Midori's only point of comparison was a nerfed sidereal shard. *shrug*Alectai said:
No, that's basically "Same, but without hurting Amu or yourself".Durabys said:

Ok then.
What damage was done to Amu, her metaphisiology and the shard.

Cutest Sawk i could find. Lucario is a nice extra.
And Chaos Repelling Pattern saves the day!!! Yeah!
Quick! We must go join our Pseudo Father, Philemon! And then accidentally punch him in the face, when he reveals that he is us.Quantumboost said:
I guess the question now is: Is the 2 points worth of harm counted as how much is broken versus how badly it's broken. Lots of extensive, but recoverable damages or a small, permanent damage to her personality?Baughn said:
I'm hoping at least 1 point is from limit gains. We've probably got at least another 2, so that means Amu is down 2 permanent willpower, recovering at once per month. That's terrible, but I was expecting such when I saw the dire 18 limit gain from the last post. We may be up to 3 permanent willpower down in the worst case scenario, but I'm hoping that force learning a charm that Amu is capable of is not nearly as stressful as GTtMH or merging with her Charas.veekie said:
With luck, the other point won't be too irrevocably terrible either.
On the plus side, maybe merging with two Chara in the future will be less stressful now that she has some experience with it?

You get the option of spending XP to do so. Considering everything that just happened, I think that's fair.Darik29 said:

That'd be immensely useful given the training time is normally months spent in meditation, and the upgrade to "forge reality out of chaos" is Essence 4. As is "increase the lifespan of our friends and family" (i.e. Science of Mutation). Though it'll probably put Amu in XP debt at this point... still totally worth it.

If we don't gain any XP for saving japan, then raising essence put amu in XP debt but only by 5 points, which is slightly less than the gain for completing an arc.
We are also probably the fastest and youngest Solar to gain essence 4, so we totaly rock!
Our next motivation will probably be "bring the rest of reality back from the uncreation.", right?

I'm not sure Solars are allowed to have easy motivations like that. It'll just take a Charm that's well within her reach(Wyld Cauldron Technology is Essence 4, right?), some time, and fighting off opposition. I guess the opposition is pretty significant.Giygas said:

Ikuto Quest, pt 1
She'd looked so fragile, sitting next to him.
He hadn't wanted to let her go. Save the world? Strange new powers? It was all nonsense to him, meaningless excuses to take advantage of a child. One of his little brother's playmates, someone to protect and keep out of Easter's grasp if at all possible. Not someone to depend on, even if she seemed determined to make herself dependable. He'd failed to stop her from getting involved with Easter, which given her nature might have been unavoidable, but this… this shouldn't have been.
He would have taken her place in an instant, had she asked. He would have grabbed her and run away, if he'd thought it would help, if she hadn't been the one who'd invented this plan.
When she'd stood up to him, demanding that he hand her his Key - he hadn't thought of her as a child then, or as fragile. In so many ways she was what he wished he could have been, growing more impressive by the day - but still a child, still - Amu, whose life was the light to his darkness.
So maybe he teased her, provoked reactions from her to let him live vicariously through her. He'd never wished her any harm, nor would he willingly go along with a plan that would harm her. Utau was his little sister in truth, but every bit as broken as him; Amu was the one he wished he'd had, and he'd tried to treat her as one even before her mother made it official. He hoped she was still alive, but if she wasn't, he'd promised to take care of Amu.
So then, why this?
One second he'd watched her screeching to a halt in the middle of the dragon seal, moving with flatly impossible dexterity. The next second - somehow an eternity later - the room was flooded with golden light from no particular source, scorching heat like the centre of the Gobi made him physically recoil from the seal, and Fumi was suddenly screaming instructions into her computer.
He saw Amu drop to the ground, bonelessly collapsing as if someone had cut her strings. A moment later he questioned his own eyes as she impossibly, preposterously fell out of mid-air and landed on top of herself. Ran and Miki shortly followed, hitting her back with loud grunts.
He shouted her name, he was sure he did.
The heap of Amu shifted slightly, then stopped moving. Neither of her charas showed any signs of life. He couldn't see the bottom one well, but his eyes were good and he was sure the topmost Amu wasn't breathing.
The room creaked, then shifted as if in a high wind, even his perception of colour momentarily flickering and inverting, but he didn't care. He needed to save Amu. Question was, how? Even halfway across the room from her, he felt like he was standing in an oven. And who?
[ ] Look for some way of protecting yourself from the heat.
[ ] Bullrush, get in and out fast enough it doesn't matter.
- Which one?
[ ] Sure, write-ins are still allowed. Always.
A/N: Yes, I totally would tell you in advance.
