Final Fantasy: Stranger in Paradise is the funniest shit I've ever seen while also not being a bad game. Just crack open some cold ones with the boys, blare Limp Bizket, and Kill Chaos.

Liliana

@Crowvette


Liliana had frankly had enough of fighting many people for one week, and opted to instead continue speaking with Io for the time being. She really felt like they were clicking, the two INCREDIBLY intelligent pink-haired magic users that they were. Io was even listening to her warning about the mushrooms not being super easy to deal with, and asking Liliana for a favor!

"Mhm! Living in the moment is SUPER important to fairies, so I'll be sure to remind you!" Flapping her wings, Liliana would carry her sword on her back and plop down atop a paper lantern sitting on a cupboard. She'd wave at Io once she looked at her. "Remember! Momentai! ...That's what that means, right?"

Thinking for a moment, Liliana would sit up. "Ooh, wanna share magic tricks? I could...um...summon a cow. Most likely. That's been happening a lot more than any other spell for some reason. But I'd really like to see your book at work!" The fairy unsheathed her sword, holding it up above her head. "Oh, I can also do fire-rocks, Magic-breaking fields, and make someone as strong as a giant! ...Sometimes. The sword picks the spell."

Eula

@AzureKnight


Eula had to admit, she wasn't quite sure about taking a human along with her for combat purposes. Not because she doubted in his abilities, but simply due to Mamono being...well, "stronger". Not to mention that her core programming would also mean that if push came to shove, she'd 100% have to sacrifice herself to protect him. But from the way he walked, the muscle definition visible on his body, and the high-quality blade he possessed, she was sure that he was less likely to be a hindrance than she herself was.

Her optics would focus on the man holding the "glass" blade, looking to Shizuka as they maintained position for a moment behind a corner. "Before we begin combat, I believe it is important for me to divulge this Unit's functionalities. Enhanced Durability equal to six-inch steel plating, Polymer-Muscle fiber enhancements to give the punching weight of a bear, and Demonic Stun-Gun," she said, holding her hand out as several "bullets" ejected from her arm silently, glowing a dull purple as the general shape of a tube was made along the length of her wrist from demonic energy. "This Unit is incapable of directly causing harm to humans, as such, you must be the one to eliminate threats if it comes to that. I can, at least, stun them for up to sixty seconds per round that makes contact with them."

Gripping the side of the wall, Eula was ready to vault over it to attract attention, before looking to Shizuka. "I shall create a diversion, and focus their attacks on me so you may strike from behind. Is this course of action acceptable?"
Short post to answer stuff is up.

Liliana



Liliana would clear her throat and get to answering her new wizardy friend's question right away. "I'm pretty sure it isn't that simple...I mean, its not just the mushroom, its also that the mushroom made her into a Monster. I think that happens a lot with other species in women...some kind of corrupting thingie turns them into a Monster. So...I guess a good question is, has any Monster ever gone back to being human?" Sitting down, Liliana looked up and frowned.

"Basically, I have no idea...but I am pretty sure just yoinking her big mushroom hat off won't do anything. Aside from maybe make her super mad. Plus, Wonderland stuff works on different rules. Normal Magic there is way weaker due to everything being crazy...even the air. So...maybe she's just crazy? What exactly happened anyways?" Liliana asked. The small fairy felt very out of the loop on why they were talking about yanking mushrooms out. That sounded really painful.


And here it was, probably the most "adventure" the group had been on up to this point! A dastardly villain wielding terrifying magical power, and three heroines to stop him! Two of which were on the ground, jiggly bits touching, and Alice standing there being the only one taking this seriously. "You! So you're the one who-" Alice started, before Brandy got up and started laughing heartily.

For like, a while. Honestly it was amazing that Vreznok hadn't just sicced his minions on them while Brandy giggled.

Anyways, once she finished and before Vreznok snapped, Alice continued with: "So you're the one who's been making a mess of the graveyard!" Despite the fact that Alice had caused a fair bit of property damage. Totally innocent. Even as Brandy cowered at her side, Alice showed no sign of fear. "I've dealt with bad customers with more bite than you, you half-pint freak! This is for Chester!" Alice shouted, before throwing one of her flash bombs inside and hurriedly shutting the door. Even as Ghouls scratched and banged against it, Alice held firm before hearing the deafening "boom" and the flash of light visible from the cracks subsided, the two ghouls inside now thoroughly blinded and deafened even as Vreznok shrieked his orders. The gnome had been smart enough to duck behind his desk and cover his ears.

"Now, Sofia!" Alice commanded, opening the door to let Sofia take potshots at the two ghouls. It was a fair number of arrows to take down each due to them resisting her damage, but they'd go down well-enough.

"You fools! More boobs than brains on all of you, looks like! I can resurrect them AS MANY TIMES as I wish! Martin! Thelma! Get up this instant!" the gnome would shout, before two bolts of dark energy flew from behind his desk, entering the ghouls. While before they had been animalistic and swift, now they seemed...slower. More sluggish. They'd gone from Ghouls to Zombies from being destroyed once and brought back. Which, thankfully, meant that they were slower. Even still, Alice couldn't take them on with her bare hands, meaning that it was time for Brandy to step up while Sofia provided covering fire.

Sofia huffed. "Don't listen to him, girls. If this dark mage was truly as much as he puffs himself up to be, he'd have raised Revenants instead." Sofia seemed confident, perhaps more relieved than ever that there were, in fact, going to be approximately 0 ghosts in this adventure. However in spite of her bravado, her arrows weren't doing much to the zombies. What they'd lost in speed and power, they'd gained in being literal hunks of meat that could walk. Without a proper weapon to knock them down, it wasn't looking good.

"Brandy, you take care of the zombie on the left!" Alice said, brandishing her claws and slashing at the zombie before her as it reached out, cutting off its hand and having to push it back with a kick as it lunged at her. Then, she would uncork a vial of holy water on her belt and splash it on the zombies, causing them to start burning and moving slower.

Vreznok would poke his head up, pompadour getting shot clean-off by Sofia's archery skills. "Y-You insolent whore! Take this!" he shouted, before chanting some manner of spell quickly, firing a series of energy bolts from his cane at Sofia, knocking her back from the force of the magic.

Now, Brandy was face to face with the resurrected Martin, who was muttering about brains, or some such while shambling slowly. Hopefully, she was as good at putting down dead creeps as she was living ones...

Liliana



Shizuka would see Liliana's eyes sparkle as her offer for help was taken, the little fairy disappearing in a flash of light before returning to her big size, likely a surprise for Io. "Alright, let me go over everything I know!" the fairy said, before drawing her sword and excitedly holding it aloft.

What would follow would be the least helpful Fairy lecture ever given. Not because it was necessarily unhelpful, but because fairies didn't name things in the ways known to most humans and monsters. Too lazy to have sensible words or taxonomic documentation, Liliana would tell them about "Zoomy Shrooms", "Purple Gulpers", and "Bad-Blues". Liliana knew a ton about plants but...the names...the names were just nonsense. "Oh, and there's also a ton of plants from Wonderlands that does crazy stuff to people. And I mean, really crazy. Mushrooms that make you think you're a king, plants that make you bigger or smaller, caterpillar tobacco, and Mad Hatter mushrooms. The last of which are sort of like...big human hats that make you go crazy."




Eula



Within the village of Otomo sat a young woman with a soul and body of steel. Until she was approached by Lady Kyouko, all walking by might have thought her a strange statue before she rose and followed the woman of means. While it was apparent that Lady Kyouko had the resources, she didn't wish for all-out assault to occur on the Varjans. A sensible decision, tactically speaking. It was much easier to defend a location than to assault it from sea. As such, Eula would have no objections to the plan and would faithfully adhere to Kyouko's instructions. Taking her place within the magic circle with a packed lunch of local food hanging off of a stick slung over her back, the Automaton would wordlessly accept the teleport, shutting her eyes and waiting for the magic to pass.

Upon being greeted by Ayu, Eula would nod in response to her question of being part of Kyouko's task force, as well as being an Automaton. "Correct. This unit is designated as Eula 039. I will seek out those in need of help and eliminate obstacles to Shizuyama's people. Priority Order received: Greet others."

Wasting no time to depart, Eula would march off in search of other individuals that were clearly out of place, finding three such members of the task force having a discussion in the temple. Peeking from around a corner, she would observe the three before walking up and bowing. "Eula, 039. A pleasure to meet you." Before anyone could get a word in edgewise she would depart, leaving Io, Shizuka, and Liliana with her greeting interrupting the conversation.

Feeling more than ready to take on so-called "quests", Eula would disregard the stares being thrown at her. While many monsters could pass as human, the shine of metal on her cheeks was unmistakable. Her fashion was about as minimalistic as one could get as well, not helping her avoid the whispers of citizens. But that was okay. She didn't need to be liked to protect humans. When she would come upon a woman crying by a tree in the temple, Eula wouldn't hesitate to hear her out.



"Understood. While this unit is incapable of killing humans, I will gather allies in order to defeat these criminals."

With her promise made, Eula would begin to hunt for both information on the bandits, and allies that could help defeat or kill a large number of bandits. The three she'd seen in the temple seemed occupied with the human male among them looking tired, but there had to be others she could persuade to assist. After all, there was the very real possibility that in the event of fighting humans, Eula would pull her punches and be defeated.


After the strange metal girl bowed to them and left, Liliana turned to her talking-buddies. "...Uh...a-anyways, mushrooms, right..."

Liliana



Before Liliana could get her answers in, her good (recently acquired) friend Shizuka came to ask questions about Alice. If the fairy recalled, that was the Mad Hatter she'd arrived with. ...Was she really in trouble? It sure seemed like it. But for now, she felt like those who knew what was going on should handle it. As much as her knightly demeanor had her want to help no matter what, it sounded like a delicate situation if Shizuka needed a wizard's help with it. Keeping quiet, Liliana would get a chance to answer Io's questions.

The fairy knight felt like she had a good understanding of how the wizard explained things (she absolutely did not), but was getting kind of lost at the talk of liches and literature. Lichdom was...what now? "Hmm...being honest, I don't really know what lichdom is. Is that like, being in charge of Lychen? Fairies can kind of do that. Not me though, since I'm more of a swish-stab-defend-her-majesty kind of fairy. As for books and literature...we fairies don't really have things like those, Liliana explained. She would then elaborate with: "I've heard its already hard for humans to print or write books, now imagine doing that at my size! You'd probably need super good glasses just to read a sentence off the page. Besides, fairies usually have attention spans as wide as a bee's wings."

Now that Liliana had cemented that fairies had no culture in the book department, she would take a seat on the floor, wings at rest behind her. Even though it wasn't her problem...she felt like she should try and help Alice if she was able. And thus, she'd ask Io a question of her own: "Is there um...anything you think I can do to help Alice? I-I'm not so good at magic stuff, but I could maybe go get something you need to help her?" In any case, at least the fairy was trying to live up to the loosest code of chivalry.

@Dark Cloud
Best of luck to you man, hope to see you again in things!
Maybe...from now on, Brandy should take up the rear. The girl had enough brain cells missing already, and all the headlong charging was going to take a serious toll on her one day. Still, Schadenfreude existed for a reason, and Sofia was helpless to stop snickering. Alice meanwhile was much more level headed and approached the door with caution, tugging Brandy away from it. "Well, whoever's behind this knows that we're here...so I say we go in as prepared to fight as we can be," Alice said, pulling out her Thundercracker.

Upon seeing the deadly explosive be pulled out, Sofia hurriedly went over and said: "A-Alice, let's reconsider here. After all, we can't get paid if we blow up the entire mausoleum." Alice hummed at Sofia's words, putting it back in her pouch and instead brought out a small bomb that Brandy recognized: The one that stunned their little rabbit problem back in Litroot. "Okay, so my plan is we yell: 'Come out and surrender now', and if they don't, I throw this in and then Sofia shoots them."

Sofia looked incredibly concerned, looking to Brandy. "Is Alice always this...bloodthirsty?"

There was also always the possibility that whatever evil magicks behind the door were getting really cranky that the girls were gabbing right beyond it. So...y'know, it'd be super rude to interrupt the team meeting.
Sorry for the wait, Levia's plan is punch. And then punch twice.
When Levia resolved herself to breeding chimeras, she was also unaware of just how...messy of a process that would wind up being. Between unmentionable fluids, eggshells, corpses, blood, shed skin, and any number of various unique messes made, Levia was basically a glorified janitor until she bred intelligent enough Chimera to help. It was a good thing her slimes were willing to help out breaking down all the crap, otherwise...well, it'd be a health hazard to rival her poison breath.

The annoyance that was the overgrown rust-breathing dragon was a nuisance that Levia was fully intending to swat once she wasn't busy with literal babysitting. Babysitting abominations against God, but...still, babysitting. Luckily for her, the emergency meeting was called when a majority of her prototype chimeras were still asleep, so they wouldn't eat each other while she wasn't there.

Still unused to her human form, Levia would hesitate to sit before realizing her hips were still human-sized and lacking a whole other set of limbs and sat down. "I'm assuming this is about that giant dragon that's been harrassing us for a week. ...If we're making a plan to deal with it, we should avoid using metal weapons. Heh, if anything, I might be the best suited to bring it down," Levia said, making slight punching motions.

"I've tried poisoning the air when it makes passes, but I think it might be immune," Levia added.
