SayakaQuest: Trauma is a Thing

Reader mode
I suppose the rather poor success thresholds reflect Sayaka's general weakness.

Also: d'awwww, we're not voices in her head. Every Puella Magi needs voices in her head!

    • [x] Get out of the sky!

    [ROLL: 65]

    You quickly get out of the sky as the stars themselves spin like razor blades, shredding the very rear of your cape into thin shreds as you descend. You reach the floor quickly, creasing some more of the paper as the spotlight comes back towards you. Capella towers above you with its million scissors snipping at nothing as it slowly floats above you, with its dead arm dragging across the ground behind it.

    [x] Stay at range and continue to fling swords at the strings and tubes.

    [ROLLS: 88,93,56,16,90,96]

    You do a nice dodge backwards as several more arms descend towards you, and they all hit the paper floor in front of you as you do a nice dodge. "Sheesh! So many scissors!" You aim upwards towards several of the strings, and promptly send five more swords sailing upwards.

    Two miss completely, puncturing more of the sky, while two others hit some of the strings. Two tiny arms fall, and one large one collapses right in front of you as the paper witch is thrown off balance. It brings one of its larger claws, and promptly attempts to attack you, and its wild snapping arm begins gunning right for you.

    [x] Check your soulgem if you get a safe moment.

    Not right now! The glow is starting to diminish slightly.

    • Not entirely sure I understand the modifiers here. Is a generic slash 45% likely to succeed while a slash to the left arms is 65% likely to succeed?

    ...Maybe I should add modifiers to the specific parts. Lemme try changing that.

    EDIT: Alternatively, fuck modifiers. They're gone.

    So is the red text from someone else or is this just your thoughts on it Moid?
    [] Launch yourself through it. (???)[+30 for left arms]You can't possibly be serious.

    Can we get a rock? (Rock beats Scissors, Magical Girl steals scissors, scissors beat paper.) Or maybe a flaming sword?
     
    Welp, the modifiers are back. Fucking...I don't know if I should keep them or not for later updates, but everyone already has them in their votes so fuggit.
     
    [x] Dodge!
    [x] Slash at left arms.

    Personally I like the modifiers. Gives a more tactical feel to the fight and the way it's expressed now is pretty clear.
     
    Not very familiar with this since I have yet to see a episode, unlike Eva. Sounds like just the right amount of batshit insanity according to the wiki and stories ect,ect.

    [x] Dodge!
    [x] Slash at left arms.

    • [X] Dodge.

    [ROLL: 66]

    You do a flying leap out of the way of the scissors, but the knob at the end of them hits your ankle. You're sent into a mild tumble, but even then, you can still clearly get a chance at an arm.

    You smirk as two swords form in your hands. "Chance!"

    [X] Slash. (45%) [+20 for left arms.]
    -[X] Left Arms

    [ROLL: 88+20]

    You spin gracefully, and immediately, every arm that comes close to you pauses for a second in mid-air...before they explode into shreds. Blades hang uselessly from several strings in the ceiling, before the wires are let go by an invisible puppetmaster, and they crash into the scenery slowly and deliberately. The scream of several women is heard as the witch turns towards you, and attempts to attack you in mid-air.

    You can see the entire thing below you. The head its right beneath you, but even with it, you can still see a few arms surrounding it.

    [] RUN AWAAAAAAAY.

    • Wait...wait...if the witch and everything in the witch's territory is made of paper and string...can we burn it? Last time I checked, paper is flammable.

    We don't have any way to start a fire. And before you say 'magic', we don't know how to use it like that.

    Seems like a similar set up for the fiendfyre scene in the Room Requirement. Ie, it turned into a giant incinerator.

    Edit-Is Sayaka fireproof? Because I am uneasy about setting our current dimension? on fire.:p

    The strings.

    [ROLL: 10]

    You try going for the strings with a flying leap, only to be smacked out of the air by a giant pair of scissors, before another pair grabs your cape and yanks hard. You're being pulled towards the mass of scissors all upon the top of the witch, and you have mere seconds to get out.

    That said, it's hard to struggle, especially given how little time you have and how the cape is currently choking you.

    [OPTION SELECT]​
    [] Ditch the cape.

    [] Jump out of there! (???)

    [] Dodge. (???)

    [] Use your momentum and slash. (???)
