Anna growing into Durga one part at a time in a sequence -- as if the armor is swallowing her up, feet then legs then stomach then gauntlets + chest, shoulders and finally helmet, and each scene has her fighting AGs. I had a whole thing planned out at one point, almost considered PMing it to the artists because frankly we could really set something to that OST and it would make sense... mostly. Couple parts would be weird.
Dammit, now I'm picturing this and it's making it me way sadder than it should...
I kinda want to draw it
 
@Avalanche , what's all this talk about a game?

Is that why you have stopped updating this quest? Because you are now seriously making an indie game out of this quest's premise?

If so...I'm sad but I hope you succeed.
 
I mean, if we have people here with the necessary skills, we could totally make a game.
Personally, I think we should make a visual novel. It requires a smaller team.
 
Top Hatted Zombie - Wibbly wobbly little Anna, Anna growing up from wibbly wobbly
I do much of my thinking about Gaiden to OSTs from RWBY -- a few of them are beautifully relevant, probably because RWBY is also a very "loss of innocence / emerging unstoppable enemy" themed kind of thing when it wants to be. Die, Time To Say Goodbye, sometimes Red Like Roses II. I've got a mental montage set to Time To Say Goodbye, stuff like babayAnna poking her head out of a barn and seeing her father take an AG bullet before going full valk all over. Later, 16yo Anna rising above an army...

YOU
THIS IS YOUR FAULT
I HAD THINGS TO DO THIS MORNING
WHY

Anna-WIP
(also watch me draw her hair different in literally every frame)

I think that might be indicative of her hunching up her shoulders as she catches her balance, and then relaxing them down once she's recovered.
Yep. Added in a few more frames to make it more obvious. (and finished the second bit, but I think I'm going to take a break now before we get to the sad)
 
Now you are heading for the Dating advice and Matchmaking elective class.

Dating advice and Matchmaking.

Dating. Matchmaking.

… Dating; accompanying another for the purpose of furthering a romantic relationship. Matchmaking; matching two or more people together, usually for the purpose of marriage. Marriage…

Marriage.



You stand at the threshold into the classroom where the elective class is held and hesitate.

Oh gosh.

Oh gosh.

What on earth is wrong with you?

You shake your head furiously and step into the room.

On the other side of the room, another ranking list; [If you had to settle for a girl: Valks]
[6th: Shuri Kravala]
[19th: Anna Sanchez]
... Shuri's higher ranked? Sorry, no.


Guess who's missile girl? Not Shuri, that's for sure.
…You flee. Nope.

Nope.

Nope. After marriage. After marriage. After marriage.
hahaha

XxXxXxXxXx

You turn and twist in your sheets, feeling like a can of eels are squirming inside your stomach.

Dating advice and Matchmaking.
Dating. B-boyfriend. Ki-kissing.
Matchmaking. M-marriage. Children.

Ha-hawawawa…

You shove your face into your pillows, but your cheeks just burn hotter. Not helping is that your heart and lungs had restarted themselves again, the constant jackhammering in your chest echoing through your head.

Oh gosh.

…Boyfriend.

Another one to join the eight thousand, five hundred and three.


No, this is enough.

You seize control of your body and categorically shift yourself towards sleep. You can think about such things after the Antagonists are destroyed.
Oh man.

Anna is, on my Perfect Cinnamon Bun, Too Precious For This World scale, firmly in the Protect Her Smile rating.

So not only has she fought literally for years to protect her town--in which she utterly, bitterly failed--she also cast away most of her likes and dislikes, purely focusing on efficiency. She only retained so much interest in food because she had pancakes with maple syrup on her birthdays, she also basically cast away her digestive system; food was a luxury enjoyed in brief spurts, not a privilege maintained by people who should've protected her.

I-I'm not crying, you must be crazy!

And this is supposed to be "just" -1. I'm a afraid of her backstory if that had been any worse.

Welp, time to get back to reading. *checks time*

... Sleeping it is!
 
Fun fact: the "Naruto run" actually works perfectly well. Slightly better than other methods, even.
Oh, I know.

:oops: I was a child, too, you know?
Well, remember Shuri's been a famous Ace for years, whereas Anna hasn't really done a lot of showy stuff in public yet and a lot of her best accomplishments are classified.
Missiles were perfectly public (entire squadron training, Anna intercepted early automatical defenses or something), which is what I was talking about.

Tl;dr: It was mostly a joke.
