London By Lamplight: A Victorian Magical Girl's Story !

Thanks all for being here and joining up. :)

@Hammerman
That is very strange because LuckyBlackCat used it for her character sheets she's sent me in our PMs. I will verify it as quickly as possible. In the meantime, if you wished, I know I had posted my CS in the Interest Check's first few posts. You could go there and pick up the 'Raw' code if you wanted. You can also create your own CS using any other format, that is fine too. I just posted that one because I was trying out tables and in case people liked and wanted to use it !

I will keep you posted. ;)

STORY ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

The year is 1886, London. Queen Victoria was crowned some 48 years ago and England, as well as the world, has known relative peace under the British Empire world’s Hegemony. Under such peace the land prospered and it’s people were propulsed into the future through the advancements in technology and industry. People were attracted to cities, and it’s opportunities, like moths to light. Although, as moths sometime dies by the heat of the light’s flame, so too does the English people.

The rapid expansion of industries did little in the way of safety procedures and, frankly, seemed to care little in the safety, or lack thereof, of the people who worked for them. Similarily, the general living conditions for the new middle class and working class in cities were abysmal. As such, a majority of the people who came to cities for it’s many opportunities ended up… discouraged, to say the least. An air of depression fell on these poor people, with no one to really care about them...but posivity was not to be destroyed utterly. In these times of scientifical discoveries and industrialization there remained a speck of magic - a drop of unknown and mysticism. Magic, as it was, exists and always has. In a way. Magic, of course, for the lack of a better word. Even in this atmosphere of hard and tough reality, children could still be found running around, playing and being kids. Happy. This is why, most probably, the mentioned magic was most often found in younger folks. More precisely, young girls from early teens to young adulthood, mostly.

Their nomenclature might change from one place to another, but it would always remain something along the lines of

"Magical Girls"

or a variation of something Magical in the region’s lore. Here, they are known as Magical Girls to themselves, but also "Witches". They didn’t come to exists out of thins air. Creatures known as "Pixies", feary like little creatures, give those humans their powers. Why? To fight off creatures of Darkness, of course. Creatures that come to existence through human negative thoughts and emotions and feeds off of them until, eventually, they consume their host and take physical form. The duty of a Witch is to stops these creatures from taking Physical form, or destroying them as quickly as possible if they reach such a state. Those creatures are known as "Hydes".

Witches ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Your regular Magical Girls. Can be called as such, or as Witches in this universe. Their age can vary from young teen to young adult, but only girls are targeted. They gain their powers from Pixies. Their magics vary from one Witch to another, but they all take their magics from their Pixies companions. The magic powers are limited to the Pixie's reserves.	Pixies ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Small entities of light, positivism and generally, all things Good. Nevertheless, they live hidden from Humans and the Darkness they often bring. They are veiled in mystery and not much is known of their society. The only certain thing is that that come to humans when they need a new Witch and enhances them with their magic to allow them to fight Hydes; their polar opposites and nemesis.	Hydes ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ They are born from Human's negativity and darkness and feed on misery, pain and suffering of others. They are invisible to anyone and anything except for Witches and Pixies, whom they fight almost on sight. A Hyde can become visible by humans, and also extremely more dangerous, if they feed enough that they can consume the Human that spawned them. Hydes are the polar opposites of Pixies.

Initial Setup ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

For a long time most Witches - or Magical Girls - seems to have either worked on their own or simply were not present in London at all. That was until Veronica and Sophia, two of the elder Witches in the area, grouped together to form a sort of group or 'covent' in order to unify their forces and more easily dispatch any threats that might appears. Every Witch in the area were invited, regardless of social class. Maybe there would be frictions, maybe they wouldn't all initially be comfortable around each others...but in the end, they had the same goal, did they not?

As such, the Witches of this story mostly knows one another already. They would have hunted together and spoke to eachothers at least a few times before the beginning of this tale. As it stands out, to facilitate their reunions, they just decided on a location to be their 'Headquarters'...Sophia's home. A large and well placed estate in a quiet place in a rich neighborhood, near the edge of town. That is where the group agreed to meet up tonight, in order to discuss the coming night's event: a joint hunt for a larger than normal herd of Hydes.

	About this Roleplay ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Hello Everyone. This is a RP idea from LuckyBlackCat and myself that we've been working on for a while and wanted to try out. Our names might be interchangeable because sometimes one will have written something the other will post, so don't mind that too much.

Ultimately, it's a Magical Girl's story Roleplay, but with a twist as it takes place in the past - the Victorian Era.

We are looking for a small group for this RP - anywhere between 5 to 7 persons on top of ourselves. We intend for the Story to revolve around the players' characters and they give/feed us to work with, so it's not going to just be a straightforward line where you follow a premade story. There will be a premade story and general guideline, but players input and characters will influence events and story a lot.

As such, we are looking for players that are willing to work with us and give as much as they receive. We're looking for people that will not ghost on us. If you have to or want to for any reasons at all then please, please tell us. We will understand, we just want to know so that we can adapt !

We will keep this Interest Short with all that's necessary and not much more until we find enough persons to build up the OOC.

See you around !

Rules:

• No godmodding, metagaming, powergaming or anything of the sort. Even magical girls have their weaknesses.
• Post your CS in the OOC, and move it to the Characters section once I and SimpleWriter approve it.
• Each player may have a maximum of two characters each.
• Posts don't have to be super long, but please write at least a paragraph, give other players a decent amount to work with. Quality and content is encouraged over quantity for the sake of quantity.
• Be respectful of each other OOC. If issues come up, please try to resolve them calmly and without drama. Drama won't be tolerated in OOC or the coming Discord.
• Please, please, please don't ghost on us! Life happens, we understand that, but if you have to take a break or drop out, please let us know.
• Violence, swearing and innuendo are fine to an extent, the feel of this RP will get quite gritty at times after all. However, we don't want excessive descriptions of gore, graphic sexual content etc, so refer to the guild's rules.
• To confirm that you've read the rules, put the title of the last magical girl anime/manga you watched/read somewhere in your application post. If you're new to magical girl stuff, put the last anime or manga you watched or read instead.
• If you have any questions, ask away.
• First and foremost, have fun!

London by Lamplight: A Victorian Magical Girl Story !

@Epsir Hello. I am glad we manage to get some attention. :)

This is going to be the character that I will mostly use in this RP. You asked to see a CS, this is going to be mine. The code is going to be given to anyone who would want to use this format, too, but it's not obligatory.

Hider

Sophia Marjorie Wright
'Justicia'

---

Sophia Marjorie Wright Age: 19 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: At first glance Sophia is poised, calm, mature and have her wits about her. She seems to constantly give off an aura of nobility; standing proud and strong. Although on a deeper level, which is not that hard to find once striking a conversation with her, she is also deeply caring and kind. Selfish to a fault, some in her family would say. Among the desperate crowds of Victorian England, it was said by some that Sophia stands as a ray of sunlight; Pure, Innocent yet strong and with purpose.

History:

Sophia is the eldest child of a prominent Londonian family, the Wrights, who's father is a well known and respected Admiral in the British Royal Navy. As such, Sophia grew up rarely seeing her father as he was most often gone on peace missions to keep the Pax Britannica. Her mother, on the other hand, was always present. She always had been sickly and weak from her youngest years, which was why the couple had rejoiced in noticing that Sophia didn't inherit this condition. Instead, she was a strong child and a strong personality that didn't shy away from saying what she thought and doing what she wanted. Sophia grew up under her mother's tutelage, learning the virtues of kindness and patience, but also inherited her father's strength of character and will to act. Her youngest years were happy and fulfilling - but her mother died suddenly after giving birth to a second child, a younger brother.

Ever the strong one, Sophia did not let the death of her cherished mother change her. If anything, it strengthened the lessons she was taught, as a way to respect her memory. Sophia's father was still rarely there, even less so the first few months and years after the death of his wish. Sophia took on the role of leader of the family's house and tried to raise her little brother, although this task fell mostly on servants and caretakers because she was busy and judged too young.

She only got busier after meeting her Pixie companion only a few months after the tragedy. While taking care of her mother's garden, a creature of seemingly pure light approached her and gave her an opportunity; to give her the means to proactively use her willingness to act and help by giving her the powers to make a difference. It did not take much explanations for Sophia to believe and accept the Pixie's proposition.

Ever since, Sophia fulfilled her new duties as Witch superbly and without fail.

Magical Identity

Witch Name Justicia ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Upon transformation, Justicia's hair changes to an almost pure white with only one strand of golden hair, representing Sol - on top of also becoming very long, following her every movements like a beautiful strand of silk would a veil dancer. Her regalia is mostly blue with lots of golden decorations which changes colours depending on the magics Justicia uses. Weapon ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Justicia's weapon is a blade with the shape of a musical note. The center of it is rounded and offers some protection, behind which is the handle. The seemingly decorative golden engravings along the sword changes colours depending on how Justicia uses her magic.

Pixie Sol ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Just like the Witch she chose to enhance, Sol is poised and strong willed. Unlike Sophia however, Sol has more of a cold calculating personality that favours results over actions taken to get them. The destruction of Pixie's antithesis, Hydes, are Sol's main and most important goal. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Once transformed, Sol most often takes the form of a golden hair brooch in order to be under the sun as often as possible.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Sun's Dance
Justicia's magic seems complicated, but is actually very straightforward. It enhances the Witch in short but potent burst of magics that gravitates around movements, but isn't limited to. The main form the magic takes are the leg armours Justicia gains as she takes her magical form. These allow the user to skate upon any surfaces as if it was ice, allowing for great speed, grace and movement. On top of this, The Witch can tap into her magic to gain short enhancements such as momentum in a straight line, high jumps both horizontally or vertically, skates on vertical surfaces such as walls and others.

The magic has no offensive options apart from the sword itself, which can cut through any and all Hydes encountered thus far. As a result of this, Sol only chooses strong willed individuals that are highly disciplined.

STORY ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

The year is 1886, London. Queen Victoria was crowned some 48 years ago and England, as well as the world, has known relative peace under the British Empire world’s Hegemony. Under such peace the land prospered and it’s people were propulsed into the future through the advancements in technology and industry. People were attracted to cities, and it’s opportunities, like moths to light. Although, as moths sometime dies by the heat of the light’s flame, so too does the English people.

The rapid expansion of industries did little in the way of safety procedures and, frankly, seemed to care little in the safety, or lack thereof, of the people who worked for them. Similarily, the general living conditions for the new middle class and working class in cities were abysmal. As such, a majority of the people who came to cities for it’s many opportunities ended up… discouraged, to say the least. An air of depression fell on these poor people, with no one to really care about them...but posivity was not to be destroyed utterly. In these times of scientifical discoveries and industrialization there remained a speck of magic - a drop of unknown and mysticism. Magic, as it was, exists and always has. In a way. Magic, of course, for the lack of a better word. Even in this atmosphere of hard and tough reality, children could still be found running around, playing and being kids. Happy. This is why, most probably, the mentioned magic was most often found in younger folks. More precisely, young girls from early teens to young adulthood, mostly.

Their nomenclature might change from one place to another, but it would always remain something along the lines of

"Magical Girls"

or a variation of something Magical in the region’s lore. Here, they are known as Magical Girls to themselves, but also "Witches". They didn’t come to exists out of thins air. Creatures known as "Pixies", feary like little creatures, give those humans their powers. Why? To fight off creatures of Darkness, of course. Creatures that come to existence through human negative thoughts and emotions and feeds off of them until, eventually, they consume their host and take physical form. The duty of a Witch is to stops these creatures from taking Physical form, or destroying them as quickly as possible if they reach such a state. Those creatures are known as "Hydes".

I like it. It's refreshing. Simple. It has that MHA feel to it.

I stand by the others on this.

@LuckyBlackCat@Tenma Tendo@Heartfillia

My Hero Academia: Another Story

@Genon

Hey. I'll keep it short and sweet (I am a blunt person, no harm intended);

Negative Point - Too young, but that's an easy fix.

Negative Point - Forgive me for this but I absolutely have to ask this one Question; Have you read the other characters before presenting you idea. I ask this because, as you know now, Freya is Cat's character which already have a Quirk called Feline about basically being a Cat, without the physical features.

Negative Point - Now I got two big issues with your idea in general. First of all, you basically have the same Quirk as Freya, which might be Okay in it of itself, but boosted up to eleven. On top of that, you wrote that you have all those gadgets that furthermore boost your character. Back to my first question; if you had read the other sheets, you'd notice that no one have Hero gear or very, very few. Except for villains. If you HAVE read them and still wrote your character with a number of gadgets on par with Batman, then it's almost insulting.

Suggestion - I feel like you couldn't decide between two different ideas; Cat Quirk and Gadgets intensive character. Those two things feel different, and it's just weird that you'd give both to one character. The Gadgets alone could be the sole idea to build one character around, making your Cat Quirk just an added bonus. Or vice Versa. Like many persons we refused, you tried to make him too versatile, being able to do too many things, instead of having one idea and building solely around it. This is what I feel.

I suggest you go back to the drawing board and find one idea to stick too. Hero Gear is fine, to a certain degree, but don't forget that apprentice heroes aren't supposed to even have the right to have it until they have a permit, so this is completely out of MHA's lore, too. I might allow you to keep one gadget, such as the Cane, if it's inherently part of your character's persona. Say, your character has Cat features and you want them to look like an English Gentleman. The rest of those gears are too much. The only hero that has gear that I can think of is Yuga Aoyama, and it's only one simple thing that pairs with his Quirk, and not an added power in it of itself.

Does this make sense?

After the Dawn (LuckyBlackCat and SimpleWriter)

~ Ogasawara, Hitomi ~

Now that took Hitomi by surprise. Asking how she felt? She should have done that years ago, she immediately thought...but it also reminded Hitomi that she once saw Seika as something else than the stuck up girl she seemed to be today. There was a time when they had fun together, trusted one another and would worry about the other's well being...

...but that was before Seika showed her just how much all of that didn't mean so much to her, considering how badly she treated Hitomi after that. All evening, it was as if encountering Seika made Hitomi forgot all of her own problems and dilemmas. It was easier to be angry at her old friend than to worry or be angry at herself - not that she'd notice any of that.

"Since when do you care." were the first words she said all evening, as she slowly stood back up, her eyes finally meeting those of Seika's. They were cold, nothing like the Hitomi Seika knew before; Hitomi used to be full of life, full of joy - making jokes all the time and finding fulfillment in making others laugh and be happy. She seemed so sure of herself.

None of that was left in either Hitomi's voice or her stare, which seemed like it would pierce right through Seika's defense. She did her best to retain her composure, but the smallest of details on her face betrayed her; the tips of her lips, her eyes and such. She bore anger, resentment. It was childish, maybe, but it was there and it burned...and probably never stopped burning for the last few years.

"...You're--" but she was stopped mid sentence as the Manager walked in, surprised to see the mess Seika was cleaning up. "What happened here?" said the manager, more confused than angry. He may not have been used to this, considering Seika's more than exemplary work's performances.

Hitomi looked down, her hair covering her eyes as she walked to her things, grabbed them quick and headed for the door. As she did so, and as she opened it, she just stated; "I don't feel so good tonight. Sorry for the mess! I have to run." and got out in the pouring rain without a umbrella.

The manager and Seika were left to themselves. He scratched his head while letting out a deep sigh "Well...and we've been searching for someone for so long, too. Hey, Seika, what do you think...Should I keep her or search for someone else? What did you think after working all evening with her?"

One thing was certain, though. The manager may have missed it - and maybe Seika did, too - but in that last word Hitomi said before being interrupted; it was full of spite.

My Hero Academia: Another Story

Erika Sommer VS Yi Helme
_____________

Yi looked slightly disapointed when Maple king pointed at him and said he couldn't be alone. But nothing was said other than that, not even when he said he didn't catch his name. He was then paired with Erika. studying her as she walked, He noted her laziness in her walk, could be she was truely lazy. But Yi learned long ago not to judge a person how they appear/ carry themselves. It could be a side effect from her own quirk, or a ploy to lower his guard...or that she was just lazy.

He simply rested his bo-staff on the ground behind him. He only armed himself as he was planning on fighting multiple people. But one on one, as the Maple then stated, he didn't want to have an upperhand. As she turned back towards him and eyed him. She didn't make a move towards him, to which he sighed. He would have preferred for them to make the first move as he liked to watch before acting.

So he decided to move towards her, taking no offensive stance. As if he was walking through the park. When he was close enough he suddenly sprang forward with suprising speed aiming quick jab to the left cheek with the back of his left hand.

By the time her opponent made it in front of her, Erika had her arms crossed, keeping the same bored expression. It actually wasn't so much a bored look as it was an uninterested, impolite way of looking at people, actually. His sudden burst of speed was impressive, but not surprising enough - he did look exactly like the close quarter combat type. His hit never landed, though, as something seemed to have stopped the hit. At the same time, Erika took a few steps back quicker than her usual pace, but still not 'battle fast' .

What stopped the hit was a shadow mass tendril thing that seemed to have sprouted out of nothing. That thing blocking the hit, Erika stepping back and her counter attack all happened in a very short amount of time, mind you, meaning that she at least wasn't just boasting. She had good control of her Quirk, whatever it was. Right in front of her, at her feet, two growing black spots seemed to grow on the ground until two balls of what could only be described as shadow came floating in front of her. She raised both her hands, the balls levitating around her arms.

"Momo stole the spotlight already for any kind of war cry like 'Hey, dodge this!...' or whatever." she sighed "She always steals the spotlight, but whatever. Catch this." One of the two ball suddenly sprung into action and headed straight for the opponent

Yi's eyes opened slightly as his fist was stopped by mist tendril. With an inquisive look, as if he was more interested than annoyed that his attack didn't hit. Yi didn't move when Erika took a few steps back, his eyes never leaving her as he remained focused on her. He shifted only slightly when two balls of shadow rose from the ground, only to prepare himself for the next logical attack.

Erika then went on to say the other girl always steals the spotlight, to which he raised an eyebrow. She then changed up the 'phrase' and sent one of the balls towards him. He twisted slightly, and raised his right arm to bat away the ball just enough to deflect it away from his body. "Why must one yell a 'warcry'? It is a foolish thing. You are litterally giving your opponent notice that you're about to do something."His voice was calm and inquisitive as he quickly moved forward, realizing this ball that he batted away could come back he would take this moment to push her back.

He then attacked her with two punches, first aimed to her face and the second towards her belly. If blocked or hit, it didn't mattter, he would then continue with a swift twist, lifting his right leg and aiming his knee for her side.

Right as Yi was charging her, Erika moved with speed she didn't display up until now; the remaining floating ball went above her head and both her hands joined up inside of it, only to back down in a fighting stance, the shadowy ball seemingly split in two now having 'enhanced' her hands. "I know!" she yelled at no one before managing to dodge the head hit. She blocked the stomahc's hit with both her hands - and surprising strength. Yi would noticed that not only was her block stronger than she should be, but the energy wrapping her hands felt something. It was...heavy, thick.

Despite her best efforts though, Erika failed to notice her opponent's incoming third attack. "Damnit-- !" she spit as she took the hit, jumping away yet again. This time however, the aura spread a bit around her. It took the form of a pinkish semi-transparent mist. "Wow! He's fast AND strong - isn't that totally amazing?!" said a loud voice coking from Erika's location. Erika's eyes rolled to that statement as she mumbled something along the lines of 'Annoying'.

"...Yeah, he's faster than I thought, but doesn't look that smart. Gosh, such a pain...Come on, let's finish this now, Lee. Or whatever your name is..."

With an impressive lack of motivation, Erika raised her arm and a misty tendril launched forth from the mist's mass to to go straight for Yi. It came from the left, hopefully forcing him right - where another tendril was launched along the floor as to be harder to spot. Her hope was to get him in a pincer attack.

Yi only smiled when she managed to block his first two attacks. She was very quick to be able to actually catch those punches. Alot faster than he first saw. She was clearly stronger as well as he could feel her hands did not budge at his attack. Was this because of the quirk covering her hands? Possibly, it did feel thick and heavy, perhaps absorbing the impact of them. Though it could clearly be she was just already enhanced with out it, only using it to cover that fact.

While she jumped back, he moved back as well...hopping a few steps back on the balls of his feet. Suddenly another voice appeared out of nowhere. Completely opposite of the girl who stood infront of him. At first he thought it might be Momo, but it clearly came from Erika's direction. She spoke to the voice and attacked lazily once again. He found it odd she would move so slowly in this attack. He realized her first ball that he dodged hadn't come back. It must be what she was planning! He jumped to the right flatting out his body horizontally and corkscrewed, looking back back to see if the ball was coming towards him. He didn't see it.

Cursing under his breath he landed, lookingforwad just to see another tendril coming towards him, and knocking his feet out from under him. He grunted as he twisted again, using the momentum of his feet now knocked behind him to use in a somersalt roll towards Erika. A smirk on his face, as he wasn't at all irritated she outsmarted him. It only spurred him on to try even harder.

As he rolled to his feet. He sprang forward even more launching a punch for her face with is right hand. However he aimed just left of her face, not wanting to even punch her. He stiffened his arm to prepare for a swiping block if she did. His true goal was to get his left leg behind her own, then to grab her shoulder with his arm that he 'missed with' and push her to her left, using his leg to trip her. Leaving his body open but prepared for any body hits befor then.

The smirk on her opponent's face removed any smile from Erika's.

"Damnit." she thought when Yi was backing off for a moment. "This guy feels nothing... no anger when he got hit or outsmarted. So damn annoying...

"Eyes up, here he comes!" The voice answered out loud to her thoughts. She would be annoyed, but he was right - Yi was on the offense again. She evaded the first punch with ease...or so she thought. Before she could get back to safety or say any witty comment, she spotted his leg going behind hers and it was too late to block it; she's been feinted. "Ahh!"

Her body tipped over and, with the force of Yi's push, hit the ground with a great thud.

Yi's body seemed to be joined with Erika's as he twisted with her and fell to his left knee. His calf and thigh pinning Erika's leg between them as he followed up with a left handed Jab aimed at the girl's temple. Erika raised her hands mid punch. "Stop!" Erika spat just before Yi's fist stopped a mere inch from her left temple. "I forfeit, alright? You win...". He held it there for only a moment before allowing his soft smile to come up again. He stood up, twisting as he did to unlock her leg. I appreciate the match. He said calmly as he bowed his head to her in respect.

He then offered a hand to the girl, wanting to help her up. I admit you tricked me with the first ball you sent and never used again. I thought for sure you were going to bring it back at that moment."

Erika looked up and crisped internally at Yi's smile, looking away and denying his help. However, the pinkish mist - which earlier felt as if it was tangible - actually grabbed it. The mist was still lingering around Erika, kind of like an aura that englobed her body and anything close to it; which included Yi's outstreched hand. It felt as if the mist suddenly tightened around his hand and, gradually, a form started appearing. From Yi's hand going upwards, the mist took the form of what looked like a torso with two arms, the rough shape of a head area with two bigs eyes and a wide smile. The entity looked like something out of a halloween decoration store, kind of like one of those ghosts with those pointy teeth - but pink in colour. It was floating above Erika, she ebing where it's legs would be.

Happy Dusk, the name of Erika'sq quirk, shook Yi's vigorously with both of it's hands. "Nice battle, mister no-smile. You truly fight with guile! Pow, Bing and ding, you gave her a good whopping, Hahaha!" The entity bursted out laughing, finally letting go of Yi's hand and mimicking as if it was holding it's non-existent stomach.

Erika quickly stood back, cursing at the pink cloud and waving both her arms around as if trying to disperse smoke. "That's enough! Ok, leave now, please!" Happy Dusk looked around some more before it'S face disappeared back into the mist, then the mist dispersed entirely as Erika turned off her Quirk and turned to Yi, visibly bothered. "You didn't even use a quirk to defeat me, did you? Geez...You really were a pain from start to finish. Next time, though, we'll see if you can pull it off again." she said before walking back towards her friend Alex and their teacher.
