Well, now I’m really starting to get concerned…
-Ashley Avenir


Predictably, Mika had not, in fact, informed Dr. Moller of the dossier on Finn she’d found in the charred diner, but Ashley didn’t allow herself to be too concerned by this fact. After all, Mika’s reasoning for doing so was sound in light of the need for secrecy, and besides, the Knight of Tomorrow had a far larger problem to deal with…

Ashley’s eyes widened in shock as Finn went on his little rant. She knew he’d been having a hard time, and that he was still just a child, but the cruel vindictiveness he was exhibiting was taking things to another level. To say that it was worrying would have been a massive understatement. Especially when he joked(?) about her murdering Olivia to keep the girl quiet.

Kill her?” the Knight of Tomorrow repeated. “Finn, what has gotten into you? Clearly I’ve struck some kind of nerve, but that still doesn’t give you the right to start acting like a deranged psychopath! Look,” she added after taking a deep breath. “I don’t think you’re the mole. All I’m saying is that I’m worried you might inadvertently reveal sensitive information, based upon your recent actions. Furthermore, I don’t think Olivia is a spy either, but as you said, she’s both talkative and innocent. If you tell her something, who knows who else she might naively reveal it to? As for Betty, no, I don’t think she’d willingly serve The Hand, but she was brainwashed by one of their members, so I think it would be foolish to discount the possibility that they may still have some form of influence over her.”

Finn then inquired if Faith or Binky had been acting oddly of late, as if his recent outburst hadn’t even happened, making said inquiry all the more ironic. Mika followed that up with some comments of her own, before asking how they should go about discovering the mole’s identity.

“Well, first off, I think we should try to get the Director alone and bring all we’ve learned to her attention,” Ashley began. “Then perhaps we could have her share false information with each of the suspects one by one and see if The Hand responds. I’m afraid I haven’t spent a lot of time with Binky since we rescued her,” the high-tech heroine continued. “But when I did, she seemed like her normal self. Faith is an… interesting person. She’s certainly acted rather strange on the few times we’ve conversed, but I don’t know how much of her eccentricities are natural aspects of her personalty, or signs of mental manipulation. We also can’t rule out the possibility that they don’t even know they’re supplying our enemies with information. Based on what we’ve seen so far, I think it's safe to say that implanting hidden surveillance technology or employing magical means to replicate the same effect is well within their capabilities. That said, there’s a more immediate concern I’d like to address.”

Taking another deep breath, she turned back to fix Finn with an intense gaze.

“I don’t know what, exactly, is causing you to act out like this, but if things are too much for you right now, then I think it’s in everyone’s best interest if you sit this mission out,” she told the young agent in a firm tone. “I can’t say we don’t need all the help we can get against a threat of this size, but if you’re just going act like an unhinged loose cannon, instead of a GEMINI agent, then your presence will do far more harm than good. So, what will it be, Timekeeper? Can we count on you to control yourself and cooperate with your fellow team members, or should we leave you behind to work through whatever problems you’re dealing with?”

Well, shiver my timbers…
-Nyxia Torrentia, Neon Tempest of the Ultraviolet Rainbow


To Nyxia’s great delight, the Miseria were perishing in droves. Indeed, the Neon Tempest was so fixated on her little slaughter fest, that Oros’s own Miseria make out session went blissfuly unnoticed. However, its resulting effect on said Miseria soon made itself unmistakably apparent…

“What tha fuck?! Nyxia exclaimed, her wild eyes widening in disbelief. “Is that a fuckin’ pirate ship?!

Yes, it did, indeed, seem to be just that, crewed, appropriately enough, by pirate Miseria. Though somewhat comical in appearance, the shadowy swashbucklers wasted no time in joining the fray, firing themselves out of their ship’s cannons to impact the beach with considerable force. Perhaps predictably, Nyxia didn’t really change her single-minded tactics in response to this latest development, merely her target.

Satisfied that Roche and the others could handle the incoming pirates, along with what few Miseria had survived her initial deluge of devastation, Nyxia swung the barrel of her massive energy cannon to face the skeletal galleon. “Looks like that was just the appetizer, baby,” she told her beloved weapon as an even more psychotic grin spread across her face. “TIME FOR THE MAIN COURSE!!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!”

Once more, the ruinous cylinder of glowing, teal-tinted annihilation vomited forth, vaporizing any sand thrown up in its path, along with any unfortunate Misiera that happened to get in the way. Since it was not only quite sizable, but also hovering above the waves, the buccaneers’ bone ship was an easy target, despite the beach’s steadily worsening visibility. Plus, besides being the most imposing enemy to target, if this worked at all like any of the video games she’d played with her brother, then destroying the pirates’ ship would deal a fatal blow to the remaining Miseria. As her sadistic laughter continued to ring out, the Neon Tempest kept her finger pressed tight against the Omega Obliterator’s trigger, sending any Miseria that dared to approach her flying away with a powerful kick (at least the ones who got past her hovering point defense drones) and using that same superhuman leg strength to simply leap out of the way of any of the bone galleon’s incoming cannon fire.

“IS THAT REALLY ALL YOU GOT?!!” she sneered at her foe. “AND HERE I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE A CHALLENGE!!! HAHAHAHAAA!!!”

Okay, time for a difficult conversation...
-Ashley Avenir


As Ashley walked the short distance from her apartment to Mika’s van, the light drizzle rapidly intensified into a torrential downpour. Thankfully, like Olivia, she had remembered to bring an umbrella, and so her seat remained relatively dry after she stepped through the van’s front passenger door. A quick look around the vehicle’s interior revealed that she was apparently the first agent to be picked up, thus, the ensuing ride to their next destination passed in a predictably awkward silence. However, that all changed once Finn stepped inside. As soon as they had begun moving again, Mika brought up the possible mole in their ranks, noting that she had recovered info about Finn from the ruins of Dante’s diner. Opening the glove box as she was directed, the Knight of Tomorrow found the dossier in question and began reading over it. The information it listed was troubling enough, but that wasn’t the only thing that concerned the high-tech heroine…

“Does Director Moller know about this?” Ashley inquired, although she was pretty sure she already knew the answer. A part of her could understand keeping the information out of the hands of a potential spy, but if the mole was actually the director herself, then they were in far more trouble than the Knight of Tomorrow cared to imagine.

“As for potential suspects, and as much as I hate to admit it, I think the most likely candidates are Faith and Binky. The later was recently held captive by The Hand, and it’s very likely that The Hand was responsible for inserting the former into the Diver as a power source. In addition, they both have access to a great deal of sensitive information, including most of Director Moller’s plans. Now, I don’t mean to say that they are knowingly betraying us,” she hastened to clarify. “It’s very possible that they were brainwashed, or were simply implanted with some form of hidden surveillance equipment. That said, there’s one other significant possibility.” Pausing for a moment to take a breath, she continued. “While Betty isn’t a part of GEMINI’s command structure, you’ve been spending a lot of time with her, Finn,” she noted, turning to face the young agent. “Have you told her any potentially sensitive information? On a related note, I was just informed by my neighbor that, in addition to giving her tours of the city, you also revealed to her that you were an esper. I sincerely hope you didn’t tell her that you worked for GEMINI as well, or mentioned any classified mission details, but even if you didn’t, can you see how that was still a massive security risk?” she inquired, her eyes and voice filled with a mixture of disappointment and concern.

Although this really wasn’t a conversation Ashley wanted to have, it was better to get it out of the way now, as opposed to after the other agents were present as well.

Fucking finally!
-Nyxia Torrentia, Neon Tempest of the Ultraviolet Rainbow


Nyxia paid little mind to the charred and battered husk of Oros as the blood witch pitifully crawled away, nor did she bother to acknowledge Acid Drop’s surprisingly snide comment about not thinking. Maybe this result wasn’t exactly what she’d been hoping for, but the Neon Tempest wanted Miseria to slaughter, and now she had them, so as far as the teal-haired terror was concerned, their plan had been a success.

“Hahahahaaaa!” Nyxia laughed in psychotic glee as she aimed the Omega Obliterator to fire a flanking shot along the advancing line of Miseria. “See that, baby?! It’s a fucking feast! So EAT UP!!!

Squeezing the trigger of her massive weapon and pumping her magic into it at a prodigious rate, the Neon Tempest unleashed a writhing, crackling torrent of glowing teal annihilation, the death ray’s quartet of newly formed supplementary barrels sending ancillary streams to pour into and further engorge the already sizable primary cylinder of ruinous energies as it cut a swath of devastation along the beach. Indeed, the tubular technomantic tendril served as a barrier in its own right, remaining in place to vaporize each successive wave of the seemingly endless tide of Miseria emerging from the sea after completely disintegrating the first with contemptuous ease. Simultaneously, any Miseria that might have somehow managed to get past this kill zone would find themselves subjected to a hail of lesser, yet still potent energy beams disgorged by a pair of hovering weapon drones that resembled larger versions of the Neon Tempest’s octahedral hair decorations.

“That’s right you fucking shit stains!” Nyxia cried as dozens of Miseria burst apart into clouds of swiftly dissipating mist in rapid succession. Die for me! Die! Die! DIEEEE!!!

Why do you always have to make things difficult, Finn?
-Ashley Avenir


Ashley frowned when she saw Mika’s text about offering to pick up the various agents, rather than meeting at GEMINI HQ and moving out from there. While the Knight of Tomorrow understood and respected the need for caution in light of the deeply unsettling fact that there was likely a mole among their ranks, she had no great desire to have the perpetually annoyed Mika cross paths with her perpetually chatty neighbor. Thus, she had requested that Mika park a block away from her apartment in an effort to curtail such a meeting. As if to validate her concerns, no sooner had she stepped into the hall, then a nasally voice called out to her.

“Hi, Ashley!”

“Oh, hi, Olivia,” Ashley greeted the bespectacled brunette with what she hoped was a friendly smile.

Despite the fact that the talkative girl had been nothing but personable, if a little annoying, Ashley still couldn’t help but feel that there was something off about Olivia. While her recent mission to rescue the kidnapped Marrywell students had confirmed that her neighbor was in no way involved with said incident, Olivia’s interest in espers and anything related to the paranormal, to say nothing of the bespectacled brunette’s frequent talk of single-student field trips, magical girls, and her “darling Xolys”, seemed far more than merely the products of an overactive imagination. Indeed, when returning from late patrols, Ashley could sometimes make out the faint sounds of conversation emanating from the other side of Olivia’s door. One voice was female, but sounded far sweeter and more melodious than Olivia’s normal, nasally tones, while the second was male, and sounded quite polite and cordial. Still, Ashley wasn’t about to investigate this oddity, not when there were far more pressing matters in need of her attention…

“It’s really getting stormy out there, huh?” Olivia observed. “It’s a really good thing I remembered to bring my umbrella!” she added with a giggle/snort.

Ostensibly the result of two approaching severe weather systems, the worsening conditions were actually an early warning that a pair of Behemoth-class monsters would soon arrive in Pax Septimus. After the catastrophic damage the Diver had so recently caused, GEMINI wanted to ensure that this latest pair were stopped well short of the city, and Ashley had vowed to do all she could in pursuit of that goal. Yet, she couldn’t exactly tell Olivia that, even if the strange girl was more than she appeared, and so the Knight of Tomorrow forced herself to maintain a casual demeanor.

“It’s supposed to get a lot worse later on, so I’d recommend staying indoors for the rest of the day,” she advised.

“Oh, don’t worry, I will!” Olivia reassured her. “Plus, I’ve had lots of experience with extreme weather,” she added. “Like I was telling that person when we first met, my home town would frequently get buried under a considerable quantity of snow during winter storms, and it rained a lot in London during my time there, especially when this one Pageless that could control the weather showed up!”

“I see…” Ashley replied, not exactly sure what a “Pageless” even was. “So, um, how have your explorations of the city been going?” she inquired.

“Oh, they’ve been great!” Olivia replied with an excited smile. “I mean, I haven’t seen any ghosts or monsters up close yet, but with my tour guide’s help, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time!” she added with another giggle/snort. “Like, the other day, we went down into the catacombs beneath the historic library via a secret tunnel in its archives, and we almost saw a real ghost! Well, I think it was a ghost,” Olivia added with a frown. “I mean, we only caught a few glimpses of its cape and never actually caught up to it, but we heard the laughter of a young boy, and there wouldn't be any young boys in the catacombs unless they were a ghost, right? Then again, I suppose he could have been an esper…” she reflected, her visage one of thoughtful contemplation, before brightening up once again. “Oh! And speaking of espers, my guide actually is one!”

“H-He is…?!” Ashley asked, more than a little taken aback by this revelation.

“Yes!” Olivia confirmed with an enthusiastic nod. “I know you warned me about them being dangerous, but Finn is super nice, and I felt very safe with him!”

Finn?!

“It was actually rather fortunate, too, since if we ran into trouble down there, I don’t think darling Xolys would have been able to help much, since he’d have probably been too big to fit!” Olivia continued before giving voice to another giggle/snort.

However, Ashley barely heard her. The Knight of Tomorrow’s mind was reeling.

Finn?! Finn’s her tour guide?! And he revealed himself as an esper?! What was he thinking?!

Indeed, it was bad enough that GEMINI’s Pax Septimus branch had been compromised, but now a fellow agent who had already proven himself to be a discipline problem was also becoming a security risk?! This was bad. How much did he tell Olivia? Did he mention that he worked for GEMINI? Had he given away classified information about recent operations? Ashley had no way of knowing, other than asking Olivia or confronting Finn directly. Doing the latter right before the start of a pivotal operation was decidedly less than ideal, but asking her chatty neighbor was out of the question. Even if Olivia was utterly innocent, her naiveté, coupled with her talkative tendencies, made the idea of revealing herself as an esper a very bad move. There was no telling who she might go on to inadvertently reveal that information to. It was problematic enough that Finn was potentially compromised, and Ashley wasn’t about to add herself to that number…

“Well, he seems nice enough,” Ashley conceded, doing her best not to show the considerable annoyance and worry she felt.

“Yeah, he really is!” Olivia reiterated. “And he has such fascinating abilities, oh, and his esper form looks sort of like a jointed doll! Isn’t that cool?!”

“Uh, yes, very cool,” Ashley agreed in a slightly awkward tone she hoped Olivia wouldn’t pink up on.

“So, um, where are you heading off to?” the bespectacled brunette inquired.

“I’m helping some colleagues from work prepare for the storm,” Ashley replied with practiced ease. Plus, it wasn’t exactly a lie.

“Well, stay safe out there!” Olivia told her with a wave.

“I’ll do my best,” Ashley replied with a smile as she headed for the stairs.

She only hoped her best would be enough…

“Okie dokie~!” MDP told Penny with a wink and a playful peace sign salute before bouncing over to glomp the twins. When Ronin confirmed that she was indeed interested in hearing about the whimsical girl’s recent adventures, MDP’s happy smile grew even wider. “Yaaay~! (giggle!)” she cheered in delight. “So, like, firsty wirsty, Magical Dream Princess met Mister Wister Flower Wower, and became friendy wendies with him~!” she began. “Thensie wensie, Magical Dream Princess met Chloe Whoey and became friendy wendies with her, too~!

In facty wacty, she’s right over theresie weresie~!” MDP added, pointing to where the Knight of Tonight was standing with Connie and Gaia.

And an animal-covered Lily.

“Awwww~! What adorable worable animal wanimals~! (giggle!)” the whimsical girl squealed in childish delight as she darted over to kneel down next to Lily. “Like, can Magical Dream Princess pet your furry wurry friendy wendies, Lily Wily~?!” she asked, her high-pitched voice filled with eager excitement. “Pretty pretty pleasey weasey can she~?!” the playful princess pleaded, clasping her hands together. “Can she~?! Can she~?! Can she~?!”

Connie, who had been somewhat enraptured by the adorable scene playing out before her was slightly taken aback by MDP’s sudden arrival, although her childish friend’s cute pleading only served to make things even more wholesome.

“I think my dearest Connie may wish to pet your adorable companions as well,” Gaia noted with a smile.

“Y-Yes, I-I’d l-like that v-very much!” Connie confirmed with a few rapid nods, the cheeks of her mask still flushed a bright red. “I-If t-that’s all r-right, of c-course,” she quickly added.

Well, this is an unexpected treat…
-Nyxia Torrentia, Neon Tempest of the Ultraviolet Rainbow


At first, Nyxia was pleased to see that her ostensible teammates were following her instructions, but the Neon Tempest’s eyes widened a moment later as she watched Oros place herself at the center of the sand sculpture and begin piling even more damp sand around where she was standing. Ever a highly anti-social individual who would always work alone if given the choice, Nyxia didn’t have even the slightest idea of the specifics of how her fellow dark magical girls’ abilities functioned, so it should have come as no surprise that the Neon Tempest didn’t realize that this was the only way Suki could generate anywhere near the amount of blood she had demanded.

Still, despite how unexpected the move was, it did little to change Nyxia’s plans. If anything, the blood witch’s presence at ground zero of her impending lance of incandescent devastation was an added bonus, and Nyxia doubted the perverted pinkette would be seriously hurt by the blast in any case. After all, she couldn’t make her attack too strong, or else most of the blood would be vaporized before it could rain down on the hapless masses of beachgoers, and they certainly couldn’t have that…

Look out below, bitch.

With a savage smirk, the airborne Neon Tempest sent her teal death ray streaking down right onto Suki’s head…





“A new friendy wendy~?!” MDP repeated with a delighted smile after Penny explained the reason for her recent “upgrade”. “Like, Magical Dream Princess would wuv thatsie whatsie~! (giggle!)” she added when the Mechanical Monarch mentioned the possibility of meeting said new friend. Then, the arrival of two familiar faces caught the whimsical girl’s painfully limited attention. “Ronin Wonin and Miko Wiko~!” she cheered as she ran over to glomp the sisters. “Like, Magical Dream Princess is soooo happy wappy to see you~! (giggle!) Like, do you wanna hearsie wearsie aboutsie woutsie all the super duper funsie wunsie stuffy wuffy Magical Dream Princess has been doing lately wately~?!” she asked the pair while excitedly bouncing up and down. “Do you~?! Do you~?! Do you~?!”

Despite her nervousness, Connie’s mask formed a smile at the sight of Ronin and Miko’s arrival and MDP’s charmingly childish antics in response to it. Their group was certainly growing, the timid girl reflected, which would hopefully improve the chances of the impending mission being a success. “O-Oh, um, y-yes,” Connie confirmed when Ashley observed that everyone seemed to know one another. “I-I’m friends w-with almost e-everyone here. A-Although I’m n-not too f-familiar with t-that girl o-over there,” she added with a slight frown, while surreptitiously pointing a trembling finger at where Nefer was attempting to flirt with Melisa.

“I believe she was present at the evacuation of Bolorton,” Gaia noted. “And she came to the previous park meeting as well, although I am afraid I still know next to nothing about her, or her motivations for aiding us,” the verdant maiden added.

Speaking of Bolorton, the next thing Connie knew, Lily had popped over to introduce herself to Ashley and ask if the sci-fi themed young woman had helped with the evacuation, before going full fan-girl on the visibly unnerved space knight. The greenette’s babblings only ceased with the arrival of three small animals, who quickly clambered onto her.

“O-Oh gosh!” Connie exclaimed, clasping her hands together. “T-They’re sooo cute!”

For her part, Gaia couldn’t help but giggle at the sight of Lily and Connie’s adorable reactions. Unfortunately, her mood soon shifted to one of apprehension as she watched the Ascendancy contingent make their entrance, followed shortly by Justine. Having the two formerly adversarial parties in such close proximity was troubling enough, but the fact that the former vampire had brought her unhinged sister along only made matters worse. Although Gaia appreciated the additional help, she only hoped their presence on such a vital mission wouldn’t end up doing more harm than good…
Something like this was already attempted about a year ago- roleplayerguild.com/posts/5476740

While it was an amusing experience (and quite a cool world setting), an AI like ChatGPT can only serve as a GM for so long until it starts having issues with remembering plot points/setting info/etc.

It's a nice tool for a GM, though, especially when it comes to world building and brainstorming character concepts.

Y’know, I can actually work with this…
-Nyxia Torrentia, Neon Tempest of the Ultraviolet Rainbow


As much as she hated to admit it, Nyxia was impressed by Suki’s creative solution to the whole “being invisible to normies” problem. Plus, it actually seemed to be working, with a sizable crowd having been gathered around the blood witch’s sand sculpture. Now came the part where they got that crowd to collectively shit themselves in utter terror. The Neon Tempest had an idea on how that might be accomplished, but a few steps would need to be taken before hand.

“Ya said liquid mediums work best for your powers, right?” she asked Tsubomi. “Then pump as much fear and panic into this blood as ya can,” she instructed pointing to the moist sand Suki was using to sculpt with. “Preferably at a pace faster than a fucking snail’s. And you,” she added, turning her attention to Oros. “Make that statue even bigger, and fill it with a fucking shit ton of blood. Don’t stop until the whole fucking thing turns red and starts leaking. I’ll handle the rest.”

Assuming her companions did as instructed, Nyxia would wait until streams of blood had begun pouring out of the enlarged sculpture, before crouching down and blasting herself high into the air. At the apex of her ascent, the Neon Tempest would point the Omega Obliterator at the mass of crimson sand and send a ruinous cylinder of teal energy lancing out of the zenith to slam into its “head”, whereupon the sculpture would burst apart, causing a deluge of blood to rain down upon the gathered crowd. It that didn’t terrify them, then the pure terror infusing the bloody downpour certainly would…
