at least.

*Yinha's arm just falls off*

"...Tis but a scratch."

@XaltwindShould i say anything about the zombie dying in my post, if it won't last that long with the dual damage? Or just let you continue? Just to ask at least, ah, i mean.
