Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

There's a reason I don't like Gaia.
Never said she was nice.

She has Humanity's best interests at heart.... Individual humans... not so much.

Crystal only tells us what's happening after we pick a particular option.
I would be willing to give you a general idea of what each of the options are for if you asked.

RIP Sixth's awesome hat.
You're horrible.
 
Also, I would give non-thread based hints as an apology, since I seem to have riled you up, but I've got nothing that fits for the others. Mainly because I don't know.
It's fine. I just hate that one particular option gets hints that basically broadcasts 'Do Me Or Regret It Later!' While the other options don't.

She won't. I think what Gore is getting at is that trusting the omnicidal bitch to only target the folks we're more opposed to is... probably not a good assumption.

Oh I fully expect Paleblood Moon to attack Gaia too, but Gaia is like the Nepgear of Divine Entities, and is so fucking durable it's insane. Plus only doing a 2/5ths PFrame activation, for the first time, with only the Defensive Parts, and no idea what it can do with any combination of parts, seems like a Bad Idea with beings of that magnitude fighting it out.

Yeah, but we don't need to know, and spoiling everything is no fun.
Ni resurrected Sixth Heaven entirely because she wanted that hat. She's very disappointed it's gone.
 
@crystalwatcher i have a question regarding affinities.

are magical girls locked at 3 or can more be developed if given enough time? IIRC practitioners started out with one but if they were gifted developed a second?

also what makes a divine being divine? is it a matter of power, ability to project power over vast distances, embodying a concept, ascending to godhood?

you know i don't think i've seen anything from the Olympians side of things, would zeus count as a divine being or what? did the gods exist or did they come into being as stories of them were told
à la campione style?

did heaven and hell come into existence at the same time? and did they predate existence? also are these heaven and hell's the multiversal one or a small portion of the local dimensional cluster? wonder if heaven and hell have anthropomorphic personifications?

...well that was a lot longer than affinities, my bad.

Sorry?

Would now be a bad time to remind you that Paleblood has an Auto-Kill spell?

In order:

Yes, but it usually means they're insane or at the minimum, badly traumatized.

Scale.

At the lower end of the scale yes; I don't know; and that can happen.

No idea; no; LDC exclusive, but there's equivalents outside of it; no idea.
 
@crystalwatcher, another question.

We have an idea of what happens when Concepts die, but what happens when lesser Divine Beings, like Shiva-Sil, Flora, or Gaia die?
Nothing so dramatic thank god. Divine Beings of their scale, usually die with a massive release of energy, and a breakdown of whatever it is they have influence over.

For example, if Flora dies then Moonlight across the LDC will dim everywhere, and any creatures that are strengthened by it will lose that boost, and creatures that are weakened by it will no longer. Any benevolent aspects of moonlight will also become harmful as well, so on so forth.

Just want to let you know that each of the Cores powers one of the PFrame's weapons.

Not saying which ones though.

Ni resurrected Sixth Heaven entirely because she wanted that hat. She's very disappointed it's gone.
So she went on a demon fucking binge? :V

That was horrible and now I feel bad. Still laughing though.

Also this. If you need someone to ask, I'm officially asking.

Please share with the class.

Nice try guys.

As for all these...

Sorry?

*points*

For the two he said "no idea" on:

did heaven and hell come into existence at the same time?
From a mortal perspective? Yes.

wonder if heaven and hell have anthropomorphic personifications?
Not the local ones, though no one thinks that'll last long because of Magical Girls.

Wait...The Progenitor Frame has the Divinity Growth Affinity, which is also a Divine Being Growth Affinity...does the Progenitor Frame count as a Magical Girl(s) or a Divine Being?
Divine Being.
 
@crystalwatcher, I be asking then. The information we had on each mission brief option is severely limited. We don't have even have 10 percent of information. Details nor speculation. Even just speculation it still better than no information. Just the very basic and we are heading in blind... it always a bad idea.

Crystal, what is the general time limit for each of the current available mission? A one time things or reattempt is possible?
What is the expected rewards from each current mission option?
What is the expected fallout from each mission should we fail?
Can we expect backup for any of the mission?
Can give us more details on what the pillar expect to face on those mission?

For example, if Flora dies then Moonlight across the LDC will dim everywhere, and any creatures that are strengthened by it will lose that boost, and creatures that are weakened by it will no longer. Any benevolent aspects of moonlight will also become harmful as well, so on so forth.
And if Gaia dies, humanity is fuuuucked.
Be nice. You've put them in a situation where they're flying blind in an underground maze, while juggling what may or may not be live explosives. :p

You have the information you have because that's what's available IC.

I see...what would happen if a Divine Being later came into existence with the same general portfolio? Like, if Flora were to die, then some however many years/decades/centuries/millennia later a new Moon Divine Being we're to be born, what would happen?

Just want to let you know that each of the Cores powers one of the PFrame's weapons.

Not saying which ones though.
Huh. ...I'm betting Solid Core powers the secondary weapons.

Regarding the missions, if something goes majorly FUBUR, will we be able to call for backup?
 
Like, if Flora were to die, then some however many years/decades/centuries/millennia later a new Moon Divine Being we're to be born, what would happen?
It would likely depend on the new Divine being. Flora has a pretty wide area of effect, the new one might not.

Huh. Didn't take crystalwatcher as a liar. Learn something new everyday. Fuck it I'm going to bed.
He was specifically talking to Gore.

He was specifically talking to Gore.
*Shrug* How was I supposed to know that when the statement was so open ended? Not like he said 'Gore/Lost if you want more info I'll PM you'. The wording of his statement gave no evidence the rest of the thread couldn't ask, and when we did, we got shut down. I call it as I see it.
 
[X]The Victorious Dead (Operation: Soul Collector)

:V Because Summit might be working with Red Rose.

Artemis looks terrifying, and Charon seems to be the sort of thing that needs a fresh team to tackle.

What happened to the days where crystal would just quote bits of speculation with a QB face and spoilers? Lost and Gore pushing discussion around with *secret knowledge* is getting old.

Also I had a terrible omake idea stemming from the 'make empowering a Magical Girl cheaper' that ends up with everyone congratulating Summit and Solid Core for getting married. Summit: "We swapped rings and kissed so I could get a power-up! Really!" Gabriel: "I have knowledge of human customs from my birth, that's a wedding."
