Slowly. Steadily. After what seemed like an agonizing eternity, Ashley made her way out of the cramped, dark garbage chute, and into the light and openness of a corridor. Slowly, cautiously, she made her way towards the sound of combat. He team was nearby, and she had to assist them however possible. Her body ached, but she dared not risk expending mana to heal herself. That could come later, after Justin had been dealt with. For now, every last ounce of mana would be devoted to attaining that goal.

The corridor opened ahead, into the foyer, or rather, above it… Her grueling ascent had actually allowed her to reach the second floor, with its abominable blood fountains and its disgustingly ostentatious portrait of von Carnage himself. But what could be found above mattered far less than what could be found below… There, her team struggled against three monstrous assailants. Portions of the floor were ablaze, while thick clouds of noxious fumes obscured much of the rest. Even so, a quick glance over the situation after running to the balcony railing told her what was most important, told her who was most in need of her unique abilities. Two members of her team were in desperate need of healing. The first, Wukong, had been set ablaze, and was now pinned to the floor by the nightmarish skeletal centaur-thing that had popped up beneath Ashley herself only a short time ago. It looked far more injured than when she’d seen it last, but still seemed more than capable of ending her simian ally’s life. And then there was Leroux, mangled body splayed on the ground near the broken remnants of the organ, her blood and entrails spilling out. Ashley wanted to help them both, but she knew that she was only capable of so much. She had to prioritize, and she had to do it fast…

One of the basic concepts of math is the order of operations. Unless things were done in the proper order, and unless you knew what that order was, you wouldn’t solve the equation. However, failing to solve the equation here wouldn’t mean failing a test, but failing her teammates, something Ashley Avenir refused to do. Always one to study all the relevant material for a test, she had been sure to thoroughly familiarize herself with all the aspects of this mission, and most importantly, the aspects of her fellow agents… Ashley knew that, through some unique attribute of their esper form, Wukong was capable of surviving a fatal situation for a brief amount of time. Leroux was not so fortunate. Therefore, she would be the first ally to receive healing. However, that did not mean Wukong would be left to fend entirely for herself…

Even as Arzendale unleashed a tsunami of blood upon Breacher and Valkyrie, the Knight of Tomorrow sprung into action. Glowing particles coalescing between the prongs of her instrument, she fired a neon green lance at the prone Leroux, bathing her in restorative energies. Immediately after the beam had dissipated, the young esper took careful aim and snapped off an energy bolt at Centrocious’s sole remaining head. Even if it was too soon for her to heal Wukong as well, the Knight of Tomorrow could still ensure the simian esper would have a tomorrow by killing the monster that was preventing her ally’s escape.

The order of operations had been chosen.

Time would tell if it was the correct one…

When her first day at Marrywell finally drew to a close, Olivia returned to her room, only to find that she was once again the sole occupant. According to the sheet she’d been given, her roommate was apparently named Suzuya Kuzunoha, but she had yet to actually meet her. As she readied herself for bed, Olivia pondered what kind of person Suzuya might be. There were seemingly endless possibilities, but, ultimately, the bespectacled girl just hoped her new roommate would be a friendly and accepting person, much like Helmi, Chinami, and Charlotte had been. Since no one else was around, Olivia decided to transform and chat with Xolys for a bit. However, the incongruous pair had barely been talking for ten minutes, when Suzuya made her appearance. For some reason, she was transformed as well, and Olivia recognized her as the fox girl from the previous night’s battle.

Predictably, Olivia was quick to begin introductions, and, while somewhat brusque, Suzuya still seemed to be a friendly sort (even going so far as to compliment Xolys!). After the Master of Xhar’doth gently informed her that her roommate looked exceptionally tired, Olivia profusely apologized for rambling, and prepared to turn in for the night herself. It was then that the azure-clad beauty realized why Suzuya had elected to sleep in her transformed state- she had all those fluffy tails! Indeed, the fox girl looked incredibly comfy, wrapped up in all that bushy fluff, and it wasn’t long before the wholesome sight had given Olivia an idea. Up until now, she had never been able to sleep while transformed, but now that she was here at Marrywell, she and Xolys could cuddle and snuggle for the entire night!

Changing her sparkling gown into a glittery silk robe with a simple sweep of her hand, Olivia wrapped herself in her blanket and snuggled up close to Xolys, who had assumed a smaller, more compact form, so as to actually fit on the bed. With the eldritch creature’s myriad tentacles curled around her in a loving embrace, Olivia had blissfully drifted off into the best night’s sleep she had ever experienced.




The next morning found Olivia fully rested and ready for whatever the new day held in store. Bidding Xolys a reluctant farewell for the time being, Olivia returned to her mundane form and set about her morning hygienic rituals. After that was breakfast, and a delicious one at that! Indeed, Olivia had never imagined a school cafeteria could offer such rich fare, and in such plentiful portions! Then it was time for the day’s first activity- a patrol though the city! Olivia could barely contain her excitement. Not only would she get to tour historic London, but she’d be able to make some new friends at the same time!

There were only two small disappointments. The first was that Xolys wouldn’t be able to accompany her, but Olivia quickly came to accept this admittedly small concession, since even she realized that the Master of Xhar’doth’s presence amongst of a group of mundane schoolgirls would be a rather alarming sight for any passersby to behold. The second disappointment came when team compositions were announced. Although Olivia had been hoping to be assigned to the team led by Chinami (and also including her roommate), she discovered that she would be joining Lucette’s team instead. On the bright side, Helmi would be with her, as would the new Magical Girl, Nessie was it? Buoyed by this knowledge, Olivia had cheerfully set out, eager to get to know her teammates even better and see all that her new home city had to offer.

One of the things it had to offer was a park, and as they strolled along its picturesque pathways, Lucette took the opportunity to give a small speech, illustrating that this was what they, as Magical Girls, were fighting to protect. The silver-haired girl went on to take a seat and ask if there were any questions. Nessie, perhaps unsurprisingly, was the first to speak up, inquiring about the Pageless. As it happened, Olivia also had some questions pertaining to that subject, and she decided this would be an excellent time to voice what she felt was the most important of them.

“I had a question about the Pageless, too!” Olivia spoke up once Lucette had answered Nessie’s inquiry. “Or, rather, about your personal experiences with them,” she clarified. “You’ve been a Magical Girl for quite a long time, right? So, um, what was the cutest, I-I mean, most interesting Pageless you’ve ever encountered?”
I should hopefully have an Olivia post up sometime tomorrow.





As MDP skipped over to where Penny was fighting the wendigos around the car, twirling her wand like a baton and leading her three oversized plush hearts in an impromptu parade, she returned the robotic girl’s wave with an energetic one of her own, before gasping in happy surprise as a new magical girl made her appearance. “Wowie zowie~!” the whimsical girl exclaimed with a delighted giggle. “A new friendy wendy for Magical Dream Princess~! (giggle!)” Picking up her pace, she soon found herself beside Penny and the new arrival. “Like, hi~! Are you, like, a new magical wagical girl~?!” she asked excitedly. “Magical Dream Princess thinky winkies you look super duper pretty witty~! (giggle!) She just wuvs your sparkly warkly crystal wystal thingie wingies~! Like, do you want to be Magical Dream Princess’s friendy wendy~?! Do you~?! Do you~?! Do you~?! Oh~!” she gasped as a new thought entered her ADHD addled brain. “Like, this is Penny Wenny~!” the bubbly girl added with a big smile, while gesturing to the Mechanical Monarch. “She’s, like, super duper amazing wazing, and she’s also Magical Dream Princess’s special wecial wuvy dovey girlfriend wirlfriend~! (giggle!) Oh, and, like, Magical Dream Princess capture waptured some of those meanie weanie reindeer weindeer thingy wingies, Penny Wenny~!” she noted, turning to her girlfriend. “And she was, like, wondering if you could pretty pretty please make them go bye bye for her~” she requested, blushing slightly as she struck a coy, girly flirt pose and batted her eyes.

Okay, cool.

So, is Suzuya, like, unconsious while her Grimoire has control, or does she still know/remember what happens while transformed?

Just wondering, since it would be amusing for Olivia to have a conversation with her, while transformed, but then she has no memory of it when she changes back.





The corners of Connie’s mask drooped into a frown as she watched the two remaining wendigos press their attack on the twins. Thankfully, the two sisters seemed to have things under control, but she still wished to assist them. “I-I’m g-going to h-help Ronin and Miko!” Connie told Gaia as she rushed over to where her two sword-wielding friends were having their battle.

“That’s a good idea, little sister,” Gaia replied with an approving smile. “It should not take me more than a moment to finish these four off,” she added, as she tossed a trio of seeds in a triangular pattern around the nightmare wracked wendigos. “Then I shall join you in assisting them.”

Reaching out her hand, the verdant magical girl sent swirling tendrils of emerald energy to infuse each seed with potent nature magic. An instant later, they burst into three, cannon-topped flowers. Although similar in appearance to the earlier pod launchers, these were much larger, and their cannon bulbs glowed with an orange radiance. Before the wendigos had a chance to emerge from their nightmarish prison, they were consumed by a three pronged firestorm, which swiftly set their ragged fur ablaze and completely melted their frozen hearts.

Meanwhile, Connie waited patiently for an opening. I can do this… I can do this… she told herself as she watched the two sisters dance about, staying mere inches ahead of their opponents’ wicked claws. When an opportunity finally presented itself, she fired a focused nightmare pulse at each wendigo, the crackling bolts of unhappy thoughts plunging deep into the twisted monsters and trapping their minds in hellish prisons of their own making. “R-Ronin! Miko!” the masked girl called. “N-Now’s your chance! M-Mia said you h-have to d-destroy their h-hearts!”


No sooner had Ashley begun working her way up the garage chute, then gaunt, claw-like hands grasped her ankle, overgrown fingernails snapping off as they tried to dig into her futuristic boot. Above her, a warm glow could be seen, beckoning her onwards to freedom, and yet, below her, the thralls sought to drag her back down into their hellish chamber of horrors. That was something she could not allow. The Knight of Tomorrow knew she could not save these poor souls, that they had no future left for her to defend. But she could avenge them, could ensure that no one else’s future would hold this horrible fate. And to do that, she needed to escape. No matter what barred her way…

“I’m sorry,” she whimpered through gritted teeth as the tip of her instrument glowed with arcane power, bathing the cramped space in neon light. An instant later, a bolt of emerald energy shot into the face of the nearest thrall, blasting him back down the chute, and very likely killing him in the process. Ashley wouldn’t see that, though. The young esper’s eyes were squeezed shut, while tears continued to stream down her cheeks, raining down upon the the frenzied thralls below. Her body ached from dozens of cuts and gashes, but her heart ached vastly more. I’ll make him pay… the Knight of Tomorrow swore to both the thralls and herself as she turned every fiber of her being to one simple task-

Ascend…

That's perfectly fine. The only reason she wouldn't is if Suzuya was noticeably freaked out, but since she's transformed (and probably did so before even entering the room), Olivia would have no reason not to.

Also, is it safe to assume that transformed Suzuya actually admires Xolys for his combat prowess, probably even saying as much? And on a related topic, from what I saw during the battle, it looks like Suzuya has a better command of english while transformed, or am I misunderstanding things?
The sane part of me says no, but the sadistic part says YES.





While Connie and Gaia had initially intended to engage the wendigos assaulting the hospital, on their way they had come upon a pack of the creatures attempting to break inside one of Penrose’s many financial institutions. Noticing their approach, four of the monsters charged towards them, while two remained behind to batter down the bank’s doors.

Connie gasped in fright at the sound of the lead wendigo’s demonic howl, before steeling herself for the impending battle. Although she was terrified of the horrific monsters, Connie knew that innocent lives hung in the balance, and so, for their sake, she resolved to be strong…

“Allow me to soften them up a bit first, little sister,” Gaia advised, while casting a handful of seeds on the ground in front of them. With a swirling of emerald nature magic, the half-dozen seeds quickly sprouted into large, cannon-headed plants. Like a similar plant found in one of Gaia’s favorite video games, they fired a volley of green pods at the oncoming wendigos, and upon striking the creatures, the botanical projectiles burst into clouds of sedative spores. And if that wasn’t enough, several thorny vines shot up from the pavement to wrap themselves tightly around the wendigos’ gaunt bodies, pinning the creatures in place. “Okay, Connie,” she announced with a satisfied smirk. “Now it’s your turn.”

“Right!” Connie confirmed with a determined nod. Closing the eyes of her mask, she focused her power and held out her hand. A moment later, dark, crackling tendrils of nightmare magic shot from her splayed fingers to thrust deep within the skull-like heads of each of the four bound beasts. If these creatures had nightmares, or fears of any kind, they would now be trapped in a world entirely composed of them.

“Nice work, little sister,” Gaia told her with an approving thumbs up. “Now that just leaves the two at the door.”

However, before the two friends could take even a single step, a second duo arrived on the scene in dramatic fashion.

“R-Ronin! Miko!” Connie called out happily, while giving the twins a big smile. “I-It’s s-so good to s-see you again!”

“Indeed,” Gaia concurred. “And while I believe that Connie and I should be able to dispatch these vile beasts ourselves, the assistance of our dear friends is certainly appreciated,” she replied to Miko’s inquiry with a grin.









As she raced through the sky on her rainicorn pegasus, Magical Dream Princess heard a cry for help just before she watched a trio of monsters batter their way inside a convenience store. Leaping off her mount which swiftly dissipated like the dream construct it was, MDP ran inside the store after them.

As the Wendigos went about their rampage, they would hear an indignant, but still rather cute, voice call out, “Hey! That’s not very nicey wicey!” If the antlered monsters were to turn their attention towards the source of the voice, they would find an unhappy-looking MDP glaring at them, her hands on her hips. “Like, Magical Dream Princess thinky winkes you meanie weanies need a time out!” she declared, conjuring her whimsical wand and sweeping it across the gathered wendigos. As she did so, a stream of glittering stars shot forth, prismatic streamers trailing behind each one. Upon striking the wendigos, they would force the creatures back, into the waiting arms of three enormous, smiling, plush hearts, who wasted no time in giving them a crushing embrace. A moment later, an anthropomorphic clock wearing a police officer’s hat walked up and whacked each monster over the head with a rubber baton, knocking them unconscious. “Like, super duper thankie wankies, Mister Wister Officer Wofficer~! (giggle!)” MDP told the clock cop cheerfully, while giving it a playful peace sign salute. Tipping its hat in return, the clock cop promptly vanished in a puff of glittery smoke.

“Okie dokie, everybodywody~!” MDP told the frightened civilians huddling in the back of the store. “Magical Dream Princess thinky winkies you’ll be safey wafey nowie~! (giggle!) She’ll take these meanie weanies someplacey wacey where they won’t bother wother anybodywody ever againsie~!” Turning around, she skipped through the shop’s ruined door and led her three smiling hearts back out into the street.

It was at this point that MDP realized she wasn’t alone in battling the wendigos, and she gave voice to a squeal of delight when she saw who’d been helping her. “Goodie woodie~! Penny Wenny’s heresie, too~! (giggle!)” the childish girl exclaimed, while gleefully jumping up and down. “But, like, Penny Wenny doesn’t look too happy wappy…” she added with a frown, before cheering up an instant later. “Like, after wafter she’s done with these meanie weanies, Magical Dream Princess will, like, just have to give her lots and lots of wuvy dovey huggy wuggies to make her feel aaaaall better~! (giggle!)”









As Finn, Oliver, and Roxanna continued their battle against the Wendigos at the train station, they would hear a heavenly voice call out, “Fear not, noble champions! The Angel of Hope is here to aid you! Please permit this humble servant to bless your most selfless efforts!” Hovering aloft on radiant wings, the angelic magical girl raised her staff high over her head, where it glowed with a brilliance to rival the sun itself. An instant later, luminous rays of reinforcement magic shot forth to fall upon her three fellow magicals, greatly augmenting their abilities, while also shielding them from harm. “Do not falter now, brave champions!” the Angel implored them. “Know that I believe in you! Victory is in your gasp! Take heart, and seize it!”

Oh, and, uh, please don’t cringe too much at all the fluffy shit I’m telling you… (sigh) Why the fuck couldn’t I be able to just fight those fuckin’ fur bags like a normal person…?
