I might as well share my own thoughts here, too. I'm thinking some sort of alchemist, either a technologist brewing odd potions, bombs and doing similar mad science, or going more the internal alchemy route with an egoist who's a walking drug factory.

Also, easiest way of dodging around the 'bloodline ended because no longer human' problem would just be to like, have more kids.

@ERode

The first son inherits the throne and continues the bloodline, the second son becomes a super-soldier... Just like in real life.

I feel like it's always one of the calc classes that just wrecks people. Not always the same one, but any time this discussion comes up, it's often one of the three that each participant did terribly.

Calc 2 was my worst by far, too. Failed it the first time, not even ashamed of it.

Though the craziest/highest level stuff I've messed with is probably differential geometry. Very glad I mostly need to deal with ordinary differential equations at best.

@ShovelI'll see your maths and raise you physics.

100% serious question out of curiosity: nastiest math class you've dealt with?

And hopping on the bandwagon. Because why the hell not?

While she can often give Tian a run for his money, Runa did take a bit longer with her meal, so she could actually enjoy it, and keep up with the table conversation along the way. That and, particularly in public, the sort of table manners involved in eating things with multiple mouths on the ends of tentacles were usually quite frowned upon. And she wasn't here to terrify the other guests.

She enthusiastically joined in on all of the toasts, raising her own glass of cola. The meal itself was definitely a matter more of quantity than quality for her. Who cares if it's more or less pre-prepped by robots, the point is there's lots of it. Small portions were her usual, so it was nice to really indulge. She did look pretty darn full by the time the guest of honor arrived.

The first indication that Runa had noticed the young lady was her ahoge turning to point in her direction. "You're a little late, but I can make room over here." She scoots over to clear some space. "I'm not sure if we have any super secret dinner places. It used to be a couple all you can eat spots, but then they saw how much some of us can eat, so we've had to adapt." Runa's probably also got her face on at least one wall somewhere one can eat a 72 ounce steak, much more prestigious than any warning not to serve her.

"I'm honestly with Tian on this one. We're our own security detail. So unless someone takes the totally lame move of blowing up the whole place just to get to us, we're good."

"I can eat stuff like this whenever I want," Runa replies. "I don't even need to worry about getting fat," she continues with the smuggest look imaginable on her face. Damn nonhuman creature with a literally bottomless stomach and far too efficient control of her own biomass. "I mean, I don't need to stuff myself too often, not like I'm getting am arm chopped off every day. Probably is a good idea to load up before the mission, though." She hadn't even considered that. It had been a while since she'd been really beat up.

"It can't be any worse than me," Runa quipped at Iphie's own remark about singing. It wasn't like she was a trained musician like a certain other member of the team. "It's definitely all about having fun and not worrying about if you look or sound dumb."

The meeting adjourned for the time being, Runa had her own things to attend to. Mostly school. But preparing for the next mission was somewhere in the back of her mind. All she really got was that wearing a jacket might be a good idea. She is not a clever girl.

When it did come time to actually make her way over to the DIHOP, she considered just flying there. It was, by far, the quickest route, if also one of the least considerate for everyone else moving about in the sky. She went with the on foot approach, it was still easy enough to get around that way, and the air quality never bothered her whether it was full yellow smog or perfectly clear. She was built of sterner stuff. It was also pretty easy for her to slip through more or less unnoticed inside the big crowds formed from people flowing to and fro in the Shanhu nightlife. Unless she was doing something obvious or walking around like some armored sentai villain, most people didn't notice her as anyone unusual. It was when she forgot her appearance and showed up at a convenience store for a quick snack while covered in her own blood and looking like a monster that things tended to get interesting.

After arriving at the restaurant and quickly finding Tian by his sheer size and presence, if nothing else, she took a seat without any fanfare. Some stares, now that recognition could really set in because she wasn't just another person with somewhere to be. The place was busier, and somehow less interesting, than it would be for a 3 AM visit. You meet really fun people then.

"I'll have a giant double bacon cheeseburger with extra fries, a big pile of chicken and waffles, and uh, might as well just bring a whole pitcher of cola." After a pause, she added, "just for me, I mean."

I do like magical girl things, and hey, Fate crossed with them honestly does work better than it should. Or at least, does so on paper, so hopefully this will do well.

I'm not sure if I can cook up a solid character, but I'll certainly think about it and see if anything starts kicking around.
