I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.

Vivian & Sylvia Altissima

Uninvited Guests

"Oooh! That sounds tasty!" The little monster group had stars on their eyes and saliva dripping from their mouths. Although, "...What's lasagna?"

"...What are we gonna do with the Alraune nectar? Are we gonna mix it with food and it'll taste better?" The captive Giant Mouse asked the Altissima sisters, still dangling from the vines. "And can you let me down now? My head's feeling funny..."

"A-And what're we gonna do while they're cooking?" One of the Devil Bugs asked. The question sparked a discussion in the group, the voices and chatter of the little monsters filled the kitchen. It made it hard for the Liliraune to hear what was the dominating suggestion in this sudden meeting. Fortunately, their captive Giant Mouse continued to be helpful.

"Hmmm, it looks like they want to explore more of the guild." She said. Would that be a good idea? The Altissima sisters will need to speak up if they do not want that happening.

"Lasagna is a pasta dish with tomato paste and lots of cheese!" Vivian said, hoping the mice will mirror the excitement in her voice, "It's a big dish, so there should be plenty to go around." She had decided to leave out the meat, since these were pests, not guests, and she was just trying to get rid of them; there was no need to use more ingredients than necessary.

Placing the dangling giant mouse down, Sylvia added, "As for the nectar, since I can't agree to give you a man from the Guild, I gave you the nectar instead. Alraune nectar is magical and can be used to lure men and make them fall in love with you." This was half true, it could lure men, but it was like a drug, you had to keep supplying the victim with to keep them hooked. With the amount they gave the group of monsters, they could lure a man and keep him for a short while, but to keep him enticed would be up to them and their romantic skills. Sylvia knew it wasn't right to just give her nectar away, but she hoped that the amount of harm done would be minimal. At worst, their victim has a single night he regrets, at best he actually likes the mice and cockroaches, and they live happily ever after...yeah, right.

Their request to explore the guild flustered Sylvia, who pleaded, "...Just...stay in the kitchen. Here, some things to snack on while you wait." A few vines reached into the pantry and drew out a sleeve of crackers, which will hopefully keep them occupied. The liliraune sisters really didn't want to let these little kleptomaniacs loose in the guild."
Tanegashima Kaguya
Liftoff


"Now, now," Kaguya said, trying to calm the classroom down. She stood up from her desk, exuding an air of authoritativeness mixed with her usual bombastic nature. "What Sasuke's saying might be a bit abrasive, but he's got a point. If Enka could turn, so could any of us. Our powers are not what makes us heroes. On the other hand, no matter how much power one hero can have, even Zeal can be taken down. So to answer Sasuke's first question, what are we willing to sacrifice? The easy answer is 'everything', or 'my life'. But only villains are willing to sacrifice 'everything', and sacrificing your own life will only give us another tragedy. We can only sacrifice that which is ours to sacrifice. A villain will sacrifice the live of others for his own gain, but those lives are not his to give. So we should consider the fine line between being a villain and a hero, even if it forces us to face a tragedy near and dear to our hearts. And there are things more worthy to sacrifice than your own life. Your time, your effort, your resources, even your relationships. Very soon, some pro-heroes are going to come in that door. They didn't have to be here, but they've chosen to sacrifice their time and resources to raise us up to be future heroes. So we should ponder on those who have invested in us, be grateful, and pay it forward. We'll get through this." Kaguya gave Sasuke a knowing wink, hoping that she was able to convey what he had wanted despite his choice of words, and that she had softened the tension between the classes. Sitting back down, she now had to look forward to the pros that were about to arrive, and wondering whose agency she was going to join.
I do think Honoka would be quite impressed by Kaguya's quirk, because it's really cool just by default. And she's the sort to get excited about that sort of thing. I'm not sure how much of a mecha fan Honoka is, but I definitely get the references and that's pretty fun, too.


From class A, I'm primarily looking for a rival, since I'm going off the assumption that the few times class A and B have had an opportunity to interact, it would have been in a competitive environment. Honoka is a good candidate for a rival, since Kaguya would for sure take interest in someone who could effortlessly stop one of her signature rocket punches. However, I think Kaguya would prefer a rival with a slightly more abrasive personality, since she would thrive on their mutual desire to constantly one-up each other. I may have failed to mention Kaguya's primary fault; she assumes that every one of her peers is capable, and she therefore expects nothing but their best, which tends to make her blind to individual weaknesses. Her hyper-positivity and can-do attitude can come off as condescending because she won't accept excuses, even if those excuses are valid. She doesn't believe in handicaps, and tends towards recklessness, even in simple training exercises, which can lead to dangerous conditions and a general disregard for safety. She thinks everyone is as tough or as smart as she is, and her inability to come to terms with her disappointment can cause her to exude an oppressive, almost slave-driving pressure to her peers as she continues to encourage them far past their limits. I don't think this is going to be an issue between Kaguya and Honoka, but I thought I should mention it.

I think that Kira and @The Ghost Note's Tropica would go along well OR with @sly13's Todoroki, mainly due to their tempers.
But could also enjoy working with @Lord Indra's Sasuke as she'd want to learn how to fight at close range from him.


I can see Kira and Kaguya being an unhealthy duo. Like I mentioned above, Kaguya not only feels invincible, she assumes her peers are as well, and likes to encourage others to live their 'best life'. If Kira has a tendency to act out or behave irrationally, there is the possibility that Kaguya might join in or encourage such behavior, without realizing that said behavior might be harmful to Kira or those around her, until its too late. Still, going overboard once or twice resulting in negative consequences might be a cause for self-reflection and bonding through mutual shared pain.

Also, upon which part of the body do Kira's black and white auras work, the brain? The heart? If one of those two, then Kaguya's rocket fists would probably create a bit of a loophole since Kaguya's fists could be inside the aura, but her brain and heart might be outside, thus leaving her unaffected. Just a thought.

Tropica is interesting. Depending on how ambitious Phoebe is for fame, Kaguya, who is already an up-and-coming youtube star, might be able to offer some pointers. Of course, Kaguya revels in the attention, which partially validates Phoebe's world view, but if a fight with a villain results in collateral damage to a hospital, for example, Kaguya will organize an impromptu charity event immediately after the fight, asking her viewers to donate generously. Kaguya can flawlessly weave altruism into her hero work, and might be able to show Phoebe that the two are not mutually exclusive.

Hasaki is probably a good candidate for Kaguya's class B rival; if she sees someone arrogant, she'll assume that they have the skill and/or power to back it up, and she'll see such a person as someone she can test her mettle against. She also knows that such people are probably easy to goad into giving their all, allowing them to build off of each other endlessly.

I haven't decided on what martial art for Kaguya to focus on, but incorporating one will definitely make her a lot stronger. Discussing her options with Sasuke is probably a great way for them to become friends. She also doesn't look down on him for being quirkless, since she believes if the school accepted him, then he must be good enough to fight those with quirks. That being said, if Sasuke challenged someone to a 'quirkless fight', Kaguya would encourage the opponent to use their quirk since she believes Sasuke is capable of dealing with it; which could potentially endanger Sasuke's wellbeing.

My character is Yukimura Shinon:
-Musically Talented in singing and using instruments; Harps and Flutes
-Keeps herself Organized
-Intelligent
-Follows the Guiding Principle of her mother
-Super girly (mostly wears dresses)
-Embarrassed frequently
-Switch Personality (kind, sweet, bubbly, shy or aggressive, competitive, serious)
-A Perfect Model Student @ Eirei (Perfect Attendance, Follows instructions to the letter, etc.)
-Watches Anime in the limited free time she gives herself, every genre, but she only has enough time to watch a single episode.
-Himura DNA inside of her to keep her looking young

Her Quirk is Tidal Wave. Her family is the Yukimura Family, a well-known family, who are retainers to the Himura Family. Also, The Guiding Water Hero: Glaser is Shinon's Mother, the Number 8th Hero.

I think Shinon would praise Kaguya's quirk as impressively cool. All because she follows her mother's principles of guiding others. It is better to use positive connotations when describing other's quirks. Shinon does understand the concept that Kaguya is going for. She's not a hardcore mecha fan like Kaguya, but she can understand where the concept comes from. It's a bit funny, but she hasn't ever played a video game before and would be lost in trying to play any of them.


As someone from class A, Shinon and Kaguya's interactions would probably be limited to a handful of competitive events. However, if like a traditional Japanese School, Eirei publicizes test resutls and grades, the Kaguya and Shinon would probably recognize each others names, as I can see them both topping the lists. She may look and behave like a delinquent, but academically, Kaguya's no slouch. Actually, I can see a classic, tropish, genius vs hard work dichotomy, since Kaguya is a 'genius' in that things come easily to her, so maybe someone who gains high scores through hard work, study, and effort overcoming Kaguya as an obstacle would make for a good scholastic rivalry that becomes mutual respect. I don't know if Shinon has a complex about the Himura's, but if she did, Kaguya's just the type of person to teach someone not to live in someone else's shadow, since Kaguya doesn't believe that 'where you come from' defines who you are.

I’ll throw my hat in here about Yozoru

* Has a vested interest in Astronomy as a result of being born with a star in her chest
* Trustworthy
* Respectable grades when it comes to STEM related things (naturally) like space and Astro-tech
*Primary personality traits include emotional intensity, do or die attitude, extroversion and sympathy
*Wears revealing things like fishnets, crop tops and ball shorts because her body doesn’t handle heat well, due to her quirk raising her temperature to a fever temp normally, (she’s used to this of course) basically she always dresses like she’s in Arizona during the summer
*Not exactly well organized, knows where things are but only casually
*huuuuuge lesbian (space is a lesbian, it’s not called a gal-axy for nothing)
*Very proud of herself physically, and treats her body like a temple, because she is the god to which it is devoted. After all, not everyone has neon-violet glowing hair and hydrogen-blue glowing eyes


As a rocketman, it is Kaguya's purpose to "reach for the stars". Kaguya will find Yozoru's quirk incredibly interesting, while also respecting its sheer power. Yozoru's probably a good candidate for Kaguya's Class A rival, since they have some interesting quirk parallels. Even though I mentioned above that Kaguya might look for a rival with a more abrasive personality, this matchup is hard to pass up. They can also share in their love of the sciences and visit a planetarium together.
Hey, so Discord is a little too fast for me, so I'm going to do some discussion here instead and take things at a slower pace. For starters, I'm putting the class rosters down here.

Class A
Girls:
  • Yukimura Shinon
  • Aurora Yashia
  • Oda Honoka
  • Heidi Mya Thomas
  • Yozoru Hoshi

Boys:
  • Matsushima Keiji
  • Dietrich Konig


Class B

For now, I want to discuss existing relationships. My character is Tanegashima Kaguya: mecha-otaku, gamer, youtuber, bit of a prodigy, tomboy, tolerant/open-minded, competitive. Her quirk is detachable rocket limbs. Please respond to this or PM me if you would like to discuss your character's relationship with Kaguya, and how they may have interacted in the previous year.

I am also welcoming a rival from Class A and a rival from Class B.
@Lugubrious @Enkryption

I have no particular preference either, though I might suggest a two-way collab instead of three-way, only because in my experience, collabs take longer the more people are involved.

Okay! Finally done!


Vivian & Sylvia Altissima


"Can we have food, then? Lots of food for all of us?" One of the Giant Mice asked. The rest of the dozen loudly agreed with her. "You can make food, right? Yeah, make us food!"

"Can we... can we have a man, too?" A rather timid Devil Bug made quite the demand. "Just one, though. We're not greedy, one will be enough. Even for just one night?"

"Which man, though?" The captive Giant Mouse asked.

The group looked at each other, pondering for a moment, before nodding at each other. "We want the brown-haired plain boy!" They all answered, almost in unison.


"He's not plain!" Sylvia declared vehemently, before clearing her throat, "Ahem, I mean, I can't give you any of the men in the Guild, but..." She looked at Vivian with a look of guilt and apprehension.

"We can definitely make you a large helping of food," Vivian interjected, "How does lasagna and cake sound?" She was hoping she wasn't stereotyping, but she assumed the Giant Mice liked cheese, and the Devil Bugs liked sweets. But Vivian knew the look Sylvia was giving her and nodded in consent.

"...and we can provide you with a little bit of alraune nectar, as long as you promise to use it somewhere else. Believe me, if you use it here, we'll be able to tell, it is our nectar after all," Sylvia, offered, hoping that this would dissuade them from persistently asking for Neil.
Sorry for the delay. I had missed Lugu's post, so I was waiting for Mae to come fetch Gammaton. After scrolling back, I realized that it was already happening.
@Lugubrious

"Ah! Mae," Gammaton said with pleasant surprise in her voice, "Did you get my message, then?" Gammaton had been lounging on a bit of fallen architecture, pondering existence, and wishing she had something to read. She got up quickly at Mae's approach; being seen as a layabout was uncharacteristic and unbecoming of Infactorium's general.

After being filled in by Mae on the particulars of their mission, Gammaton nodded contemplatively. "It does not seem as if Lady Faetalis wishes to do harm to our enemies?" Gammaton asked incredulously. Though Gammaton obviously didn't understand the particulars of Yggdrasil having been a game world, their enemies in the past had either been mobs, players, or their minions, none of which could be 'scared' in the normal sense. Sure, 'Fear' and 'Flee' were crowd-control statuses that could be temporarily applied, and mental damage was certainly a thing that existed, but no battle, large or small, had been averted simply because the other side had been 'afraid', so Faetalis' proposed tactic was a bit of a foreign concept for Gammaton. Still, Faetalis was the greatest strategist Gammaton had ever seen, so it was not his place to question her plans.

Taking up Israfil's Hammer, bludgeon, and the Fan of Zhuge Liang, her focus, she set off with Mae. Being an illusionist, Gammaton was perfectly suited to the task at hand; the ability to use Israfil's unique passive to manipulate sound was an added bonus. "What do you think would be most effective to scare these intruders off? I'm thinking undead, ghosts in particular, no offense. But among monster races, the undead disproportionately tend to have fear-inducing skills, and tend to be difficult to kill if the opponent is unprepared. At the very least, it should force them to retreat and re-equip themselves with holy weapons and armor, buying us time. I might spread some miasmic toxins too, not too strong, to really give them the impression that this area is cursed."

Gammaton fell silent for a moment. "Did Lady Faetalis say anything about taking a captive? There is much I could learn from a captive if allowed to... consume their grey matter." Back in Yggdrasil, Consume Knowledge allowed Gammaton to execute a low level NPC, see their library of skills, and temporarily take one for herself at half of the original skill's level. Yet somehow, Gammaton had the sinister impression that she would be able to acquire more than just knowledge on their enemies' skills were she to consume knowledge this time around.
