Uh...
huh.

I am not sure, actually. Neither of the twins actually did much, aside from watching the big girls duke it out and then nursing them back to health. You did not try to fight and there was a certain amount handed out for being there.

You know what? Okay.

I just remember that MGs get XP for (in descending order. I think) winning a battle they really should not have, being in a battle they had no right to be near, and just being near a battle where they might be collateral from the shit being thrown around.

We were straddling the line of the latter two with our actions in, at least, the last fight here. Brave Heart was being held down, but it was still a battle, technically, and MGs live on technicalities. And we survived a round of Brave Heart and Judge crashing into our car as well.

*Shrug*

I mean, we're definitely no Summit or anything (Who's a Legend-Maker taking on targets that would normally see the deployment of experienced Legends or an Epic), but it is there.

So it actually reduces pain instead of just redistributing pain? That makes it much better than the description makes it sound. The wording of the ability's description gives it a "this ability is a double edged sword" vibe.

Grah! I thought I had this fixed...
On the other hand, it is alright if some of the descriptions are a little misleading... this can be taken either way, so it is still alright.
I did not want to write it as "suppress the pain" or something like that... because that would give off an even worse vibe.

Yes... well, I did put in a little extra there.
As for being no Summit... you are indeed not. In difference to her, you have exponential growth after all.

I'm worried about Abyss Knight. And Bianca is... literally the only human character I actually like at this point. I think the twins need a reason to join her that they don't have right now.

If we were, say, told that the other group doesn't have a presence in the area and we'd be on our own if we left them then I could see them going to meet Yggdrasil.

The issue is that "take it away" has a very different connotation to "make it go away". Saying "take it away" implies that it changes ownership.

Huh... weird, I was actually trying to make Judge seem nice enough... well, whatever.

I can understand that you are worried, though. Just curious.

However... distance is... well. Let us just say no one but the girls from Yggdrasil is nearby and the girls would have no reason to assume otherwise.

Good point. I think I will change the wording a little.

*Shakes hand* Kinda. It's not about assuming if anyone from the other faction is close, it's about hoping they are. And that's a whole different thing. Hope springs eternal... until your told rather definitively that no, it doesn't in this case.

Judge is a magical girl. Humans turn into magical girls, but after they do they are something... else. At least in the minds of humans it seems that way.

Well, the only contributions to that fight were:
1) Brave Heart splattering Ignition Sentinel
2) Ignition Sentinel getting splattered
3) Us telling Judge to stop Brave Heart
4) Judge stopping Brave Heart
5) Us healing Ignition Sentinel and Brave Heart

6) made sure all MGs live :p

Noone really did a lot, mostly cause we did not want anyone to get hurt.

Fair enough, I just wanted to be clear that both choices are viable for different reasons. I would not have given them in-character otherwise.
If you want, it can also be between hoping for a silver lining (leaving) and trying to make the best out of the circumstances given to you (staying)... but I am not sure if I should push it that far.

Not 'human' - in a faction sense.

Then again, our experience with humans is limited to our family and classmates, and that's it. All other characters are either magical girls, mooks for slaughter, or our dog.

So they are Yggdrasil, huh. And here I was thinking that Ignition just got carried away in the heat of the moment. But Judge said she was independent back when she didn't have a reason to lie to us, and she also said she was supposed to meet with a group implying she does not belong there. I think she might be approached if we decide to leave.

I am curious about meeting Abyss Knight, but not to the extent of ignoring our sister's warning.

Actually, Judge mentioned that she trades with them for basic necessities. They meet up every few weeks, that is why she knows them.

Unless things are different from crystalwatcher's setting, Magical Girls are still classified as Humans, but they are not classified as Mortals.

Belief is Reality. *Shrug* If enough humans believe strongly enough that Magical Girls are not Human then they won't be.

I don't know if it's happened here or not, but it's very likely trudging along that path if nothing else.
 
Hmmmm, Nazi Magical Girls, or leave?

...yeah, I think I know what I want.

[X] Leave (gather your things and learn where to go)
[X] EXP-Plan Mercy
-[X] Moon - The Aegis - 110 XP
 
[X] Stay with them (agree to meet with Abyss Knight)

[X] EXP-Plan
-[X] Save it

I'll be the uhh... Realistic voter then I guess. Bottom line is we just do not have any food. And the girls don't know how to survive in the wild.

*Shrug*

Not that hoping things go well is a bad thing, but...

Problem is, we stay, we will be forced to join them. Do you really think Black Knight will take kindly to being refused? The woman is the equivalent to the leader of Magical Girls, Nazi edition.

"If you ever meet her, just don't listen. I heard she won't hurt Magical Girls even if they disagree with her, only if they try to protect regular people and get in her way. She is hard to miss... tall and blond, with a black armoured dress and a two-handed blade with red markings. Her eyes are usually hidden by a mask that matches the blade, black and red."

That does at least sound like she is not completely off the reservation, though probably not a long term arrangement for us.
I'd say meet her. Politely say that we don't want to kill anyone and ask for directions towards Kibo.

I am curious to how Abyss Knight is as a person.

I'm glad everything went well except going with the group who's leader we were told not to meet.:V

I really want to listen to big sis but the fact we have no idea what's out there and we lack supplies doesn't look great, I'm not sure if Judge will help us further considering she took us to them so she didn't have to have us around.

Hey hold on, look we meet them do they really seem like Nazi's? I really hate how that term is being thrown around now.

No in both cases.

Considering how her actions speak 'Make an Ideal World for Magical Girls by killing everyone else' it's hard not to draw comparisons.

I think wanting to join Kibo counts as standing against her, but I'm only 40% sure on that.

Eva did score points with her, but Judge likes being independent and free... looking after two kids is not exactly what she imagined.

Yggdrasil and Kibo coexist.
If Transcendent Strength really wanted to wipe Yggdrasil off the face of the world, she damn well could.

Plus, Nazis would be people that discredit another ethnicity ("race") due to believing themselves superior and born to rule.
Those girls?
Those girls have a serious grudge against the people that try to kill them at any opportunity and believe killing them all first is the only way to make them stop.

Actually it kind of is. Hitler used the Anti-Jew sentiment to unite people, Abyss Knight seems to be uniting MGs with Anti-Human sentiments because there already is Anti-MG sentiment.

This barely resembles Nazi-ism. And only on the surface at that really.

Abyss Knight is the one that was attacked first in all likelihood.

Yggdrasil goes out of it's way to avoid fighting MGs that aren't brainwashed from the sounds of things. If anything they're probably Rival factions, not Enemy factions.

And please, stop fear mongering. If you have questions, ask. Don't accuse when you're only half-sure, at best, about what you're accusing a party/person of.
