Current Graduation has happened - I am no longer a teacher. Won't have to work 12 hour days + weekends anymore, so maybe I'll actually have enough time for hobbies.

Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

Simon Graham


Location;; In his apartment
Interacting With;; Party Host (Clyde Harvey)


The day seemed to meticulously progress as Simon hummed in his small kitchen, cooking a light meal. People always assume blind people are totally inept and unable to even cook for themselves, but Simon was a living demonstration of why that belief was wrong! ...Or at least was after the first few years of his accident, when he became used to living blind. The barely audible, practically silent hum of his echolocation was nearly drowned out as he continued to mumble the lyrics to the song he had performed at "The Casalingo" only a day prior, and Simon was mainly cooking through the use of touch and feeling for the proper ingredients. Echolocation definitely was easier than feeling around looking for what he needed, but Simon was was far more comfortable using his sense of touch. He wasn't completely used to his echolocation yet, and while the sense of nausea was nearly nonexistent, he still preferred to have a little more time before using his echolocation constantly. The water soon began boil loudly, and Simon quickly began to stir the pot of noodles, realizing that he was busy lost in thought and wasn't paying attention.

Several minutes later, Simon was sitting in his living room with the television turned on, slowly eating the noodles with a delicate precision. Simon knew that it was kind of weird to have a television when you were blind, but he liked to have it for the guests that came over. He only ever listened to the news anyways, but the only thing that was on any of the channels were alerts and damage reports on the vicious storm that had struck a week ago. Simon listened carefully, wincing slightly at the damage costs, and even more when the dozens of missing citizens were reported. It seemed as if the number of missing was growing by the day... Simon quickly reached into his pocket as he his phone vibrate, before pulling out his cellphone - an older model with a braille keypad rather than the touch screen of newer phones. Answering it, he heard the unmistakable voice of a trainer from his local gym, someone who often helped him set the proper weights whenever he went. Simon instantly recognized it as Clyde Harvey.

"Hey, what's up Simon? Remember that time you said you owed me one when I spotted you on bench? Well, the gang and I were thinking about throwing a party down by the beach, and it would be great if you came and performe-"

"Clyde, I kind of meant that figuratively, since you always spot me on bench. Besides, why are you throwing a party? And if it's down by the shore, how am I supposed to get a piano down there?

"It's a 'Survivor of the Storm' party! Everyone around the city seems depressed about all the people who went missing and all the property damage, so we thought it would lift everyone's spirits to let loose and have some fun! Besides, you can play guitar, can't you? I've seen you play at The Bus Stop, so I know you can! And Steve went through so much trouble making the flyers! ...Which just so happened to say that you were going to play at the party... hehe..."

Simon sighed loudly. He sure as hell couldn't be angry at the guys - they had helped him more times than he could count when he was at the gym, and they were throwing the party to make people feel safer in there own city. He was scheduled to play at The Bus Stop today, and he knew that Clyde sure as hell didn't have the money to pay him what he would normally receive for a showing...

"Alright, I'll show up and play a song or two. But next time, ask me before you make a bunch of fliers saying I'm gonna be there, alright?"

"You got it! Thanks again Simon, it means a lot!"

Simon ended the call soon after Clyde finished talking. Simon knew the Bus Stop's manager for years, and he was pretty sure that he would be able to call out today. The Bus Stop wasn't really a place that needed music to complete the atmosphere, and it could survive a day or two without Simon there. Slowly rising from the couch and turning off the television, Simon closed his eyes and focused, as Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor Op. 23 seemingly started playing from thin air. Simon smiled slightly, appreciating that his power could be used as a form of recreation. He enjoyed the ability to play whatever music he wished, without having to cycle through his countless CDs to find the right song for the situation. Making his way to his bedroom, he gently grabbed his guitar, before setting to work tuning it. Simon always enjoyed practicing before he performed, he felt it allowed him to focus easier, get in the zone. Simon strummed the guitar, mulling over the possible songs he could perform at the party as the sounds of Tchaikovsky's strings drummed in his ears. After several seconds, Simon smiled slightly. Yes, of course. That would be perfect.

A slight ringing could be heard across the room, before a clearly robotic voice chimed out. "2 PM." Simon briefly realized he had not asked for when the party started, and resolved to simply arrive around 6 PM. Simon immediately began to practice his chosen song, preparing himself to practice for an hour or two before he left for the other side of town, the place he had unlocked his abilities.

The Lights.

Sorry about that, I can edit my post if you want. I wasn't sure who was going to introduce them, so I took a shot in the dark.
As the conversation between the trio of magical girls was coming to a close, Shiina's mind was a blur - She had met 2 new magical girls and, while Aegis-chan was pretty reluctant, she got both of their phone numbers! Since Shiina didn't have her phone on her, she left memorization up to Ogata. After all, since she had to give up most of her magical energy for Shiina to use her skills, she was mostly delegated to the secretary and radar role. While Ogata seemed mentally occupied with repeating the digits over and over, the other fairies seemed to sense a presence in the distance. Another magical girl, perhaps? Shiina grew hopeful a second, before the looks on Ariel and Megumi's faces faltered slightly.

"Negari just formed, and a good size one, too. It's a ways off, but coming towards us. I think it's sensed us. We've got maybe two minutes before it gets here."

Shiina's blood immediately ran cold. A good-sized Negari having just formed? Every time Shiina had seen a Negari, newly formed or not, it was always incredibly small, the largest she's ever seen being just over the size of a Great Dane, and doglike in shape... As thoughts rushed through her mind, she hardly heard the other girls speaking, and it took Ogata snapping her fingers directly next to her ear for Shiina to snap back to reality.

"Yo Pink, weren't you complaining about not having a big fight yet? Not to mention, you got backup. Don't wuss out and make me regret igniting your heart."

The last part was a bit hurtful, but Shiina knew that Ogata didn't mean it. That was her way of motivating Shiina when she was worried about something. Nodding her head slightly, she slowly lowered the three ribbons attached to her dress down to the ground, extending them and keeping herself steady. By the time she was 40 feet in the air, she was able to see the Negari in the distance, rapidly coming closer. Roughly estimating it's sizes, Shiina guessed it's height to be somewhere around 10-15' tall and it looked like it weighed at least 2 tons. The creature was jet black and it knocked cars out of it's path as it made it's way right towards the group of girls. at it's current pace, it would be on them in about 1 minute and 30 seconds, and Shiina was very thankful that there seemed to be a lack of civilians. Shiina was almost as thankful that this was a beast-like Negari, as the only humanoid Negari she had ever seen was small, like an imp, and was by far the smartest Negari she had ever faced. This Negari didn't seem intelligent in the slightest however, as it preferred to move on as direct of a path towards the girls as possible, throwing cars out of the way rather than walking around them. Still though this would be the toughest fight she would ever participate in, but the fact that 2 other magical girls were assisting her comforted her slightly. Shiina slowly lowered herself from where she was and, by the time she was back on the ground, they had about a minute left, and the Negari was clearly audible, snarling and scratching the streets with it's claws.



As soon as she made it down, Shiina immediately readied her ribbons, extending them to their maximum length of 50 feet and keeping them loose and cloth-like, so she would be able to quickly bind the creature. Shiina knew her role in combat soon after unlocking her power: she was best at support, and should only attack if the enemy is strong enough to break her restraints (and considering this thing was flipping cars with only mild effort, it wouldn't be too surprising if it could rip through steel. Shiina called out to the other girls, ready to snap her ribbons forwards and wrap the Negari the second it entered her range.

"Be ready guys, this thing is coming quick. Stay in the rear, Aegis-chan, only attack if you have a clear shot."

Shiina didn't really enjoy being bossy, but she just wanted to make sure Aegis was safe. After all, her powers didn't seem that good at range unless she had a rock or something to push, and Shiina didn't think it would be a good idea to attack in melee, and the glowing blue sphere in her hand seemed that it would be pretty ranged. Just as the Negari came into view, Shiina immediately focused, poising her ribbons in unison to bind it when it got close.

I'm perfectly fine with playing someone else, if it would cause too much of a plot problem. I just love the bad ass normal guy trope and was checking to see if it was okay.

Edit: If you don't mind me asking, what would be the available age ranges of our vampires/ Werewolves be? The title of oldest is already taken for both species, and I was thinking of making a vampire infected during the wild west. Would that be too old?
