Grimoiric Heart

The Holiday and post holiday season is a pretty tiring tome of year

Tower of Fable

Kanbaru Otoko

There was a lot that happened and a lot that Kanbaru just had to ignore, the Abyss a place she found increasingly confusing just for how people and events were want to come and go with seemingly no measure of reason behind them. Perhaps if her parasite was more cooperative they could have kept track but she wasn't inclined to, so Kanbaru settled for tugging down the brim of her hat and continueing on in their flight from the untouchable miasma choking life from the Abyss.

A cheap adversary, and Kanbaru didn't know if she longed to crush the source of it or leave it behind entirely so it was someone else's problem. If she couldn't freeze, shoot, punch, or stab something, it was simply a headache for the whale. Kneading her temple as she felt the stirring of a more tangible cranial pressure, she found herself mounting a staircase of slashing light and shadow.

One with a particular voice that had her halt mid-step. The belated fall of her foot was heavy and sounded like an uproar to her strained ears as she focused on her surroundings with a heightened sense of tension. Her sword was in hand, balanced on her shoulder not for comfort, but to better bring it down on whomever borrowed that voice. A voice that shouldn't be here, when even her Serei was long absent.

"I'm more real then you, impostor." Kanbaru retorted icily, forcing down the desire to snarl as she begrudgingly continued up the steps. "If she were here she'd be running this shitty Abyss, so don't waste my time when you can't grasp how awesome she was- Is."

Suzuya Kuzunoha

Though the numbers of Magical Girls swelled in a short time frame, and not an iota of reinforcement had arrived for the Pageless, their desperation only drove them to new heights of ferocity. She'd barely alighted on a girder before they rose, clambering upon one another in a rising tide of claws to snatch the last page of her own personal story. With a look of cold contempt she slashed and leapt, the fires of her heart burning brighter as she culled the tides crashing around her.

A girl with her hands folded in prayer commanded a moment of her attention, first for the brazen display of her own defenselessness in the face of so many foes, and second for the boon she offered. Burning Heart smiled then, her heel alighting upon a vertical beam and launching her downwards to the ground amidst a thick knot of Pageless not yet crushed by the whalloping of a Monkey or the lasers of an Angel.

"I do promise to burn like the brightest star in the sky!" Suzuya consummated her oath pulling a heavy mace wrapped in bands of studded iron from her tail, smashing it to the ground to pulp the darkness into a murky paste. When oath met actions her flames tripled in their intensity, including the arrow wall still burning amidst the steel girders. A light to banish the dark, refusing to smothered even by weight of Pageless perishing atop them.

Taking a second to admire the display brought her focus upon Lilac struggling, herself positioned as the seeming last direct line of defense between the bewitched people and their would-be-executioners. Her mace was left with nary a glance and she bounded back to the perimeter they'd built, finding the air delightful hot after a night of misty gloom, with Lilac being pushed to draw her sword in a vicious melee with the angel hovered above them.

"You fight well." Her greeting preceeded her arriving in a flurry of motion, drawing a fresh Naginata in a spinning slash that brought her to Lilac's side in a mess of Pageless ichor. The many tails of gold and fire brushed the other girl's back without harm, their softness almost ticklish before Suzuya moved to her side with a fierce, excited expression. "But we will fight better together."

I'll post on Monday.

Grimoiric Heart

And the only fully approved character who doesn’t have existing plans but isn’t here is Fazzer’s. They’ll get here on their own time table :3

Grimoiric Heart

They don’t much care for outright deleting posts in my experience, and there’s nothing wrong with Magical Girls showing up late

Grimoiric Heart

Suzuya: Shouts in weaboo at story eating monsters while an angel in a bridal gown floats around.

Pageless: Thought they left this shit behind in Japan.

Suzuya Kuzunoha

London was foggy and dreary, the lights carrying a fuzzy quality as they failed to pierce the gloom of the dark. It was something that made stepping out at night so much more threatening then it did in her home city, what few times Suzuya dared to stray from her routine to experiment with her Grimoire. Her hand snaked across her chest and gripped an arm hanging at her side, a tight grip as she buried her nose into a thick scarf.

She thumped the Grimoire at her hip, a feeling like sparks racing across her skin. Again, a rhythm building. The beating of a heart, building in strength as life surged in her breast. Her eyes closed and the heart grew strong, till the pulse continued long after her fingers stilled.

I don't know anyone here. This isn't my town, these aren't even my people, and what I do will go unheeded and unthanked. I could die and my family will have to put a tombstone over an empty grave. Her thoughts were heavy with worry, doubts gripping her in their bony clutches as the Grimoire turned to liquid fire, sweeping up her arm and-

Burned the doubt away. Burning Heart lifted her head, two fluffy ears sprouting from the crown of her head while nine tails of impossible volume sprung naturally from the base of her spine. Her boots are sensible and her clothes familiar to her regen, yet her arms, stomach, and legs were exposed to the air in a brazen display lacking any modesty. Youthful yet powerful, a visage Suzuya would be hard pressed to attempt outside her current state.

With a smile on her face she turned towards the darkness, the Pageless a stark contrast to her own radiance. She was on street level and could see the pinpricks of distant figures shuffling drawn to the construction sight. With a motion tha flowed with ease, the tip of her tail came to her outstretched hand, and a longbow of laquered wood settled in her grasp. Standing a head taller then she was, Burning Heart took it by the string, drew back, and bounded forward.

The cool of night didn't matter any longer. It went unfelt, unheeded, lost in the haze of heat wafting from her. Between one step and the next her breath stilled and she loosed an arrow of flame, each arcing upwards, hanging like a sun set to fall upon the darkness of night before coming down.

Thunk. Thunk. Thunk. The sounds of arrows striking compacted earth, hitting not the pageless but creating a cordon around the people they lured. Even the most delerious, spellbound people couldn't overcome the primal response to fire, a fear so deeply ingrained in human history it was a story all its own.

Advancing by leaps and bounds, the bow fell away into a windswept tail as another pushed forward, the long handle of a naginata coming loose just as her foot struck the fence, propelling her into the land of gurders and prowling pageless just as an angel descended. A star from the heavens and a sun from the streets launching forward, tails darting out to launch her upwards from a girder, right into the maws of creeping Pageless that found it's end with a decapitating slash.

Coming out of a spin upon the very rafters populated by creatures who fed on life, Burning Heart shimmered with rising heat as the first of many pageless tasted her steel.

"Come and meet me, meet your overdue demise!" She barked, crisp and clear in her accented Japanese.

Grimoiric Heart

I’ll see about posting tommorow.

I feel bad for the guy who went to jail so he could binge Naruto only to come out and find Boruto already killed him.
