Tales from Frontier Village: A Rune Factory Roleplay {Always Recuriting/Accepting}

"A Shame? Not at all, not at all!" she said, laughing happily as she grabbed her Ale. "Opportunities. That's what it is!"

As she spoke, she began writing; fast and greedily, if such a term applied. The motion of inking the pen and the movement on the paper was like a flawless dance. Soon enough, one latter was done, then two. The written content was small, but it seemed like the pink haired lady was intent on writing a good numbers of them.

"It's never too early for ale - it's good for concentration." she also said, waving her hand as it she was waving the opinion aside. Then, suddenly, as if she realized just now she was speaking to someone, she raised her head and looked at the Inn Keeper. "Oh! Hi! My name is Hina, I'm kind of new in town. I'm a traveling merchant. Nice to meet you."

She extended her hand to James, which hit the Ale and sent the glass flying. Hina managed to lean forward to catch it with her other hand, kicking her enormous bag of belongings on the side...which the managed to keep from falling using her foot. Once everything was back into place, she sat back down with a sigh of relief.

"Do you have any form of mail delivery...birds, perhaps?" She asked the old man. But before she could continue speaking with her bar tender, another man came forward, not failing to note her clumsiness and - literally - 'loud' personality. Hina brought a hand to the back of her head; "Eheh...Sorry..."

However, her personality changed drastically at the mention of merchandising. Flames lit up in her eyes. "Sell, you say? Well...it depends at what price - and it's worth. Also if you are a merchant then you might want to stick around." after saying this, Hina finally dropped her pen, looking at a pile of letters that were all done, waiting for her to seal them. "Once these are sealed and sent, quite a few more merchants and merchandise should come this village's way. Trust me."

With the possible scent of money on the horizon, Hina's lips curved into a smile as she rubbed her hands together.

"So...what wares do you have?"

Kurai Majoko: Dark Magical Girls

Ayumu & Machiko

Through the hallways, Machiko would feel a lone presence approaching.

Those fights had really done a number on the school, Ayumu thought, lips curling into a smile as she took in the dented lockers. Too bad she'd missed them. She could just imagine the expressions on any onlookers' faces. The magician sneaked onwards, towards the one person still here.

An aura of gloominess permeated the air, emanating from the Detention Club room. Time to liven things up. "Hey, don't you worry," Ayumu called, striding into the room in her shadowy stage outfit. "No need to head home just yet!"

With a gloved hand, she pointed behind Machiko. Just a second ago, the room had been plain save for the table sheet. Now, streamers - or rather, knotted-together handkerchiefs, ragged and bloodstained, hung from the ceiling. Balloons floated around, some shaped like unsettlingly detailed skulls, others like eyeballs. A cabinet rose from a trapdoor, opening to reveal rows of gleaming spikes, although the many figures who leapt from the small space were unharmed. "SURPRISE!!" the other dark magical girls called in unison, their good cheer contrasting with their sinister transformed appearances.

"Although there's been a slight change of plan," Ayumu explained, waving her hand. The room became ordinary once more, empty besides her and her former partner. "Since school's out, the meeting's being moved to Ami's place."

Machiko remained perfectly still all the while illusions; eyeballs, bloodied things, skulls and balloons appeared and caused chaos in the room - for a little while. It all disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared, and only after the last illusion was gone did Machiko slowly turned around to look at Ayumu, bearing her usual nonchalant expression. By the time Ayumu had made her way to the room, the feast of sweets and pastries had been packed back up in their boxes. Holding one in her arms, Machiko walked over to Ayumu.

"Here." she said as she put the box in her friend's arms and went back to the table to pick up the other one.

"Help me carry those to Ami's home then."

She aimed for the door, but stopped as she was passing Ayumu and turned her head towards her. "It's been a while. You must have a new partner by now." she said, with no traces of either being happy to see Ayumu or not. Since those two had been partners, the magician would know that's just how Machiko was: Jaded.

Ayumu didn't take offense at Machiko's minimal reaction. On the surface, the two appeared to be opposites. Deep down, Ayumu could relate to that cynicism all too well. A magician entertained and enthralled at the cost of experiencing such joy themselves. A stage act hid a myriad of secrets, just like a smile did - and just like this world did.

"Yeah, but I'm not gonna leave a friend behind," she replied, helping Machiko with the boxes. As she did, she returned to civilian form. Inspiring urban legends and ghost stories was fun and all, but probably not something Machiko would be in the kind of mood to help with. "Good to see you again, and I'm sure the rest of the club will agree. Ooh, Ami's gonna love these."

As she led the other magical girl from the room, Ayumu decided not to mention the fact that she'd come back to Miso City at a less than ideal time, with that high-and-mighty force of light invading Detention Club territory. If the club wanted to discuss that at the meeting, they would, and she wasn't going to be the one to bring the mood down. Aegis had done enough of that recently.

"It doesn't matter." she said, talking of course of whether or not the others would or would not care or be happy to see her again. "I wonder who will be my partner now. Ahh. I guess I'll have to wait for Touka to decide. Now..." the both of them were now outside of the school. It was quite late, some time after all of the commotion. Machiko turned to her old partner and looked her in the eyes of her jaded stare. "...Which way?"

Viscious Virtue (Dark Magical Girls)

The blond magical girl didn't react to the arrival of reinforcement - nothing much more than a glance at them when they pulled the man from the edge of the building. Fumiko's eyes quickly scanned the newcomer; a magical girl alright. Looked like she could handle herself. Fumiko lowered her sheathed in an attack pose. "Well - try to keep up." she said as she launched herself forward on the closest of the two vices, leaving the other one for her new friend.

She and the dog moved in unison, circling around the vice, swatting away it's arms as they came at them and harassing the enemy whenever possible. Looking for an opportunity - and it came. It came fast and hard in the form of a bullet. Fumiko's vice saw it's body ripped open by the sheer force of the ammo that had just went through it.

She didn't wait. Drawing her sword she jumped forward and through the Vice's hollowed body. Her body did a full 360 degree spin on itself as she cut the vice from inside out. By the time she landed, that enemy was no more and only one was left. She didn't stop there, moving in closer to the other vice she focused on swatting and cutting away whatever arms would be aiming at the other girl while she fought, then landed beside her as the Vice took a few steps back, seemingly trying to regrow limbs. "The name's Nagamasa Fumiko." She said, at the ready.

"I'd let you finish it yourself, but I already made the Oath. Go, I'll support you."

Kurai Majoko: Dark Magical Girls

Yui quickly brought a hand to her eyes and wiped away whatever tears built up in them. "Nothing happened, don't worry. It's just..." to explain what she learned here, on the spot and in all of the surrounding 'chaos' was almost impossible. She turned to Tama next.

"Yes. I found her, and I followed her back to her place. We spoke for a little while." Yui looked down for a few moments, the look on her face was recognizable - the same one she almost always had when Luna was brought up, and Tama could recognize it well. "Briefly... she briefly mentioned Luna. I don't have a lot of answers, but she did tell me a few things and...I think it's a lead to follow in making this place safer for everyone. But...it's uncertain. You see, Aegis told me that she's-"

Upon seeing the girl dressed in maid approach them, Yui stopped talking and waited for her to talk to her friends before continuing. Was she surprised when the girl spoke to her! Although, after what Aegis told her, a multitude of reasons for this popped up in Yui's mind and she wondered just what else she and her friends didn't know about. She took the letter and read it with her friends, then it was followed by a small moment of silent thinking before Honoka broke it.

"Honoka...Wait..." but she stopped. Honoka was eager, to be sure, but she was right. Yui mentally slapped herself for thinking even a second that it could wait. If the letter was true, then they had to do it. They at least had to check. "That's right." Yui said to Tama. "We need to find the rest of our group and get on this quickly. What I found can wait until after this, I think...Although..." Yui looked towards the school thoughtfully. She tried to 'feel' this energy Aegis spoke of, but couldn't feel anything different than before. Maybe she was too preoccupied by all that was happening, or maybe she could simply not feel whatever was the cause of Aegis' concern. If she could be concerned with anything at all...

"Tama, think you c--" She stopped. IN the last days, she felt as if she had left her friends alone for this or that reason all too often...and with a smile continued. "Nevermind. Let's all look for Illya before heading to this Margaret's place. Sounds good?" she said, spreading her wings as if to say she was ready to move.

Neo Sorairo

Mila looked at Hiro's extended arms for a little while, then at Hiro in general before finally handing the linker his toy back. Her eyes laid on Kuni when she gave her a sermont, but whatever the purple haired Gunner felt out of it was hidden behind a mask of lack of readable emotions. That being said: "I am sorry if I acted in an awkward fashion." she said ceremoniously, maybe a bit too much so, while bowing politely. "We are here to build bonds. I have been told to act normal and befriend individuals from within the Academy, not just members from my team. Research online said that a trip to the beach was optimal for creating stronger bonds between friends; this is why we came." After this Mila turned to Kuni and followed with "Do you feel stronger bonds of friendship?" in an awfully serious, yet clueless manner.

Reactions were cut short when Falk approached - yet another man from another team in the academy. To his comment, Mila looked down at herself as if to say 'what's wrong with my swimsuit?'. "Thank you. I was told to 'take this one and leave, please', so I did." Mila's eyes landed on Falk and her pupils locked onto his eyes, hair, then down his body completely as if she was scanning him - which she actually was, in a way.

During the small exchange from Kuni to Falk, Mila simply watched on. Kuni took some distance, and after a few seconds Mila spoke up "Strange. It seems like Kuni is feeling some sort of discomfort from the increasing size of this group. It is akin to the discomfort Hiro seemed to have when there was only females members to the group." Mila noted as if it was nothing, even if it might be wrong.

"At any rate, I am pleased to meet you, Ely. Lucia, also. I saw you fight the other day; your combat performances were impressive." Again, her eyes locked on Lucia as she scanned her from head to feet. A keen observer would notice something particular about Mila: Everyone would be accustomed to the feeling of being lost in one's thought and, when snapping out of it, having to find what's the appropriate thing to say or react to someone while having missed the last few seconds. On almost every facial expression from Mila or emotional reaction, there would be the same feeling to it. Although, when she spoke of 'combat performances' or things that she observed or noted, there would not be.

@unicorgi I can tutor you if you want. I've watched the season 2 times in the last month.

My Not so Heroic Academia a.k.a. Truly Villainous

@Nerdy Reference I had realized I didn't have time to read your CS, and I just did. God. xD
It's very possible that he and Kaori will dislike one another very much, so many conflicting points they are almost opposites in everything. XD

My Not so Heroic Academia a.k.a. Truly Villainous

So !

@Geyter I completely overhauled Kaori's background and got rid of the problem regarding the Wealth - it's not there anymore. I also modified her Aspiration to something that fits better. I didn't like what I wrote before, and I think I prefer this as it's more 'Logic'.

My Not so Heroic Academia a.k.a. Truly Villainous

@Nerdy Reference My English is pretty good, but I might some times not understand the meaning of certain expressions very well. Did you say that because you say you are copying me, or did you say that because you are calling me un-original because I put a Theme song on my CS? :P

My Not so Heroic Academia a.k.a. Truly Villainous

I see one or two ways to work around that. She can either be rich enough to finance the crime organisation she'll be a part of. Or, what I had in mind, since she's still young she doesn't actually have control of the companies which are being managed for her. She have access to a certain % of it?

Either way, I am not a power player and I didn't think of using it all that much. Mostly, it was some reason to have a big House and to explain how she got her suit made.
