Plan 'I Have No Better Ideas' is the winner.

Also, you'll be asking the former Jump-chan if she has any preferences on a new name.
 
People voted against having the Sephiroth Graal? The hell?

EDIT: Though, looking it over, Nemesis Ether is pretty good, too. Would have been better to get both of them, IMO, but I suppose it's too late for that now.

Yeah, surprised me too. Even if it's not that powerful in combat, with the sheer amount of useful stuff you can do with it, I'd figured that everyone would jump on it.

Right? It's the ability to manipulate souls and life force. Summon souls, revive people, give people healing factors, make people younger/immortal. Hell, didn't Valerie use it to turn people into dragons?

Yes.

I wasn't around to argue after the initial vote, but its hands down the best for someone who isn't tied to their system.
Like, theres not much that Nemesis Ether/Cassandra Calling can do that you can't already do in Nanohaverse magic you know?

    "A name?" She seems almost perplexed by this. Closing her eyes, she spends a moment in concentration, looking almost comically serious. "How about 'Beatrice'?
    Memory Check: 46+15+50=110
    "Beatrice." You muse to yourself. "Italian form of the Latin name Beatrix; meaning 'voyager' or 'traveler'." You look up at your new companion. "Rather apt."

    "Is that a 'yes'?"

    You pause to think of any potential issues with the name. Nothing comes to mind. "Alright; 'Beatrice' it is, then."
    Beatrice's Dex: 72
    "Yes!" She cheers as she jumps to he feet; managing to not slip on the coils of rope on the ground while doing so. "I can do this!" She appears to be talking to herself. "It'll be just like one of those Gauntlets. Just a bit longer."

    You pause as you mentally go over what you know about Gauntlets. You guess from her perspective, that isn't far off.

    Your mental musings are interrupted as you feel Eliza land on your shoulder. "Should I get her set up with a room, while you're working on the Jump-doc?"

    You make an affirmative hum. "Give her a vial of the linker-core serum, also. We can work on getting her a device later." At the sound of a loud growl, you look to your new Companion, who had frozen while attempting to psyche-herself up. Her hands move to her stomach with a look of confusion. "Maybe show her to the kitchen, first."

    "Sure thing." Your companion acknowledges, an amused tone in her voice.

    As the tiny girl flies over to your new companion, you turn your attention to the floating panel that has appeared in front of you.

    You're pretty happy with how it looks.

    You were tempted to pick up a copy of Sephiroth Graal instead of a custom Longinus, but you were worried that having a powerful, well-known Gear like that would bring too much attention your way.

    The Journal? One that helps you learn how to make Artificial Sacred Gears? Why wouldn't you take that?

    As for Cassandra Calling; being able to see a few moments into the future is handy, but you're really more interested in it's ability to slow down your perception of time while accelerating your thought-processes. The Belkan and Midchildan systems of magic are mostly mental in nature, so having more time to cast spells in a pinch will be incredibly useful.

    The Renewable Demonic Contract is free with the Neophyte background, and you don't see a reason not to take it. Plus, this way you have free maid-service.

    After giving it one last glance, You hit the 'accept' button and the window closes with a flash of light.
    ???: 4
    You feel a strange surge of energy rush through you, and feel a slight weight around your head.

    Reaching up, you realize that you appear to be wearing some sort of circlet; which (upon trying to take it off to get a good look at it) doesn't seem to want to leave your head. A quick trip to the residential section for a mirror shows it to be seemingly made of some kind of dark metal, with a large opal set in the middle.

    Acting on a hunch, you focus some magic your eyes while looking in the mirror. You watch in amazement as the purple irises of your eyes begin to glow, and your pupils take on shapes reminiscent of a camera's shutter; before the world (or your perception of it anyway) seems to slow down to a crawl. The sensation is almost dream-like; like your underwater, but more so. You can move, but all your actions seem to take forever in comparison to your thought process. In addition, you can see an 'echo' of where you're planning on moving your body, that makes things seem even more surreal.

    It's about this time, that you realize that your magical reserves are emptying rather quickly. Nothing too worrying, mind you, but the equivalent of spamming shooter-type spells in the equivalent (subjective) amount of time. You quickly de-activate Cassandra Calling, and the drain on your reserves stops.

    As useful as that was, you mentally file that away as more of a trump-card than something to use casually.

    You're tempted to give Nemesis Ether a try, while you're at it, but promptly squash that urge. Cassandra Calling was one thing, but your pseudo-Longingus was something that you should mess with in a less fragile place; preferably in a lab.

    Still, you're quite happy with how everything has turned out.

    As you're heading back out, you can't help but give an amused grin as you pass by the kitchen area. Beatrice and Eliza are sitting next to a small pile of used plates, and are currently working on some kind of ice-cream confectionery with a surprising amount of gusto (considering the number of dishes that they appear to have cleaned out).

    Technically speaking, Eliza doesn't need to eat, but she enjoys doing so at times. She's also become a surprisingly good chef considering her size, now that she's gotten some practice in. She seems to especially favor making desserts. Not that you're complaining, mind you; what with your body's supernaturally-perfect metabolism letting you enjoy it guilt-free.

    Still, when making things for herself, she tends to make her creations almost sickeningly sweet.

    Personally, you've always been more of a fan of:
    [] Fruit-based desserts. They remind you of happy times when you were younger.
    [] Chocolate. Everyone likes chocolate, it's the food of the gods!
    [] Pastries. Fluffy and rich with some sweetness to add flavor.
    [] (Write-In)
    [] Why are you having us vote on this?
    Anyway, you throw them a cheerful wave (while snagging a spoonful of ice-cream), before heading back out.

    As you arrive into the outer-Warehouse, you notice something on one of the shelves that wasn't there before.

    Strike that; two things: a large notebook that looks like it's seen a lot of use, and a professional-looking folder sitting underneath it. Likely your other purchases.

    Picking up the Tattered Journal, you begin to flip through it. Unsurprisingly (considering that the description stated 'It's written in both an old language and in code'), you can't read a word of it.

    Still, it should make for an interesting and useful long-term project.

    Hm... actually that reminds you; you still need to decipher the code on the linker-core serum that you got from the Nanoha Jump-doc.

    Granted, all it does grant people a functioning linker-core, as opposed to the journal's ability to make Sacred Gears. That said, It looks to be much simpler to decrypt, and making Belkan/Midchildan devices and new doses of the formula will almost certainly be easier than making new Sacred Gears from scratch.

    Hm... What should you focus on first?

    [] Sacred Gear Creation.
    -Unpredictable and seem to break conventional rules of magic.
    -Looks to be a long-term project.
    -Finding materials might be difficult.
    [] Linker Core Serum.
    -Linker-cores are a known quantity.
    -Once the cypher is broken, you should be able to start pumping them out.
    -Relatively easy to find/make devices for people
    [] Wait on any projects.
    -You'll have a bit more time to spend with the others.
    -You'll (hopefully) be able to get a better feel of the situation.
    -Will have to rely on your limited supply of linker-core serum if you want to empower anyone.
    [] (Write-In)

    GM's Notes: I'm really sorry about how long it took to get this out. RL... yeah.

    Anyway, voting will be open until .

    EDIT: Changed how your Sacred Gears expressed themselves and added a bit to that section. Sorry about that guys, I don't know what I was thinking for the original version. :oops:

    [X] (Write-In) Hard liquor. You're not quite sure why, but magical r&d while intoxicated has always yielded interesting results.
    [X] Linker Core Serum.
    I'm not too sure about the universe we're in, but quantity has a quality of its own.

    Fruit's yum, and quite healthy for you too, while chocolate tends to result in trips to the dentist.

    You give a mental shrug. As nice as being able to make Sacred Gears would be, it's more of a long-term goal than something that you'll be able to make use of in this war.

    The ability to give people Linker-Cores, on the other hand, seems much more immediately useful.

    A couple hours pass before you have a breakthrough, of a sort.

    The cypher seems to require information from several minor landmarks from an old Belkan world.

    The good news is that you know (due to your super-recall) that the planet in question is a world under the TSAB's umbrella. Making visiting it a proverbial cake-walk.

    The bad is that it was a world that was badly ravaged during the Belkan wars; so there's a good chance that many of the markers will have been destroyed.

    You suppose that you can check the Infinity Library on Midchilda, but the landmarks are pretty obscure, so there's a chance you may not be able to find what you're looking for.

    You could also ask Reinforce if she has any memories of the relevant areas. She was there when they were still in one piece, after all; and as a Device, her memory is comparable with your own. The only real problem with doing this, is that there's a decent chance that she'll let Hayate know. While you're sure that the girl wouldn't want to cause you problems, she is nine years old; not exactly an age known for discretion.

    Alternatively, since you've gotten to the point where you just need the cypher, you can create a program to attempt to brute-force the solution. It would take about a month to complete, but you wouldn't have to run around looking for answers.

    Hm...
    [] Visit the planet directly and sift through the ruins.
    [] Visit the Infinity Library and attempt to search through their records.
    [] Ask Reinforce and chance getting Hayate involved.
    [] Make a program to crack the cypher.

    But that will have to wait for now. It's almost midnight, and you promised to go with the girls to sign up for the Coalition, tomorrow.

    GM's Notes: Sorry that this one is so short.

    Apparently I've been pushing myself too much this week, because the cold I had has decided to relapse on me. Unfortunately, when I'm running a fever, I tend to stare at the screen blankly instead of write.

    Thankfully, I already had this written before it hit me. I'll try to make the rest up to you guys later.

    Anyway: Voting will be open until .

    • Would the program take a month to make, or a month to run? If it's just the latter, we should make it and work on something else in the meantime. If it's the first...
