Magitech Girls! A mecha musume/magical girl and monster fighting RP!

That might be a good idea, in case the other players miss it here.

Magitech Girls! A mecha musume/magical girl and monster fighting RP!

Great, that clears it up for me, thanks.

Magitech Girls! A mecha musume/magical girl and monster fighting RP!

Oh hey, I'll try to get a post up tonight.

How are the Magitech girls brought to the room that Ayaka is in, though? Are they escorted by some kind of SEED representative after being taken out of class, or something else?

Kotori's answer to his question wasn't anything surprising - he studied plenty, too, so he nodded in understanding. What she added after a short pause however, was more unexpected.

"Huh, that's cool," he said approvingly, before the girl turned the question back onto him.

"Hm, I kind of split my time between work, studying, and sports," he said thoughtfully. "And I try to fill in the gaps with anything else that can keep me busy." He paused. "I guess I don't like not having anything to do."

He followed Kotori through the store, grabbing anything he knew his parents would have liked him to get. He also grabbed plenty of junk food - chips, cookies, instant noodles, soda, and the like - for himself. It was by no means exhaustive, but it'd be enough until his family was settled in.

As he paid for his food, he realized that he'd be running out of money soon. Grabbing his bags, he exited the store after Kotori.

"I'll have to start looking for a part-time job soon," he said to her, to make conversation. "This is the first time I've been without one in years." Not only would he not have money, but he'd also have to find other things to do to fill his time until he got one.

He looked around for moment, and noticed that the two had finished what they had come to do.

"Oh, I guess we're done." He looked over at Kotori and smiled at her. "Thanks for everything, Shirohane-san," he said with a small bow, before straightening himself and continuing. "I'll see you at school?"

I'll have a post up in a minute, so I think we'll be done soon and ready for a timeskip.

Yo, Unending/XLeg, wanna plan out some relationships beforehand between the SEED peeps? Considering how they're all co-workers and stuff.

Sure thing, but I can't say I've got any great ideas at the moment.

Hmm, maybe Masaki could be the one in charge of maintaining Ikuu's prosthetics?

I'm not sure how Ikuu would take to Masaki's sour attitude, but Masaki would respect (and not comprehend) Ikuu's ability to appear so happy despite his condition. He'd still be curt and dismissive with him, but likely a little less so than with most others.

Toma Tanaka - Warakuma Shopping Mall

Seeing Kotori's smile made Toma's heart soar. No matter how faint it was, it was there, and it was the first she had worn in his presence. As the girl took a bite from the donut, a dumb grin spread across his face. His hand quickly moved to scratch his nose, in an attempt to cover up the involuntary reaction.

After a moment, Kotori pointed out the stationery shop. He looked over, having forgotten about it sometime over the last few minutes.

"Oh, yeah! I guess we should head over there then," he said, taking his own donut out of its bag.

As hungry as he was, the treat was gone by the time they entered the store. Deciding he'd only buy a few notebooks and pencils for the time being and come back when he knew what was required for each class, he was able to gather what he need in a short time.

"That's the only other thing I needed to get done, I think," Toma said to Kotori as he finished paying. "Now all that's left is groceries."

As the pair made their way to their next destination, Toma continued to look around, increasing his familiarity with his new home.

"So what do you do with your free time, Shirohane-san?" he asked curiously. "There seems to be just a little less stuff here than in Osaka."

Saito Masaki

Name: Saito Masaki
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Appearance:


Personality:
Masaki is extremely pessimistic, asocial, and awkward. He nearly always looks annoyed with something, and is quick to tell people to piss off, causing him to be something of a common enemy to the workers of SEED. He absolutely loathes interacting with other people, though when it's for work related purposes, he finds it much easier to stomach. When it comes to small talk and the like, however, he'd much rather carve his own eyes out with a butter knife. Even just being around others makes him uncomfortable, and this seems even worse around women. And in this strange line of work, that is a god-awful trait to have.

Underneath all of this though, he does have a heart. He knows the fault is with him and his mindset, and not the world. He sees that most people enjoy life, and while he'll never understand how, he does his best to not ruin that for anyone. One way he does this is to put on a facade - by always looking annoyed and angry, he hopes to keep people away from him, to save them from the pain of talking with his awkward self.

He is extremely self-sacrificial, and will never think twice of aiding someone else (subtly and from the background, of course) at his own expense, using the logic that he loses nothing (as he already hates the world and himself) while the other person has something to gain. He will always give up his own happiness for someone else's.

When it comes to his job, he's a bit of a workaholic, mainly because being busy all the time gives him an excuse to ignore other people. He works incredibly well under pressure, staying calm and focused no matter the circumstances.

Brief Backstory:
Masaki has always been asocial and awkward. There was no one, identifiable event that made him that way.

The Nephilim attack, though, did change the way he thinks. though. While the attack unnerved him, he could visibly see that he was no where near as shaken as the rest of the world was. He saw how much people suffered from the loss of their homes and loved ones.

His town had been completely destroyed, his father had been crippled for life, both his parents had lost family members - and he didn't really care. While everyone else in the world was busy crying and dealing with the shock, he had already accepted it.

That was when he realized he was different - twisted and strange. Most people actually enjoyed life, actually enjoyed spending time with others and following the rules of society. Upon seeing so many people in pain, for the first time in his life, he was able to empathize - just slightly - with others.

And so his mindset changed. Instead of avoiding people for his sake, he avoided them for their sake. He began to go out of his way to help others no matter how much it adversely affected him. He got people to focus their hate on him so they would be nicer to each other. When things went wrong, he always found a way to take the fall.

After all, being the negative person he is, he'd be selfish to not help others be happy, regardless of the consequences for himself.

He joined SEED at 18 years old, hoping to help minimize any damage and pain that Nephilims could cause.

Abilities:
Masaki is an absolute genius when it comes to piloting and building vehicles, and this talent is the only reason his superiors put up with his terrible attitude. The more pressure a situation presses upon him, the better he gets - when things start going south, he can stay with-it enough to improvise well.

He knows his way around firearms and is decent with hand-to-hand combat.

He doesn't quite have the knowledge and intelligence to design the advanced weaponry that SEED uses, but he's smart enough and good enough with his hands to build and maintain them using the design plans.

Occupation: Mecha and ship pilot on the field, engineer and mechanic at base.

Toma couldn't help but let out a small laugh, both from the realization that his question had been unexpected, and by the quizzical look on Kotori's face.

She took it in stride, however, and answered, before asking him why he wanted to know.

Instead of saying anything, he simply replied with a sly smile, motioning her to follow him with a small movement of his head. He made his way to the donut shop, which luckily had no lineup. Stepping up to the counter, he made his order.

"I'll take two cinnamon donuts," he said, running a hand through his hair to get a few stray strands out of his eye. "In separate bags, please."

After paying for them, he took one bag in each hand, and turned to face Kotori. He held one out towards the girl, giving her a small, relaxed smile.

"As thanks, for showing me around," he said. "I hope it hasn't been too painful so far." She seemed like the kind of person who would have politely declined the offer, if she had known before he had spent any money. But now that the treat was already bought, she couldn't possibly turn it down. Hopefully.

I edited Yuna's CS a bit, Vita, so you may want to check it out again. The biggest change is her power, and I also added a bit to her personality and backstory.
